I'm a high school math teacher. I love rock climbing, volleyball, and video games!

I think the best advice I can give to people trying to integrate technology into their classroom is TRY IT! Give everything at least one try! If it works, great, if not, you now know that tool doesn't work for you!

My school has us go over some technology uses in the classroom about once a week in homeroom. I think it works really well and is a good use of homeroom time as well.

I would like my district to maybe send our a weekly email or reminder that could give us a new tech tool to try with a summary/tutorial. I think that could really help teachers integrate technology into the classroom.

I plan to share Blooket. It is an interactive game that my kids love and is very engaging! It can really help gamify your classroom!

I think it is more important now than ever that teachers include tech tools into their classrooms. With the changing environment in schools, kids can learn more through computers than ever before!

@missgoaley This is something I often overlook! It definitely saves time in the long run! I usually just let them jump in headfirst, but they don’t usually get the hang of the tool until the third or so time when I do that!

[Seth Nickolaison @SNickolaison]

Some things teachers should consider when using a tech tool are the age group the tech tool should be used for, the privacy of it, and how impactful it can be. I think its best to try everything out at least once!

@SydneyZerzan I need to look into this one! I think I’m going to do my infographic on it! Are there any super cool features it offers that you know of that I should be aware of?

[Seth Nickolaison @SNickolaison]

I love blooket! I use it all the time in my classroom! It is a web based game that is competitive and can help students get repetition and even learn new concepts. My high school kids love the competitive aspect of it!

@missgoaley It’s interesting that you mention that YOU as the teacher need to teach them to use the tech tools, not just use them yourself. I definitely agree, but it was a unique point I didn’t consider!

Technology education means using technology in the classroom whenever possible when it can enhance teaching. Teachers should get out of their comfort zones and try to use new technologies that benefit kids!

I have created a student friendly version of the retrieval practice ideas of @KateJones_teach, @teacherhead and @olicav and the deliberate practice model of @deansforimpact. This will be use to structure RP as an independent study task. Please RT if you would like a copy.

On a scale of 1-10 of how comfortable I am integrating technology into my classroom, I'd say I'm around a 7 or 8

@KelsySherwood I think I’m kind of on the same pathway right now. I think I’ll try to integrate it into my classroom just a bit if I can though!

[Seth Nickolaison @SNickolaison]

@LudlumClaire @MsLewis37427418 @SydneyZerzan This is also one of the ones I just started following too! They definitely seem like they have lots of useful resources!

[Seth Nickolaison @SNickolaison]

Wrap up
I think it can be a really helpful resource to utilize. I have yet to use it in my professional career, but look forward to trying it in this class!

Again, I looked up educational things to follow on twitter and this was one of the top ones. I also think being able to use creative things in the classroom would be nice!

[Seth Nickolaison @SNickolaison]

@MiZ_JS_ @MrWennstedt I totally agree! I never used it except for social purposes!
