A6: While doing remote learning during the spring I had students meet online at a specific time to play Kahoot games. I had incredible participation for these games. I would continue this and add a few other exciting elements to learning with game in the fall. #edu5213sbu #sschat

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

A5: I have not tried having my students make games. The idea is great and is certainly something I will look into including in my classroom. It could benefit as an end of unit project. #edu5213SBU #sschat

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

Kahoot, Jeopardy, and any dice/card games for math are my go to options. We are not a 1:1 school so I prefer to have non electronic game options for my students to play incase we can't get an ipad cart for the day. #sschat #edu5213sbu

A3: Games can also be used to build on their learning throughout a unit. I've always found having a few math games relating to the unit on hand for the early finishers can encourage other students to get their work done. #sschat #edu5213SBU

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

A3: Games are an excellent way to get started on a unit. Providing a pre assessment through games will help you know where students are and let students start off on the right note with a new unit. #sschat #edu5213SBU

@MrsWreggs Games provide opportunities for students to share their learning in a fun, and engaging way. I have experienced kids learning through games, and not even knowing it at the time. Games can change the atmosphere in the classroom and provide an uplifting environ. #edu5213SBU #SSChat

@MrsWreggs I don't have to many memories of game-based learning growing up. The most I can remember is math games that usually involved reciting multiplication facts in front of the whole class. These games did not have a positive impact on my learning. #edu5213SBU

Hi, I am a 5th grade teacher in Surrey, BC Canada. My favorite game was Life. #edu5213SBU

Intro: Where & what do you teach? What was your favorite game growing up? #sschat

There are so many uses for smart speakers to work with learning. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge on how I can make a device safe in my classroom, which is the most important thing a teacher can do when implementing these devices in school. #edu5213SBU

What are your key takeaways from tonight's #edtechchat?

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

A6: For a student that has this device at home it can be used to help with spelling and research. From reading your article earlier, I believe students can use the app if they do not have the device. #edu5213SBU

Q6: Can you think of ways a voice assistant might help with quarantined learning? #edtechchat

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

@LinskyMadeline Are you able to see them now? I sent both to you

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

A3: I did not know this. I think this information should be advertised more by Amazon as I have been in classrooms where I do not think the teacher had these settings in place. #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

Q3: Did you know that Amazon Alexa has an edtech challenge for skill developers (a skill is a program that runs on the echo device)? Did you know that if you layer FreeTime on an Alexa device it is then COPPA compliant? What's your thoughts on this? #edtechchat

Q5: Are the current student privacy laws relevantly worded to include today's (or tomorrow's) technology? #edtechchat

Q4: Did you know that Conversational Design is being called the "next frontier"? How can we prepare students to have familiarity with this computer science interface? #edtechchat

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

A5: Technology changes almost weekly it seems. Privacy laws must also be updated frequently to fit with the needs. #edu5213SBU

A4: Students can be introduced to CD by more than a smart speaker. Working in collaborative groups to share ideas in the classroom is also working towards CD. Most families have enough smart phones at home to become familiar with the computer science portion. #edu5213SBU

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

@juliedavisEDU Thank you. I did not know that this could be done. #edu5213SBU #Edtechchat

[Jaidyn Mawhinney @msmawhinney]

I would need to know that there are privacy settings in place. I currently feel as though smart speakers take to much of our personal information and parents may not feel comfortable with that in the classroom with their child. #edu5213SBU #EdTechChat

Q2: What would make you feel comfortable with using the emerging technology of smart speakers in the classroom? #edtechchat
