I am slowly beginning to realize how beneficial it is to have Twitter as an educator. Resources are shared quickly and things like Twitter slow chats are always a great tool to use to connect with other educators. #CI5307

@MindShiftKQED @Catlin_Tucker What are some strategies that teachers can use in order to give the students more freedom, but also be able to keep them on task?

In my #ci5307 we are learning about computational thinking, so this video came up in my feed at the perfect time! It was exciting learning about new CT facts since I am not familiar with this topic.

Fist-fighting or delivering the mother of all talks on computational thinking?! 😁

It was very exciting to learn about the technology standards for elementary school during my student outcomes unit in my #ci5307 class. It was interesting comparing these standards to my own elementary school experience.

Enjoyed learning about the TPACK framework for effective technology integration in the classroom. I will definitely be using it in my future classroom! #ci5307

Different types of software were definitely something I needed to look into for my future classroom. Thank you #CI5307 for allowing me to explore a bunch of software resources!

@DrazinMatthew A5: I am a junior from UMN. When I enter the job market, the main thing I want to look for is diversity in the school. With that, I also would want there to be a sense of community and inclusiveness. #PSTPLN #ci5307

@DrazinMatthew A4: I am a junior from UMN. I really love getting ideas from Pinterest! I use it for classroom decor ideas, lessons, activities/games, and much more. #PSTPLN #ci5307

@DrazinMatthew A3: I am a junior at the UMN. Problem-solving is used every day in K-12 education. With each day being different, problem-solving is important so that teachers are able to fix issues on the fly. This concept is something I plan to apply in my future classroom #PSTPLN #ci5307

@DrazinMatthew A2: I am a junior at UMN. One way to intentionally grow your professional learning network is to not only follow other educators but also interact with them either online or offline (if possible). #PSTPLN #ci5307

@DrazinMatthew A1: I am a junior at the UMN. To meet the learning needs of all students it is important to use different methods like powerpoints, videos, or hands-on activities when teaching lessons. This would help ensure that all learners are considered. #PSTPLN #ci5307

Loved exploring different types of hardware for my #ci5307 class. I chose to have an iPad, SMART Board, and Document Viewer for my three hardware choices in my classroom.

Had a lot of fun creating my newsletter for my #ci5307 class! It was interesting to see all of the tools in the Canva website.
