What better way to teach other teachers how to use Seesaw than actually using Seesaw for the professional development? This is a short video that shows how to create a PD session on Seesaw by using Seesaw. :)

MOOCs are for EVERYONE! I always thought if I want to learn something new, my only options are reading a book on the topic, or getting lost in the endless & often misleading info available online, but then I discovered MOOCs! #CSUFEdTech #21stCenturyEd

As part of a five lesson series on #DigitalCitizenship provided by #CommonSense, I taught my students a lesson titled "Picture Perfect" about the reality behind digital marketing & photo editing. Incorporate #MediaLiteracy in your classroom! #CSUFedtech https://t.co/eH60au7ihE

My 4th graders love watching BrainPop videos. Check out this great video you can use to teach your students about #MediaLiteracy !! #CSUFedtech #EducatedConsumers https://t.co/hDpj54KzFW

@miss_nguyen_ I do! It helped that we were also teaching research and inquiry skills simultaneously through our IABs (SBAC prep)...

[Alissa Hicks @MissHicks7]

A4: #DigitalCitizenship is a great start for teaching students how to become information literate. My school just earned our #CommonSense recognition for 3rd-6th grade completing a series of Digital Citizenship lessons! #csufedtech

[Alissa Hicks @MissHicks7]

Fun experience! Thanks #csufedtech !! My students would LOVE doing this!

[Alissa Hicks @MissHicks7]

Capable! #csufedtech #TwitterChat

@CSUF_EdTech Great question! I know that my district allows teachers to request access/use of apps, and that it must go through an approval process, however, I have never requested to use a social media platform. Hmm...

[Alissa Hicks @MissHicks7]

A3: For me, the greatest challenge with social media is district permission & parent consent, followed by being concerned about being able to ensure meaningful participation. Parents fear #BYOD because they think their child only uses their device to play games #CSUFedtech

@andra_rachelle I LOVE that! I've been using Class Dojo for years, but apparently not to it's full capacity! :) I'll definitely check out those features!
