Studying Education

[Mr. McCormick @MrMcCormick3]

Using tech is a great way to make formative assessments engaging. I personally enjoy padlet and Kahoot! #CougarsEdTech

I can see why students would like Microbits. The tangible object was fun to experiment with. Though, I still prefer Scratch for coding. #CougarsEdTech

[Mr. McCormick @MrMcCormick3]

One way to use Scratch in a Math classroom would be to have students create digital story problems. They could experience coding, then get to solve each other's story problems. It would be a fun and interactive experience. #CougarsEdTech

Scratch is amazing. I had so much fun using it tonight. I think I had more fun making my own sound effects though. #CougarsEdTech

So many cool activities today. I’m excited to have students get to experience them in the future. Every student should have the chance to experience CS. #CougarsEdTech

Megan Smith was the first female Chief Technology Officer of the United States. She has been influential in the fight for more women in STEM. Today, she is an advisor for Tech Job Tours, which helps facilitate diversity in tech. #CougarsEdTech

I had never heard of Nearpod before. I got to use it twice today. It’s a cool program that allows for student participation during presentations #CougarsEdTech

I was introduced to the Lee & Low Classroom Library Questionnaire today. It is a very useful tool for screening books. #CougarsEdTech

Got to learn a lot of fun tips and trick for Google Docs. Who knew I've been using it wrong my whole life? I'm excited to be able to implement them in my classroom! #CougarsEdTech

Hello. I'm excited to learn about technology. #CougarsEdTech
