@MrHamiltonWSUV @brierly_harris @trevor_cashmore I'm just going to second this

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A7: Stuff from the blog Cult of Pedagogy, which is where I found my recent education app during the lesson last week. It's also what Shameem wants us to look at for class tomorrow, so I'm guessing it has some good stuff. #EdTechChatWSUV

@brierly_harris @Mr_Blystone Definitely! It helps that a lot of social studies is more about the skills than the concepts! #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A6: Change gears for sure. If the information isn't necessary and the student's aren't connecting, then we can switch with no consequences. If it is necessary and we don't switch, students won't learn it which is not good. #EdTechChatWSUV

@eun5124 @MrHamiltonWSUV I had a teacher make us put profile photos up on Canvas (basically Blackboard) because it was an online class, but she still wanted us to remember that we were talking to other people in our discussion posts. I feel like that's cool. #EdTechChatWSUV

A5: Not to put on the internet, but if they're for the classroom, sure. If I were teaching 18 year-olds I would let them make their own decision for their profile picture, but otherwise strongly encourage avatars. #EdTechChatWSUV

@randireed889 So many internet safety things! #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A4: Teaching them what information is safe to put on the internet! Like if they put videos on YouTube, not using their real name as their username and not revealing where they live or what school they go to. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

@trevor_cashmore @MrsMcCoy19 @Mr_Blystone Haha, true!

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A4.2 Also making great use of the “only people with a link can see” setting that a lot of websites have. #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A3: Virtual museum tours, looking at current events online (potentially in real time), and apps like Newseum are all great ways to integrate digital instruction. Current events make it super easy because that's just paying attention to life. #EdTechChatWSUV

@caitynicole7 @GryphonsPBL My boyfriend has a VR system and a program he uses to create VR stuff called Unity. I think it's a pretty basic program too...

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A2: The first thing that popped into my head (probably because Cory was asking the question) is Kahoot! Nothing like getting kids excited and competitive to really cement those concepts! #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

@AnjaSundstrom @Mr_Blystone Ooooh, yeah. Being able to talk to international teachers would be really cool! #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

A1!

SXSWEdu! I've always wanted to go to SXSW and the education element makes it even cooler! #EdTechChatWSUV

[Miranda Elliott @mirandaelliott0]

@Mr_Blystone Lucky! #EdTechChatWSUV

So glad my desk is in front of a window #naturallight #EdTechChatWSUV
