@KUTR_BCSD @csubted @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @MaddernBryan This was such a fun and interesting event! I have a few new ideas to try with my students now! #csubedte4200 #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@AlexisTGarcia1 @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 I do this now with my 6th grade students and I think it is valuable time used! Blooket is another resource that is similar, but it has more gamification elements. My kids BEG for me to turn it on! #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@Mari05678 @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 @Duncannedd @csubted Yes, yes, yes!! My 6th graders love when I let them listen to their music while we jog around the track. I find that more of them participate this way! #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 A4) I could've used more Google or Teams applications when I was in college. This would've made collaboration with my peers easier and it would allow for our varying schedules. #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB A3) In my district, all of our curriculum is online and also has a text-to-speech feature. My EL students also have access to bilingual curriculum and it will present it in their primary language. This has been extremely helpful! #csubedte4200 #csubted

@TannerG4200 @Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB @Duncannedd In my district, we use SORA which is an online digital library. It contains audiobooks and books with the text, Students can read and listen to the audio at the same time. I use this in my classroom while we are doing a novel study. #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@winterforce4 @Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB @doctor2pi I love google translate for students because they are able to scan a passage with their device and it will translate it for them. I also like this program because it has multiple languages available, not just Spanish! #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@CDpanchi @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @Ststansberry Teaching during COVID was a major learning experience for me! My district was lucky enough to provide teachers with a HUGE tech package and without it my experience would've have been much worse. #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

[Taylor Mestres @msmestres]

@ChristinaVlaho4 @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @MaddernBryan I can definitely agree with this! As an educator, during distance learning so many of my students were missing instruction due to lack of a stable Wifi connection. What made it worse what that we were pushed to not do packets with students.

[Taylor Mestres @msmestres]

@tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns A2) Distance learning in itself was inequitable for most students in my district. Even though we are back full-time this year, some of my students still don't have access to reliable interner/Wifi to complete at-home activities. #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

[Taylor Mestres @msmestres]

@JunivaB @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @csubted My students love Kahoot and more recently Blooket! They are similar programs, but Blooket offers a more gamification version of Kahoot. #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass

@KUTR_BCSD @doctor2pi @tinkercad @SketchUp A1) I haven't heard about these resources but I loved the example of 6th grade using the 3D Modeling to make models of Mesopotamia. I am going to check it out and have my students complete a model when we finish our Ancient Egypt unit! #csubted #csubedte4200

[Taylor Mestres @msmestres]

@doctor2pi A1) One resources that I love to use in my classroom is FlipGrid! I love all the features that it contains. It is much different than traditional presentations for students given that they can incorporate the features within their videos! #csubted #csubedte4200 @DrEddiesClass
