I believe we should be able to connect tools/technologies with the outdoors. Maybe create something during class, either individually, in groups or as a whole class, and test it outside. Thinking + working outside of the classroom is key for students to learn. #week6tech252

During my time in practicum, students were working on their coding game - a very basic coding game that allowed students to see what their imagination has created. Schools should be a haven for creative students, because those are the ones who influence the most #week6tech252

Although I am impressed with all these assistive technology, I want to know how teachers can help set restrictions so students are on task and not fooling around. For the AT iPad apps, I would like to see apps that gives teachers sufficient control. #week5tech252

I am very happy to know that assistive tech exists and makes school for students that struggle in class easier. I want to see how we can bridge both these technologies and students that are either ESL or ELL, as I think they can greatly benefit. #week5tech252

The Renaissance, The Impressionist, The Expressionist. These are all examples of what happens when people come together and collobarte their ideas. As humans, we are hardwired to be social and co-opoerative. We must allow students to share with others their ideas. #week4tech252

"Teachers have used technology to humanize the classrooms" - Sal Khan
This was a strong quote because it shows the importance of how teachers must be creative and use the tools they are given to make the classrooms more interactive, more fun, and great for learning #week4tech252

As educators, we must ensure our students are aware of the threats and lack of privacy of social media. #week3tech252

During my last prac., an officer came to talk about strangers online. When asked who had SC, about 85% raised their hands. It's alarming because students are easily manipulated & can easily be tricked by online predators, and it's our duty to teach them to be safe. #week3tech252

... It is important to learn the fundamentals of school, but it is equally important to learn how to live life, be happy, share, care for others, and ultimately be a good human being. This is something that comes when we are away from tech. 2/2 #week3tech252

I feel as though it's so easy for parents to turn on the iPad and have their kids watch it and "learn". Yeah sure, they'll learn their ABCs, but you want to be a parent. When I'm a father, I would love to dedicate my time with my kids to play & teach them ... 1/2 #week3tech252

@nicolea1995 Wow so passionate. You're a modern day poet.

[rickyvice17 @rickyvice17]

Although I am in complete with teachers being able to monitor what the students are doing while using technology - I do believe we should give students their privacy, in order to exercise that right under the Charter. #week2tech252

I believe that the global collaborator can be a very interesting tool in the future. If we can somehow connect with other students in the world, and have them teach us about their culture and way of life, students will enrich themselves on different world cultures #week2tech252

[rickyvice17 @rickyvice17]

I believe self-directed learning is a crucial tool in allowing students to feel proud of who they are. By having students ask themselves what their goals are or what they identify as, they become happy with themselves because they see their importance in the world. #week1tech252

A characteristic that many students feel they lose as they progress through their school years is creativity. The ability to use creativity as a medium is defined as adaptive expertise. How can teachers allow students to develop their creativity rather than shun it? #week1tech252

LeBron James is better at basketball than Messi is at soccer.
