@KelcieSundberg I love this! I teach at the middle level and my students are starting to have their own opinions and experiences. I want to give them opportunity to use their voice and learn how to have a productive conversation.

Ed Tech will continue to grow and improve in the future. I look forward to discovering new tools and resources that will enhance the learning of my students. #tldeuno2020

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@lmermaid33 Totally agree. It's easy to get wrapped up in the tool and not reflect on how it is benefiting the kids or the lesson itself.

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@alli_lorensen It's so great!! Highly recommend!

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

A2: It's hard to pick just one! But my favorite would be Quizizz because of the versatility. Features include: Practice flashcards/quizzes, live games, homework assignments and reports on student achievement. Plus, the kids enjoy it! #tldeuno2020

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

A3: Teachers should consider if implementing a tool would enhance a lesson/activity instead of using it just to use it. We also need to be aware of what tools are approved by our districts as to follow COPPA and other fed laws. #tldeuno2020

@ChelsiJanicek It's a must have in my eyes!

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@lmermaid33 YES!!

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@ChelsiJanicek It is so important for students to receive feedback!

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

A1: Ed Tech gives my students an opportunity to have fun with their learning while also allowing me to provide feedback easily. Ed tech tools are engaging and promote collaboration among learners. I love using online tools in my classroom! #tldeuno2020

@TimCawthorn Thanks!

@miller_in_3rd What school?

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

I'm Sidney Garrison & I teach World Language at Elkhorn Ridge Middle School. I'm pretty experienced w/ technology in the classroom. All my students have chromebooks that we use on a daily basis. My favorite tools to use are Quizizz, Kahoot, Google Forms, & Flipgrid. #tldeuno2020

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@MadameMaupin It's such a great way to encourage students to use the language! Plus they have so much fun with it!

Since our classes are remote this summer, it's nice to still be able to interact with fellow classmates. Twitter is a fun and FULL of information for educators! #tldeuno2020

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

@JulieBakerUNO Yes, and it also gives students an opportunity to reflect upon their learning that day!

[Sidney Garrison @SGarrisonNassi]

A3: A favorite educational hashtag of mine is #formativeassessment because it is something I work on implementing into my lessons daily. I'm always searching for new and engaging ways to check for my students' understanding. #tldeuno2020

@ChelsiJanicek YES!!!
