Just a mom and #edtech professor foraging this media rich world in an attempt to strike the perfect balance between our #primordial roots & modern conveniences.

@CarissaSzabo8 This is adorable!

We didn’t get a chance to talk about @Seesaw, but this platform is worth a look especially as we begin to think about flipping our lessons. Seesaw is an amazing tool for our littlest learners.

[Alyssa Piccolo @Alyssa_ED1]

This article has many amazing ideas. For example, SeeSaw allows both the students and teachers to upload videos of fluency in reading and the creation of new stories as well. This is new to me! This in my opinion is a amazing tool and resource. #gilmaned210

@SarahMarkmann I love ShowMe, it’s such a simple tool that can be used across grades, and subject areas. I also love that it meets all the principles of UDL...representation, engagement and expression! That is versatility at it’s best.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@JuliePurtschert These are great tools, and they reflect our class discussion about S.S. being easily integrated in ELA and with the 4 C’s!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@RileyMarsden37 I love word clouds. They are a great practice that meets the UDL principle of multiple means of representation...and actually expression as well!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@Jessierindos_ This is a fantastic visual summary of the phases of technology integration. I wonder where you think your experience falls?

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@MeaghanDrew I love this post. It reflects so much of what we have discussed this semester about how banning certain technologies or resources isn’t the answer...the solution to the problem is teaching students how to use the resources safely and ethically.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@K_Costello24 This is a great connection between UDL and your SMART goal, and is so important to consider when choosing which tools to use in your classroom.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

Innovative leaders, I need your help! I’m working with a school to create a trauma sensitive attendance campaign? Has anyone has any success with this type of system, or can you point me in the right direction? TIA! #innovation #attendance #traumainformed @attendanceworks

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@K_Costello24 How can we design school so we don’t need accommodations. That is the heart of UDL and school reform.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

This is a great representation of how #UDL can work to make learning a more equitable experience for all students. #gilmaned210

[danica glover @danicaagloverr]

I feel like this photo is a great representation that everyone has different needs in life. In UDL we must accommodate and support all students because not all students learn the same way. #gilmaned210

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@danicaagloverr The systemic barrier has been removed!! This has so much meaning beyond just UDL. If we really want to reform education we have to focus on equity and removing barriers.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@EHurley2024 I love this. It incorporates choice and reminds me of the hyper docs and learning menus we have used in class.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@MeaghanDrew These are great tips, and a reminder that UDL doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

A few of you tweeted this and I think this is worth repeating “good technology integration isn’t about living at the top of the SAMR model; it’s about being aware of the range of options and picking the right strategy—or strategies—for the lesson at hand.” #gilmaned210 #edtech

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@edutopia Love this quote: “good technology integration isn’t about living at the top of the SAMR model; it’s about being aware of the range of options and picking the right strategy—or strategies—for the lesson at hand”. That is a real reflection of TPACK and SAMR working together!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@erin_parquette The schools reason for adopting the SAMR model reflects so many of the concepts or ideas we’ve talked about this semester…versatility, access, higher levels of thinking!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@danicaagloverr I love that this visual also emphasizes that certain classroom practices can be used as various levels too. Note taking can be so much more than a recall and memory task!

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@JuliePurtschert I love that this post focuses on authentic collaboration, not just “working together”. Part of that process is teaching students the skills of group work and collaboration.

[Maureen @maureen_gilman]

@RileyMarsden37 Not only is this building 21st century skills, but it’s also a very culturally responsive practice. Students are going to want to read comics and graphic novels, so why not encourage them to learn to read them at a higher level, and appreciate them beyond just the images.
