CSUF Ed Tech Cohortian

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

This Friday I will complete my EdTech Master's Program! I got to network with my undergrad program yesterday and they invited me to share my PD on promoting student creativity. Nervous but excited to see what the future holds

A checklist all change agents should consider.
We all remember PDs that we’re not worth the time #ratherbegrading #shouldhavebeenanemail #engagementmatters

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

As teachers, we want the best for our students. When change agents help teachers understand the WHY of a change, they are able to create a positive impact for all and build a community that supports one another.

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Great mentors understand they are change agents who should demonstrate optimism and hope to their mentees. They know the importance of listening and being a lifelong learner.

A reminder to my future self: a grant should not focus on technology but the purpose! How will students benefit and learn with technology? Also, check the RUBRIC! #grants #csufedtech

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Santa Ana teachers the Spark grant provides up to $1,000 for curriculum-based projects that do not have an available funding source. Project should contribute to student learning + educational goals + align with curriculum

@edutopia Yes! 9th graders mostly

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Change should be a PURPOSEFUL PROCESS. COMMUNICATE focus/purpose (revolve around student learning) to all involved, gauge PERCEPTION of the innovation & involvement in its adoptions, and identify CONCERNS that individuals may have

We know the 4 Cs, but once again Edutopia helps us choose the best tech tools for our class with 6 Cs: Content, Context, Creed (beliefs), Channels (accessibility), Choice, and my favorite... Cauliflower (using ed-tech tools in innovative ways)

EDEL 522 showed me there are an abundant of free learning resources. Help your students become mathematical thinkers with this free self-paced online course through @joboaler #youcubed. #csufedtech #mooc @TitanPrezVirjee @csufcoe https://t.co/V6v6fiAG06

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Can't wait to suggest ICT Literacy lessons to Freshman Mentor Program so next year students will be able to effectively identify, access, evaluate, organize, and communicate the information they find online

@CSUF_EdTech I didn't thank you!

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Last week learned what a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is. Still struggling to find a free one about pixel art.
Math teachers, have you seen one about pixel art or one that is specific to math? I always like PD that is content-specific

[Shantel Lopez @ms_lopez_m]

Thinking about doing this one on Google Sheets since it teaches conditional formating

For my elementary school teachers, follow @hellomrsharwick on Instagram to see how she uses podcasts for ELA, or check out her blog post

Anyone know of any podcasts to use in a math classroom?
