@dhteacher Yeah I have to agree. This class wasn't easy, but I feel like it really helped me in my development as an educator. Moving forward, taking individual lessons and enriching them with technology is going to be the most important thing.

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Much more comfortable with tech now than at the start of the year. Working tech into my lessons is going to be the interesting part. Really enjoyed the class this year #indt501

@skye_lombardo yeah, I think part of what makes AR so useful is that it's so cool. Students will really get into it and put a lot of effort into it.

3D printing can be an invaluable tool for teachers, but it can sometimes be difficult to make it a meaningful assignment. Tying it into the curriculum can be tricky. Besides making symbols and structures, you have to be creative. Not sure how creative I am. #indt501

@oszilevelek93 Important to their development, but one of the biggest hurdles for teachers. Pressure's on us to make something they want to put effort into

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Students won't do work if they don't have to, usually. The out of class part of flipped lessons needs to be meaningful & enjoyable #indt501

@j_yorgason One of my favorite parts of class so far. Net evaluation is so critical in this age of mass information and unreliable news #indt501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Hope to use prob. solving a lot to teach. More engaging & useful in life after school. Reflection stage allows for crit. thinking #indt501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

The net is sometimes information overload. The info in Ch 7 can help students and teachers to ask Qs and navigate the uncertainty. #indt501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

This week was challenging. Practicum teachers had very detailed assignments. No idea how they made those. One day I'll get there. #indt501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

I like smartboards. Let students get out of their seats and actually do something. Kids spend too much time sitting in classrooms. #indt 501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

@Ms___Anderson Think, pair, share, but the sharing done online? I like it. Promotes digital literacy and also creates more time during the classroom.

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

@Erikalanguages Agreed. Students not always mature enough 2 understand repercussions of their actions. Teachin them professionalism can help them understand

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Want a classroom twitter feed. Allows students 2 work together and ask Qs. Also gives them EXP in developing a digital footprint #indt501

@Erikalanguages Doing something we're not 100% comfy with for our students' sake is a vital part of being a teacher. I'm in your boat with the tech issue.

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Teaching with tech: vital for the modern age. TPACK: content, pedagogy, and technology make efficient and authentic lessons. #indt501

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

@MeidtMelissa Comes down to the teacher taking initiative to provide capital to ensure that students have more technology in the classroom to compensate.

[Addam Baxter @mrbaxter603]

Inquiry based learning allows kids to prep 4 life out of school. Life is full of Qs that need to be answered with critical thinking #indt501
