@CandiceStuart13 @sboggett333 This... as I read I keep wondering about these sort of situations... I suppose we could what if around in circles, and they did find access to tech in Uruguay, but it rings true after just being at a private school locally with only a barely functioning computer lab for 6 yrs!
A4: On p.71 authors mentioned working with parents, real-time communication,&willingness to engage with digital tools/social media...that had been a lingering Q of mine as I read, how do we catch parents up on the tech to keep them engaged/involved? #hpedeeplearning
@katebeckenham@andCreative The fastest hour ever! Phone ringing, good night to baby, tech not cooperating, tweeting, reading, writing, radio on... wah! Until next time!
@andCreative Yes! Trying my best to keep up, take advantage of every learning opportunity I can, collaborate with colleagues, learn from students, etc. It can be overwhelming at times, but oh so rewarding when it comes together and you see students flourish because of it.
A5: The Fusion graphic really helped me envision what all I was reading... @CandiceStuart13 it really is a mess, but a great one that will prove to be so beneficial to students and educators alike! #hpedeeplearning
@sboggett333 I feel ya! I have found having a colleague walk me through a program, show me concrete examples of how they use it, and troubleshoot how I could envision it helps sometimes. Thank goodness for sisters that are consultants at another school board! She's my tech tutor!
@TinnekeWilson I've heard/seen some of these apps in use. But even some of the programs or sites our students use, I wonder how comfortable the parents are with them or how we could catch them up to speed... My own mom always felt lost when we were kids with the limited tech we had back then!
@MrsEmilyJAdams I'm trying to play catch up now, after being at a school with verrrrrry little tech for the last 6 years. I am soaking in all this tech and excited to apply it to my own classroom one day. One of the benefits of being an OT, get to explore all kinds of new, creative ideas!
A3: It is important to intentionally support deep learning environments because they are the "third teacher" p. 78 the culture, physical, and virtual environment can make or break meaningful learning... #hpedeeplearning
@WendyGoodman@CandiceStuart13 @sboggett333 Instead of shying away when a student asks me a question that I don't know the answer to, I have always tried to encourage them to explore and find the answer, sometimes independently, other times together - what a difference that makes! #hpedeeplearning
@amcconnell81@CandiceStuart13@WendyGoodman @sboggett333 As soon as I saw your reply, I remember reading and highlighting "setting norms tat it is good to take risks as long as there is learning from failure." p. 70 - really resonated with me as something I need to remind students, and myself of sometimes! #hpedeeplearning
A2: Also, that collaborating with colleagues (p.69) allows us to effectively co-design deep learning... if we expect the kids to co-design, what better way than to model it with colleagues too! #hpedeeplearning
A2: I loved the part on p. 69 that co-design is mechanism for developing student-teacher relationships. It helps us really get to know a student, their needs, strengths, and aspirations #hpedeeplearning
