A30 Awareness when lesson planning. The newest “tech toy” still needs to have a meaningful purpose--more than engagement, more than enhancement, but extend the potential for learning within the standards. #SBTechcoaches
A29 Played with all but Common Sense Edu had more than just software reviews. Digital citizenship and advice, as well as portals for parents, educators and advocates make it more multi-faceted go to site. #SBTechcoaches
A28 I use Guided Practice and Gradual Release most often when modeling technology into a lesson. Introduction of the technology usually includes a simpler task Ss can navigate through the software. Next visit will include a more meaningful content laden task. #SBTechcoaches
A27 Co-use strategies using tech creates opportunities to learn from peers, as well as adding an accountability component. Sharing ideas-creates more ideas, hopefully bouncing off strengths and weaknesses. #SBTechcoaches
A26 My most often used reflection tool is peer sharing. When Ss know they have an audience they are usually more productive and willing to create better quality work. #SBTechcoaches
A23: Unfortunately many are still trying to grasp technology tools, incorporating them in the Triple E is going to take time. Providing examples of successfully integrated lessons would be a great start. Next is being there to support them and help them reflect. #SBTechcoaches
A22: Case Study 2, 1st gr, Sun, Moon & Stars. Wow! I want to be in that class. The goal wasn’t just to learn about the Solar System, there was a real problem, therefore they had to become experts before they could create solutions. #SBTechcoaches
A21: I checked out the Blogs section. Seeing other teacher’s ideas that we similar to mine and authenticating their “score” lowered my anxiety level. I was fearful I hadn’t advanced further along the Triple E model. #SBTechcoaches
A19: Biome/Endangered species lesson; Ss create a Google Drawing/Piktochart fact poster, MyMaps of habitat, green screen video uploaded to FlipGrid connecting to their 1st grade reading buddies who then draw a picture of the animal and send it back via FlipGrid. #SBTechcoaches
