@_katechavez @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole I agree with you that a major barrier for providing or making devices accessible to the community would be funding. Many schools relay on grants or federal funding but those are always enough. #csubedte4200 #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@misssmacauley @tom_karnes @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole I was just introduced to Nearpod the other day when I was subbing for a 7th grade class. I was very impressed with its ability to engage the whole class as well as give individualized feedback in real time to the students. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTED @Tech_Buddha

@fox_scrimshire @Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Hi Fox, I didn't know that about Gmail either! I will have to check it out. Communicating with parents is such an important part of teaching ELL's a program like this can be very valuable.

@MichelV4200 @tom_karnes @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole I like the idea of engaging history students using Google Maps or Expeditions! It could give students a chance to
"visit" places that they wouldn't normally get to go. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTED @Tech_Buddha

@tom_karnes @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole A4) In a middle school history class I like using WebQuests or Thinglink to engage students in content. I also like using Kahoot or Gimkit for checking understanding. #CSUBted #csubedte4200

@AlexisKyker @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Schools could also have hotspots available to check out. During the pandemic our main problem was not getting devices to student but getting WiFi into homes. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTED @Tech_Buddha

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole A3) One of the main barriers is access to the internet, especially in rural and low income areas. We can help make technology accessible by having not only Chromebooks/ipads but also hotspots available for check out. #CSUBted #csubedte4200

@darwinismbio @Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole @DrEddiesClass I agree with you Ashley! Jamboard is a great tool for ELL's because its interactive and teachers or students can add visuals or notes to help with their understanding and with making it meaningful. #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

[Amber Grainger @laoshiamber]

@Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole A2) I think programs like FlipGrid are beneficial to ELL's because they provide opportunities to practice English not only in a safe environment but also in away that is collaborative. #CSUBted #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@cdrummer9196 @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha Hey Chris, I agree that when teachers use programs that are more "game" like, such as Kahoot or Gimkit, they can learn about their students personalities in a less structured environment. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTED @Tech_Buddha @cdurmmer9196

[Amber Grainger @laoshiamber]

@AlexisKyker @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha Hey Alexis, I also think Flip Grid is a great app for enhancing the relationship between students and teachers. Unlike other collaborative apps it allows participants to see each others faces as they collaborate. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTED @AlexisKyker @Tech_Buddha

[Amber Grainger @laoshiamber]

@doctor2pi A1) Technology allows teachers to not only engage with students using a platform that is relevant to them, but also there are a number of apps and programs that can enhance collaboration such as Google Docs, Class Dojo, and Flip Grid. #CSUBTED , #CSUBEDTE4200 @Tech_Buddha

Take time to inform students of why you are doing what you are doing and why you are teaching the way you are teaching.
