This video posted by Learning & the Brain shows cognitive learning theory in action with students activating prior knowledge while the teacher gives explicit objectives and guidelines for the activity. #6711SM4

[Learning & the Brain @learningandtheb]

Theories are fun read about, but it can be helpful to observe how various pedagogical ideas play out in the #classroom. This video demonstrates how activating prior knowledge can work in a #middleschool class. #pedagogy

In this scholarly resource, Parong and Mayer (2018) study how students performed based on VR (interest theory) or Multimedia presentation (cognitive theory). Cognitive theory prevails! #6711SM4 https://t.co/2AhOyN4GpY

I'm following Marishal to learn more about how she uses behaviorism in the classroom. We can use these strategies for all students, not just those with special needs. #6711SM3

[Marishal Stamps @ms_stamps1]

Behaviorism is my field of expertise. Having a Masters in psychology & minor in child & Family dev. I love kids so why not merge into Education & help kids learn no matter what disability or behavior challenges they face #klenkshines #Sped #TeamPASS

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

This article written by Cindy Nebel gives ways we can use behaviorism to address classroom management, such as teaching the consequences of phone use in class by providing incentive or loss of daily points. #6711SM3 https://t.co/QjFc1mxz9e

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

According to this peer-reviewed article by Feeney (2017), apps like "Ringorang" provide repetition and reward aligned with behaviorist learning theory. #6711SM3 https://t.co/2I1yenhSrW

Check out my latest blog post where I discuss my plans to use technology in the classroom this year, including blogs themselves, and reflect on how technology impacts students and teachers. https://t.co/QG0xWtZuYf #6710App8

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

I created a lesson to teach elementary students about the basics of using Twitter and Hashtags! Check it out here: https://t.co/7kzTfql5Gc #6710App5

I agree with Susie's first point, my school has 1:1 iPads and there was very little outside the classroom time given to use them ourselves! We have an iPad pledge that helps students remember iPads are a tool and not a toy. Check it out! https://t.co/W1SUjJeGlj #6710DB2 https://t.co/MwIW0jX6SZ

Mindsets about technology in the classroom must change in at least 2 ways. 1. Teachers need to have time to experiment with technology outside the classroom to become familiar with it. 2. Students must respect technology as an educational tool more than a gaming device #6710DB2

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

@MrsMcHugh_it That is very thoughtful! I think I also do this, espeically when I get so many great ideas during the summer! Hoewever, I think that many students are that way too! They learn by doing, sometimes diving in is a positive skill! Fearless! #6710DB2

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

I love teaching financial literacy! This year we did a whole budget spreadsheet in my math class where students learned how to use Excel - next year we will use budget templates! #6710DB2 https://t.co/D2Rt7o6vde

[Elaine Kelly Cabrera @ElaineKellyCab1]

The big shift I have is focusing on 21st-century skills. I need to prepare students not only for the next grade level but to become successful as adults in whatever avenue they choose. From technology to financial literacy, I can integrate all in my classroom. #6710DB2

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

@integratingtech I think I fixed it? Thanks!

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

A big shift in education I need to overcome is the influx of interim testing requirements from my school district. Weekly reading and math assessments can really add up to a lot of time away from important work! Any ideas to integrate technology and make this engaging? #6710DB2

[Sara Grimes @techy5thgrade]

Move from fixed to growth mindset when trying to bring change into the classroom. You can't do it, yet! Transform what you already have instead of inventing the wheel. Not everything is made better with technology, think critically and work toward student engagement. #6710DB2
