@OilBeak @CoffeeSacred @Isuckatpicking Lol @CoffeeSacred is just further proving the point as to why more money needs to go to education. Media literacy clearly not Ray’s forte!

As technology is continuously integrated into our daily routines, it is important, as educators, to provide many opportunities for students to be innovative and creative in regards to programming, instead of merely consuming and using technology. #week6tech252

Community makerspaces allow students to interact with hands-on learning activities while engaging in critical thinking and creative expression. #week6tech252

Coding allows for abstract ideas to feel tangible, which can be very useful for students. It allows students to “see” the math. 👀 #week6tech252

When we think of disabilities, we typically think of those with physical impairments. However, AODA accommodates for all disabilities, including vision deficiencies, deafness, intellectual or developmental disabilities, learning and mental health disabilities. #week5tech252

The advances in technology have really opened up a lot of really amazing ways that we as teachers can help our students i.e. speech-to-text software useful for students with fine motor issues. #week5tech252

I believe there should be more formal training for educators in collecting and using data. This would ensure proper implementation, and support any identified problems. #week4tech252

Schoology and Wix are two additional resources for students to create their own e-portfolios. Using these resources will encourage students to contribute to their own portfolio in an online platform that better corresponds with their daily lives. #week4tech252

I haven’t had much experience with Khan Academy in the past, but the opportunity for self-paced learning can be extremely valuable in providing equity of learning in the classroom. #week4tech252

How do we protect our students online without crossing the line of being overbearing and overprotective where we end up doing more harm than good? #week3tech252

Crazy to think that in the UK 51% of infants aged 6-11 months use a touch screen daily!! #week3tech252

Teachers & parents shouldn’t be scared of letting kids explore the online world, instead, they should teach them how to effectively and safely navigate and interact with it. #week3tech252

[Michaela Martin @michaela_m19]

Although it is vital for children to be stimulated linguistically at a young age, language is experience-dependent and reciprocal. By the age of 3, children in high-income families know more than double the amount of language and words than low-income counterparts #week3tech252

Digital content has given us the ability to use differentiated instruction for our students. We are able to personalize their learning by picking and choosing resources that will help each and every student’s needs #week2tech252

Teachers are held to a high standard when it comes to their professionalism. The online world is another outlet where professionalism will be judged. Teachers must be aware of their online actions both professionally and privately. #week2tech252

[Michaela Martin @michaela_m19]

Does the use of technology in schools promote creativity? In my opinion, it does. According to the ISTE Standard of Innovative Designer, students use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, and creating innovative artefacts. #week2tech252

[Michaela Martin @michaela_m19]

I believe divergent thinking must be the main focus of the education system in order to support different and varying intelligences. Without this, we marginalize large groups of individuals that don’t fit into the category society defines as “smart”. #week1tech252

[Michaela Martin @michaela_m19]

When students experience positive emotions, they are motivated and long-term recall improves. However, I do believe that written tests inflict negative emotions on students. Are there other ways to assess learning that do not detriment a students’ learning capacity? #week1tech252
