If you were giving an assignment to your students to create a website, would you want them to use a free resource like Weebly, or would you prefer google sites? I would definitely go with google. I think it is way easier to navigate and looks much cleaner. #IM42x

@LaurenH09242046 I have so many memories of funny teachers. I think it’s cool how they included that in this article. I feel like some may see it as unnecessary or unprofessional, but I think it improves the overall mood of the class as a whole! #IM42x

@jennaw3419 I’ve thought a lot about using podcasts as well. I didn’t have that option in school either, and I think it’s a really cool resource that a lot of students would enjoy! #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@jordyne_broich I would definitely use some of these strategies. Especially as someone who has never actually taught before, I feel like I would be open to trying different strategies to see what works for both me and my students. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

Do you students learn better when creating something digitally or by hand? Or does it depend on personal preference? #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

Here are some resources for students to create content digitally. I like how this one includes options for younger children who may not be able to operate the more complex ones. #IM42x https://t.co/1chzfs35rC

This site gives some good ideas on activities to develop lifetime skills. #IM42x https://t.co/Uyvu7gDBj2

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

Do you consider positive attitude a skill that students learn? We all know that that’s something that’s hard to maintain sometimes. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

Here’s some skills that are important for students to develop. They have creativity listed as the first one. Do you think this is the most important? Why or why not? #IM42x https://t.co/jWglvqNt7u

@taylorlind14 Good point! I always forget how impressionable kids are in their elementary years until I think back to how much I looked up to teachers and other adults when I was that age. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@heinonen_brynn @jordyne_broich I agree Brynn! I think there are definitely opportunities for teachers to help students develop new technological skills in high school and elementary, it’s just a matter of how complex the skills are and the different uses for the ones they’re learning. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@taylorlind14 I think communication is a big one! I don’t know if it’s considered most important, but it’s a lifetime skill that everyone needs. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@JuliaSt07366494 I’ve never heard of this one before. It looks pretty cool and useful! I’ve always enjoyed doing mind maps in school. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

What are the best teaching tools to use with younger aged elementary students? Do you feel that you need to use more teaching tools to keep younger students engaged? #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

Here is a link to the Osmo website: https://t.co/k5eyukdrBd

I have done a lot of exploring with it recently and I think it is a great learning tool for elementary classrooms! #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

There are so many tools that can be used for teaching. I think that technological resources are one of the best ways to reach students. Is there anyone that prefers not to use technology as much? #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@Elizabe17706898 @GanglMs I agree with Elizabeth! A bunch of those were new to me and I had not heard of them before. This is definitely a good list to expand the tools that we use in the classroom. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

@ameliatarr2 I think teachers should use it as long as it is benefitting their students. I do not think that there is anything wrong with it. I know that others like PowerPoint better, but it is personal preference. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

I am excited to get into a classroom again and observe some more classroom management styles! Every teacher has their own way of doing things, and I think I will benefit from seeing a variety of different styles. #IM42x

[Taylor M @taylorm2019]

My field experience that I had in a kindergarten classroom allowed me to see many ways that a teacher successfully manages their class. I have read some articles on classroom management, but seeing it in action was very helpful for me! #IM42x
