@shari_a_morgan I am a visual learner as a creative at heart, and an art teacher! I am constantly incorporating videos and clips simply from YouTube in my SmartNotebooks for art vocabulary and techniques. @ScratchGarden is great for elementary levels!!!! Check it out! #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@Mgray0012 Ohh! SMARTlabs... I’ll need to look into this! I’m an only SMARTboard dominant classroom- with little to no access to iPads or chrome books. Thanks for the resource! #wuetd6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

As someone that doesn't have a lot of technology accessible for my classes, but knowing most of utilize SMARTboards, and I am inspired by Google Apps, what are you using? This could become a great list of potential resources for us all!

@CanfieldBlaise I’m definitely seeing a trend here! Teachers love Google Suite #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@kderitiswilmu I love the idea of using google slides!! And I agree, I think Google slides is an easy way to incorporate peer collaboration and technology.

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@CanfieldBlaise For me and the lack of technology I only get to utilize the Smart package you mentioned- but incorporating videos and different clips or resources seems to change it up for my students in art to get them engaged or activated for the lesson. Still checking out Jamboards #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@kderitiswilmu ... and Schoology! We are all currently learning this flipped classroom strategy. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@kderitiswilmu I think technology is the basis of creating a 'flipped classroom,' videos and tutorials are especially helpful in doing this. The fact that technology also allows for more choice based assignments, student engagement/interest directives, and differentiation. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@trhoran88 I immediately think of adapted learning, and ideally as an art teacher it could be used for advanced learners to move beyond the class/challenge. Videos and such can be utilized for struggling students(in the theory of my art room- and learning visual art techniques). #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@CanfieldBlaise Google Jamboards!? What is this??? Looks like I have something new to learn about. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@gbrazill26 I love how you mention social media to be implemented in the classroom. I can definitely see it being a positive thing for secondary students, but at the same time it would have to be highly controlled/monitored. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@SraRumpSpanish @Mgray0012 Way to jump in and be inspired! I hope your implementation is successful! #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@Mgray0012 And throw in pen pals with 'art exchange'!

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

As an art teacher it would be great to collaborate or share artwork with other students around the world. And with technology and the internet it is possible, here is two quick resources:

@yulievazquez I definitely feel I need to research and try my hand with AR apps! But the possibilities can be amazing with AR and the classroom- especially for children who have lack of prior knowledge, experience, or resources (as long as they can be provided via classroom/school). #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

After looking at the different infographics, and knowing my subject area, visual arts, I think most likely I would like to adopt adaptive learning or augmented reality. It is a toss up for me because I can see artistic benefits for both at the elementary level. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@LaurenBritting2 #gamification is definitely an emerging trend in education, and a positive tool! Some of IRSD's curriculum has been using this idea with things like Dreambox and iReady. Even the math curriculum Bridges, pushes for games- many of them aren't utilizing technology yet. #wuedt6020

[Samantha Walls @Swalls725]

@Mgray0012 @BrittanySantoni I always worry about incorporating Mobile Learning into the elementary level, but today I was reminded why I should not be. I babysat my 9 year old niece, and she has an iPhone. With outlets like Schoology, etc. it makes this possible. #wuedt6020

The emerging trend I will be researching for this course is Augmented Reality. #wuedt6020
