@DegenovaAmber I've found myself shifting my mindset lately thinking about unit planning & focusing more on the professionals I can invite to speak to us. Though I won't have any digital students, I plan to use Zoom next year to increase real-world opportunities in my classroom! #KSUITEC7410
One of the greatest improvements quality tech integration can make in our classrooms is to connect them with the world around us. A more connected classroom will be more student-centered, more culturally responsive, and more relevant to the students we serve. #KSUITEC7410
@DegenovaAmber I love augmented reality and, more importantly, my students do, too! For me, one of the biggest hurdles in integrating AR into the classroom is the cost. Do you know of any grants specifically targeted at increasing AR in the classroom? #KSUITEC7410
@ChMastrangelo This is such an important concept. In my opinion, if you don't think a digital divide exists in your school, you aren't talking to the right people. Cultivating a community with the teachers you work with is so important. They might see something you overlook! #KSUITEC7410
@shellyvitale I've learned to accept the things I can't control this year as far as cheating goes. I put the kids in their own breakout room to allow them to ask questions w/o disturbing others and keep them from stressing about pace!
Testing season is upon us! How do you prevent cheating when giving assessments in an online/hybrid class? (Zoom tips especially appreciated!) #TechTipsPLN
@kristyolivarri@nearpod is engaging and motivating for my in person and digital kids! Itβs been a go to for me this year and you can include a Time to Climb at the end to review
@DegenovaAmber I second @nearpod ! My kids love it and so do I. @PlayBlooket is a new addition to my review game repertoire and they love that one too!
I'm starting to see the light at the end of the 20-21 school year tunnel! I'm also starting to think about the drop off in motivation that happens at this time of year. How do you plan to keep your digital kids engaged as we get close out the year? #digitalgwinnett
@ChMastrangelo A2: I can't think of any that I know about and haven't tried. My weakness lies in jumping into a new tool too fast and with a little too much enthusiasm before maybe being fully prepared to use it! π
@ChMastrangelo A1: I'm using the people around me! I've learned about new digital tools from people in my grad school cohort and coworkers at my school.
Mine? Live updating tools like #nearpod and #whiteboardfi have been game changers for targeting math misconceptions in real time. I can see what they are doing and provide reteaching on the spot - just like I would in person. #digitalgwinnett#teachgwinnett
It is so important for our digital kiddos that we track their progress and understanding in a meaningful way. What has been your go to tool this year for accomplishing this? #digitalgwinnett
