@hspiels @OPStechtrainers I feel you, as a specialist it can be hard to seamlessly incorporate SEL

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A4: I have to admit, as a specialist, I don’t do a great job at this. I need to look for more opportunities to set goals with my students. #OTLProud

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A3: I keep my battery charged by leaving work at work as much as possible, spending quality time with my family, and reading! #OTLProud

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A2: At Columbian, we have a “rest & relax” station for students to go to when they need a minute. Rethink Ed is also a great tool to help students work though emotions. #OTLProud

A1: Hi all! My name is Rebekah Torres. I am a librarian at Columbian Elementary. I have participated in a few Twitter chats before. #OTLProud

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

oh man I've had that problem with Teams! #tldeuno2022

[Adam Vinter @Vinter10]

A7: In my former district, we used Google Classroom, and one of my early blunders with tech was learning the importance of “making a copy for each student” so that each student wasn’t collaborating on the same doc or slide. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

This reminds me of 2022 and as an elementary librarian, I had to go to the classrooms to teach. Every room seemed to have a different set up with different projectors and connections. Lots of learning on the fly. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

@Vinter10 I'm lucky, my school bought the the premium version. So many more features!

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A7: Too many times to count!! For sure switching from using Zoom all the time to having to use Teams with at home learning was interesting…you just have to take a deep breath and adapt. #tldeuno2022

I love Nearpod! #tldeuno2022

[MrsB601 @mrs_b601]

A6: nearpod… but I mix it up a lot! #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A6: Right now, I’m going to have to go with https://t.co/dbwi4WrA6P, it is a quiz platform with gaming added in. The kids love it and always want to play. It is a great way to practice terms. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A5: OPS has torn done some barriers to digital equality by going 1:1 with iPads and including internet. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

I use my phone for this one. #tldeuno2022

I can't figure out how to put the image in the tweet... :(

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

So what you're saying is that you know how to use technology in a way this generation never will. #tldeuno2022

[Carmen Anderson @Matildas_book]

I'm a rotary phone kind of gal. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

I’m learning!! #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A4: I use technology everyday with power points, some days with games, and some days in the computer lab. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

You mentioned this before and has been a huge take-away for me from this course. #tdleuno2022

[Adam Vinter @Vinter10]

A3: When considering technology, it’s most important to determine if it will enhance or improve learning. It might be worth skipping the tech if it's only a substitution. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A3: If it can be done with paper and pen, then that is what I use. If technology enhances the lesson, then I’ll use that. #tldeuno2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

Yes, reading the room and checking in with individual students is important. When a student is acting out, it is important to find the why behind the what. #tldeuno2022

[Andrew Nelson @andrewmilnelson]

I haven't used any tools yet to monitor social-emotional well being - as a practicum student I haven't had a lot of opportunity. have simply 'read the room' and have helped individuals out as needed. #TLDEUNO2022

[Rebekah Torres @rebekah7mt]

A2: Not a lot honestly. I use Go Noodle some times and Thumbs up check-ins but this is an area I want to be more aware of and let flow into all of my lessons #tldeuno2022
