@BrandtWithNoRem I think it isn't necessarily the tech that leads to frustration but the way it is used. All tech has potential to be a tool or solution and when used in the right scenario it can be helpful but in an unnecessary setting it can be frustrating.

#ISDT5369 Hello all! I'm excited for our interesting conversations! I wanted to start off with one of the questions from Chapter 5 that I think is an important one "What is a new learning initiative that you would like to see at your school and how do you model this yourself?"

@sxa1291 I meant #educationalducttape lol whoops!

[Ms.Lawton @lawton_ms]

@sxa1291 Cool, could you tell me more about this? What is that? Oh, btw, I recently thought of you when I was listening to a podcast called #educationalducktape you should totally check it out! The content reminded me of things you may find interesting considering your background.

@Molly_B_P @missnicks3 I love Peardeck! It is so cool and interactive. I think it can be really useful for small groups even.

@ivanchanhealer I totally agree... speaking of 21st cent. skills recently I asked my students to check their emails.. So many of them were lost. I've dealt with this before, questions like"how do I write an email to..." I just sat down and made them all do it one day. I think it was a start!

[Ms.Lawton @lawton_ms]

@BrandtWithNoRem That sounds really interesting! How do you kind of envision this? What tools are you considering using?

[Ms.Lawton @lawton_ms]

@W_W_Richardson I think this could be pretty easy to start! There are so many tools that I use daily. #googledrive #googleslides and I'm currently obsessed with #googlekeep the tools are so user friendly in my opinion, especially if you are used to most Microsoft products.

@SolitareJ Did you find the concept of digital portfolios in chapter 5 interesting? Also, do you agree with the sentiment in the book of not just saying "lets do this," but trying it your self first?

[Ms.Lawton @lawton_ms]

@Molly_B_P We currently use #canvas and I think it is pretty cool. It is a really versatile tool. Some teachers still struggle with it a lot though, it is literally a canvas... so some of the bareness can be overwhelming in some ways. But, it is easy to share templates for it also.
