@mrssamanthalock@ScottRRocco I agree! I think it's important to allow students room to engage in their own ways that they feel happy and comfortable with. They will enjoy and participate in the learning #TEC207
@alyssah529@ScottRRocco I think this is so smart! I thought about myself, but helping students learn to regulate their emotions towards posts is a great lesson! #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A16) I would encourage students to think more before they post & discuss uplifting oneself & each other w/them. Thinking before reacting is another way to discuss social media w/ students to help them gather info before saying something. #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A15) This means that students should question the sources & info in posts. This is possible b/c we already teach students to do this w/news articles in class. They can continue to fact check by opening another tab & simply looking up the info #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A14) There is a lot of misinformation online & EVERYONE needs to be aware. Students should learn to question the sources so they don't believe and share misinformation. Learning these skills will help them think more critically of their sources #TEC207
@larascarril @ScottRRocco That's how I feel! Keeping it away for a little bit and focusing on something else will ease the negativity out of the mind #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A13) I like to move on from negativity by relaxing & putting on a good show. If I can solve it, great, but if not, I try to let it go so don't keep thinking about it. People can say what they want but I can't let them in my head #TEC207
@leslee1esp@ScottRRocco You're so right! Taking a minute to stop and breathe will go a long way in making sure you don't escalate situations. Not everything is positive online & it's important to remain calm #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A12) A lot of times words get misconstrued online b/c it lacks tone & body language. Being able to explain in person may be more beneficial for some people b/c it can be taken the wrong way when read. It may be better said in person. #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A11) I would use this strategy if I/my school was being criticized online. I would simply read then walk away to see whether it was important enough to respond to. By taking time, I can remove major emotion from the situation & react much more calmly w/my words #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A10) Most teachers use similar tech throughout the school. I'll see what tech I can borrow for my students. They transfer a lot like developping studying habits, like Quizlet for vocabulary, history, & science terms. Students can use tech across a variety of classes #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A9) This is important b/c students should be able to use tech to be more connected & work w/each other. Tech is meant to give access where they normally couldn't & learning w/tech will give students better access to one another. Collaboration will enhance use of ed tech #TEC207
@jenna_E_sharp@ScottRRocco I agree. Keeping it consistent also helps students who are still learning how to manage their own lives/school. It's important to give them a more reliable routine to set them up to be more successful. #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A8) This is important b/c collaboration is key to understanding. Students rely on feedback to know whether or not they understand & that can come from teachers or peers. Having this tool will give students the ability to see their progress & continue learning #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A7) This is suggested b/c too much can be overwhelming for both students and teachers. Keeping it light allows us to use tech responsibly & keep the focus on learning w/o overusing tech. Tech is a tool to help us, not a way of teaching #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A6) Cauliflower is a versatile ingredient in cooking like ed tech is to the classroom. It can be used in so many different ways, especially the tools we already have. This means taking what I have in my class and using it to the fullest extent for my students #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A5) I would promote student choice by allowing them to pick the games we play as a class & giving multiple ways for an assignment to be done. I would provide them with multiple ways to access our material & create polls for students to collect data on what they prefer #TEC207
@ScottRRocco A4) Accessibility is important to consider b/c students may need translation services or caption for their own needs & it's important to find tech that works with and for them as well. Access is key to all student success b/c no one should be left behind #TEC207
