first year teacher here! building my classroom library & on the hunt for some good titles to include. for context: 6th grade ELA! #ELA #edutwitter #middleschool

@richkingsford Thanks! Yeah, I do wish we had a bit more time to experiment before implementing things as well

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

WU: My advice for new #edtech adopters is to try new tools in a variety of contexts because they might not work for one facet of education but work great in another. Also, if a tool doesn't work for you/your students, you don't have to use it! #tldeuno2022

@JDHonke @bethrevelo I love that!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@HurtzTracie Portable is such a good word for that

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@JDHonke Yes! Love that idea!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@alli_kalal13 True, it’s sometimes difficult to decide how much is too much explanation

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

A3: Schools can best prepare students to use #edtech by ensuring by clearly communicating what appropriate use of tech means. Also, it's important to communicate the purpose behind the platform to give it more depth. #tldeuno2022

@JDHonke edpuzzle is the best!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@HurtzTracie My district uses Classlink, I like it a lot

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@alli_kalal13 I love that idea!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

A2: Honestly, what I thought of was more curation of tools rather than just being given a list. It becomes overwhelming to just be thrown a bunch of tools. #tldeuno2022

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@HurtzTracie Same! Especially with the Twitter thing!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@JDHonke I looooove canva! Really helps me when I’m having a creative block!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

whoops! wrong hastag #tldeuno2022

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

A1: I recently found https://t.co/o1UbsNdKyb through social media. My ELA team would benefit from this becuase it keeps track of student reading progress. As a district that uses AR points, this would be helpful to see which grade levels students can read at. #tlde2022

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@HurtzTracie I didn’t realize NETA posted a list!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

@alli_kalal13 Yes! Love teachers on tiktok!

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

Hey! I'm Emily Foster, and I'm a first-year teacher. I teach 6th grade Reading & Language Arts. I find most of my #edtech resources on social media through other teachers! #tldeuno2022

[Emily Foster @teachingwfoster]

WU: There will always be new tools, so I am hoping that the future includes continual PD to help educators engage with the tools. #tlde2022
