@tucker_teach Surprisingly, no. If you give up you have no way of moving up! I remind my students that it’s anyones game up to the last question. If someone at the top of the leaderboard gets it wrong it opens the door for someone to sneak in there!

@ShannonZeccola Our school district has a tech department as well as district technology coaches that are available for assistance. I do feel that teachers are the first line but we have additional support for parents and tech needs.

@mrsyoungchs We don’t have this issue at the elementary level but I do feel there needs to be some guidelines for in the classroom at the secondary level. If they are being used for school related things but how is that monitored?

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@SchafflerCHS I think each teacher should be able to customize their course. I can see the challenge though for students who have multiple teachers or for related arts classes where it could be beneficial to have more uniform look. Maybe a mix of both is the solution.

@SJShissler Our school offered an enrichment camp over the summer that was tech based - coding and general tech. Nothing that I am aware of is outside of the classroom during the school year. I think it’d be a great idea though!

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@tucker_teach Pros - shows what students know cons - need devices and some students may just answer to answer quick without thinking about the question.

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@tucker_teach I love using Kahoot! and the students also love it. It’s nice to be able to see what the students know and what they are still struggling with. I use Kahoot! as a review tool in the health classroom. Our school has even done school wide Kahoot! family night!

@EdTechMilkshake While technology in education is becoming more and more common, I do feel there needs to be a limit. Too much screen time is not beneficial for students. They need to have hands on opportunities as well as opportunities to build social skills.

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@klineawilmu I would definitely say Google tools. I love using Google slides for my lessons. They have helped me make sure I don’t miss information in my instruction and they help provide visuals for my students to make it fun and engaging!

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@DHS_CoachClark @EdTechLaura We do a mindful moment each class. Most of the time it’s embedded into my Google Slides and is just a short 2-3 minute video other times we take a minute and focus on breathing before/after a transition

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@ChallburgTeach @McCoolWILMu I am a huge fan of the functionality of Google tools. I use slides daily for my health lessons as well as a platform for student projects (both individual and group). Forms also provide an easy way for students to answer questions or surveys anonymously. #wuedt6020

Twitter Chat (Week 5): It has been said that EdTech improves student-teacher connection. What does this look like in your classroom and how do you feel technology has enhances those connections? #wuedt6020

This should be displayed at the front door entrance of every school.🧠🌱

@papayapappas @EdTechLaura Great point. I like to think it will eventually help them and allow them to build that confidence for public speaking as it provides practice even if to a computer screen. Providing a stepping stone to communicating in public settings.

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@tucker_teach Enhance - great way to describe it! Technology opens the door to so many possibilities in education and student learning. #wuedt6020

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@JoyMac22 I agree, virtual teaching is a whole new world and has definitely forced a lot of us to put our creative caps back on or turn them into overdrive to meet the needs of our students. Technology has helped with a lot of that.

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@klineawilmu @EdTechLaura I like you’re thinking. You’re right, maybe not better but different. Tech provides options that traditional learning does not allow. Students learn in a variety of ways and tech provides a tool to help us reach more students.

@djdanij7 I’ve always been told 5-7 minutes, smaller chunks are better for keeping attention and focus. Even as an adult after 7 minutes I start to lose focus #wcuedt6020

[Kelly Hainsey @khainsey22]

@LizMoraMartinez I like the idea of polls and daily questions. I do a daily check in at the beginning and end of each class.
