A% The tech tool that I could not do without is OneNote. I use it daily to organize the many facets of my professional and personal life. #tigertechsquad
A4 Having a growth mindset means that you understand that understand that learning is a process. You may not something now, but that doesn't mean that you can't learn it. #tigertechsquad
A3 A lifelong learner is someone who is constantly trying to better themselves and grow. They understand that the world keeps changing and we must do the same in order to continue to make an impact. #tigertechsquad
A1 I think I used to have a fixed mindset when it came to learning, like my brain just does not understand math or science. Now, I think I could have I just wasn't interested. Learning has more to do with attitude than our brains. #tigertechsquad
Happy Friday, Tigers!
Don’t forget this Monday, November 12 is a staff development day for our UIL competition. Classes resume Tuesday, November 13. Good luck to all of our UIL competitors!
@kb5wmw I completely agree! If someone just gives me a handout with a tech tool idea, I probably won't do anything with it, whereas if I play and brainstorm, I am more likely to put it to good use.
@kb5wmw Technology has been essential in helping our kiddos who need things read to them. It is extremely difficult to administer a test and meet everyone's needs without the use of technology.
A5 AR/VR are going to great tools in the very near future. I think there are still some things to figure out, but it is going to be a tool that can offer students experiences that we couldn't normally offer or even dream of. #tigertechsquad
A4 Students get excited when they get to try something new. I have been using QR codes in the library to engage reluctant readers with book trailers, and it seems to get them excited about their next book choice. #tigertechsquad
A3 It is always more meaningful when teachers get to try the tech tools out for themselves. Sometimes it is hard to see how something can be put to good use unless you try it yourself.#tigertechsquad
A2 Tech should be a tool to further engage learners and present new ways of learning. However, it should not be used just for the sake of using it. When using tech it is always beneficial to evaluate its value at the end of the lesson. #tigertechsquad
A1: I am trying to learn everything I can about technology and how to incorporate it, since it has never been my strongest attribute. I am also using DBs on Schoology to pose questions and stretch my students thinking about the library. #tigertechsquad
@DHolt627@librarianlady33 I love this movie and this clip. It is one of my favorites and something that I constantly have to remind myself. I think the message would also resonate with students.
@smarcale I like the idea of posting the goals on the board. It is easy to forget to share, but they are posted then it acts as a visual reminder to go back to what your goals are and discuss them with the class.
@smarcale I think it is so easy to go with what we have always done and stay in our comfort zones. I have to remind myself sometimes that I am not done learning as well. Pinterest helps to keep me on my toes. :)
