Games, especially simulation games, are a powerful way for student to practice and see the consequences of their decisions in digital environments. Check out @CommonSense's Digital Compass for middle school students. My 6th graders loved it. #21stCenturyLiteracy

@brainpop delivers again. 6th graders had lots of discussion after watching the Social Media video and the activities about oversharing online. Love seeing how they are developing their digital citizenship identities. #21stCenturyLiteracy #TimandMoby #BrainPOPEducators

"Understanding multimodalities can tap into skills students have developed as products of their generation." A little truth bomb from Boche & Henning about how multimodal texts can scaffold traditional and new literacy skills. #21stCenturyLiteracy

Thanks, @Scholastic Book Fairs for creating author videos and book trailers that kids get excited about reading! The advertised books are flying off our book fair cases. #21stCenturyLiteracy #ScholasticBookFairs #EnchantedForest

I am loving my closed Facebook group to let parents know about all the fun things happening in the MS library like book clubs, lessons, and the upcoming book fair. 63 members and counting! #21stCenturyLiteracy #homeschoolconnection

Love @Flocabulary's {free} videos, but especially Nonfiction Text Structures one. Not only did students listen attentively, there were lots of requests to watch it again. Why yes, I will happily replay this educational video. #21stCenturyLiteracy #TeacherWin

Just discovered all the innovative and engaging digital citizenship lesson plans from @CommonSenseEd. Can't wait to try them out with my sixth graders. What is your go-to site or app for teaching digital citizenship? #oklaed #21stCenturyLiteracy

Tried out the online game, @GetKahoot, with my 6th graders this week! What a fun, interactive way to assess students' knowledge of call numbers. As always, there were a few growing pains, but it was still a great experience integrating technology. #21stCenturyLiteracy

For my @UofOklahoma #NewLiteracies grad class, I am reading about #podcasts in the classroom and how they can level the playing field for struggling readers. #oklaed teachers, how are you using podcasts in your classroom? What apps do you use? #21CenturyLiteracy

To celebrate #LibraryCardSignUp month, students explored the websites of public libraries around globe. Not only did practice navigating websites to find specific information, they also learned that #LibrariesTransform lives around the world. #21stCenturyLiteracy

My first experience with FlipGrid today with 8th graders. My question prompt about setting might have been too confusing, but the kids loved working in their group to film their response. Not quite TPACK+, but I stepped out on a limb! #21stCenturyLiteracy

"Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to model high quality uses of digital technologies for students and their families." -Bridging Technology and Literacy by Hutchinson and Colwell (2015). What are you modeling for your students? #21stCenturyLiteracy

Looking forward to upping (starting) my Twitter game in my last ever grad school class, Digital and Multimodal Literacies. Excited to see how I can improve my instruction with new literacies. @oueducation #21stCenturyLiteracy
