having to tell an already fragile senior that the district 15-day dropped her, 1 month after having her baby, due to a piece of paper we cannot get signed (HIPAA + bureaucracy), is what has finally broken me.

These middle schoolers realized there was no kids' book about composer Florence Price — the first Black woman to have her music played by a major U.S. orchestra.

So they wrote, illustrated and published their own book. It's available in stores now.

In my few months with my kindergarten classroom, I have learned about so many apps that they love to use on their iPads and I'm so excited to include them in my own classroom one day #ci5307

The end of the semester is coming up and I am feeling the stress! Take care of your mental health these next few weeks!

@tyLanasaurusrex A5: I will be looking for a school that values diversity and is inclusive! I want to work in a school where they are using tech to make students lives easier and I would hope the school provides tech for its students! #ci5307 @MrLostetter

@tyLanasaurusrex A4: I think one account everyone should follow is @ClassTechTips I was drawn to their account because I am always interested in finding new ways to include technology into the classroom. #ci5307 @MrLostetter

[Maya West @mayawest1010]

@SheridanLibby @tyLanasaurusrex @MrLostetter yes! accessibility is so important and I think part of that is having good public wifi since some students may not have access to that at home.

@tyLanasaurusrex A3: I think that technology allows us to find and provide more representation in our classrooms. Say you have a very diverse classroom, but your books are centered around white heteronormative narratives, then tech allows you to find and show more diversity.

@tyLanasaurusrex @LynneaWest @LT_UMN small world!

@tyLanasaurusrex @CAST_UDL A2: I would use technology to give students the choice of platforms to use. Instead of writing a discussion post, maybe they make a flipgrid/jamboard post instead. I think giving students choices help with creativity and encourages all different kinds of learning. #CI5307 #pstpln

@tyLanasaurusrex A1. Hi my name is Maya West. My experience as a K-12 student involved a lot of different aspects of spanish and the cultures that come with it since I went to a Spanish Immersion school. I'm so grateful for it! #ci5307 @MrLostetter

[Maya West @mayawest1010]

super interesting read! #CI5307

With most schools fully reopened, teachers can still use tech-based tools to support their teaching practice.

Teaching myself the ITSE standards and a lot of it has to do with working collaboratively! I love collaboration between classmates!

Found this article about technology in Ireland and think it's interesting to compare the EU and the US! #CI5307 https://t.co/w5zjqMH7FQ
