@tonyaellis16 @feltnerm @smwc Technology is huge in the classroom today! Most learning and school work is through technology. SAMR is a great learning tool for educators.

@katrinalm4 @feltnerm @smwc SAMR gives educators the ability to better their teaching through technology to support students learning!!

[Rachel Esancy @RachelEsancy]

@katrinalm4 @feltnerm @smwc I agree that it helps with thinking about using technology in different ways!

[Rachel Esancy @RachelEsancy]

@feltnerm @smwc A3: My education had little to no technology implemented in the classroom learning. An awareness of SAMR can improve lessons and teachings through technology. #SMWCED115

@LyricKrause08 @feltnerm @smwc I agree! Students can fall behind if educators don’t look at their individual needs and recreate lessons.

@sophieboyll @feltnerm @smwc IXL is great for a math app! Students are able to excel at their own pace. I do think that it is less interactive and engaging for students. The IXL app can be “boring” to some students.

@LyricKrause08 @feltnerm @smwc Regular recall testing can be very stressful! Having to pick out the correct multiple choice can be hard and students are more likely to just guess. Authentic assessments are great for seeing if students are actually containing and grasping the concepts!

@KatieTurley25 @feltnerm @smwc I agree that not having balance can affects so many things! Students need balance to thrive in and out of the classroom.

@nikkitibbs @feltnerm @smwc I agree that technology can enhance the learning experience! I have found that implementing technology into the classroom has made learning so much more fun and engaging !

@feltnerm @smwc A2: An issue that I see is not using the benefits that technology provides for learning and teaching. SAMR improves those issues by incorporating technology into students learning. SAMR makes new learning opportunities possible for students and teachers. #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc A:1 SAMR is important for educators when planning lessons that utilize technology because it provides the ability to use technology as a learning and teaching tool. It provides educators with technological alternatives to traditional teaching #SMWCED115 @feltnerm @smwc #SPRING22

@feltnerm @smwc A4: Dangers that can be found in lessons that do not offer effective differentiation is not allowing students to have their individual needs met. Students may fall behind if they are not learning a concept or being provided with tools they need to better grasp it. #SMWCED115

[Rachel Esancy @RachelEsancy]

@feltnerm @smwc A5: An app that could provide acceleration math activities for students is Khan Academy! Khan Academy is the best solution because it provides students the ability to accelerate at their speed of learning. Students are able to learn and excel at their individual pace. #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc Q6: Teachers should provide authentic assessments over the standard recall of information tests so students can use their creativity to show what they've learned as well as show their critical thinking skills. #SMWCED115

[Rachel Esancy @RachelEsancy]

@feltnerm @smwc Q7: Balance is so important because using technology in the classroom is such a growing learning tool. Implementing technology in the classroom has many advantages than previous generations. Ideas and information online have created more outlets to learning. #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc Q8:

[Rachel Esancy @RachelEsancy]

@feltnerm @smwc My biggest takeaway surrounding technology integration in education thus far is that are so many learning tools that can be used in and out of the classroom that are great alternatives to the traditional textbook and lecture teaching! #SMWCED115
