@MrsKoehler2 Agreed! What works for some may not work for others and that’s okay! :) #tldeuno2021

A4/wrap up: My advice would be to keep an open mind about all the different apps that are out there and coming out. There are so many but that gives us many options to help us and support our students in their learning. #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@Miss_Denker Yes! Making sure students have access is extremely important! #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@LauraRigoni9 I also agree! I think with how everything is shifting to be more tech savvy, we definitely need to be teaching or having a class for digital citizenship. Nowadays it is so important for them to learn how to be safe and responsible online citizens. #tldeuno2021

A3: I think schools can make sure to set aside some time for teaching how to use some Edtech tools and make sure to leave time for questions. I also think providing access to some videos in case they need extra help. #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

A2: I haven’t gotten to experience any Edtech trainings with my district, but I would love a training on tools that they use. I’m not sure which they use but any in depth trainings or shortcuts I think would be great to learn. #tldeuno2021

@HannahRothermu1 I LOVE that idea! I’ll be teaching ELA this coming year, I’m definitely going to consider doing this!

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@MrsKoehler2 @PearDeck It is extremely useful! I absolutely love it!

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

A1: An app that I will share with my colleagues is @PearDeck ! I love the different uses it has and it is a great tool for formatively assessing students! #tldeuno2021

@MsLewis37427418 Honest question! I have seen but never used Seesaw. It looks a bit confusing, is it pretty user friendly? #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@LauraRigoni9 I am super excited to try this out! #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@KelsySherwood I student taught and subbed in Elkhorn! What school are you at?

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

Hi everyone! My name is April and I will be teaching 6th grade ELA in the fall. I normally find my Edtech through searching on Google or from coworkers. #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@MrsNightser Agreed! We need to teach our kids how to be safe and responsible when using technology. #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@GeorginaD_UNO Collaboration is very important, especially when we’re learning new tools! #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

Wrap Up: I can picture more and more schools using Ed tech but I can also picture the problem of not having enough tools for the students to use. I am also excited to see all the new apps and tools to come. #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@razorsenglish @natalierenee316 This is great advice! #tldeuno2021

[April Neidig @MissNeidig]

@AutumnHenkenius I agree! It is important to make sure the technology adds to the lessons. #tldeuno2021
