#EDUC331 This week I got to engage with the EdTT @icivics and all the awesome history and social studies driven games they offer to students! I cannot wait to utilize this in my classroom so my students can engage with material in a fun, low-stakes way!
Along with that, I also use my screentime for school work (usually canvas, word, google docs, google..etc.). I am not sure how I can limit that, besides setting times for me to take a break and do something not screen related.
#EDUC331#PBL My screen-time, on average is pretty high. I tend to use it to decompress from work and my school day, which lends to me having a lot of time on apps like Tik-Tok and snapchat. My goals are to slowly decrease that use and pick up a book or my crocheting instead!
There is a line. Technology becomes a hinderance when we are no longer able to do our work successfully and efficiently, and when technology interrupts that work we are doing.
Q2: Set clear cut boundaries of what we consider to be "educational" and "personal" use. Ex: educational use would be like using our PLN's, and personal use would be tweeting on our own personal accounts
#pstpln#EDUC331 One of the ways I find works best for moderating my screen usage is setting time limits on apps such as instagram, tiktok...etc. so I HAVE to get off after a certain amount of time!
@WPeters_ I'm currently in a Pacific Wars Class...and I'm finding the political and military history of the Philippines war and WWII in the Pacific to be VERY interesting. There's a lot we don't learn about that portion of our history! #EDUC331#pstpln
Hi there! My name is Tessa Warren and I'm a History Major w/ a concentration in Social Studies Teaching. I love U.S History, particularly war eras. I am hoping to gain a better understanding of what a PLN is and how I can successfully use it as a future educator! #EDUC331#pstpln
Here's my last #FF @educatordeb is an educator I found early on in this #pstpln 5 day challenge. She is bringing light to climate and social injustice everywhere, while also incorporating valuable perspectives from all different groups of people. #EDUC331
Here's a #FF from my own #EDUC331 class! @delaneybsimcox is such a creative, kind and caring individual who always finds innovative ways to approach different situations! I know she will be an amazing educator after she graduates! #pstpln
#FF#pstpln#EDUC331 @oceanteacherD is another educator I'd love to add to my Follow Friday! Her account is full of encouragement and helpful resources for tough situations educators may run into within their own classrooms.
Another #FF#pstpln#EDUC331@MrAleoSays also has some amazing resources for history and social studies teachers out there! The assignments himself and his students craft are creative and extremely helpful for those of us who are starting to step into teaching!
For this follow friday, I am highly suggesting everyone follow @scottmpetri . He has amazing resources for social studies teachers, especially those of us that are just starting out! Thanks for all the work you do Scott! #EDUC331#pstpln#FF
@CHitch94#engsschat I haven't had experience putting this into practice so I greatly appreciate your response! I love the idea of backward planning to find the skills and content knowledge first.
A3 French Revolution screencasts where students could do an #IgniteTalk or a #sketchnote as long as it was entertaining to a teenage audience. https://t.co/ouOryLQ4vz Peer Review. Interesting or Boring. I didn't have to grade. #winning#engsschat
@Steph_Sukow assignments is also important, since everyone learns and approaches things differently. While I wouldn't allow this 100% of the time, I believe it is important to keep it as an option in the classroom for those students that need it!
@Steph_Sukow A3: #engsschat Students having their own voice in a classroom is incredibly important. They should be able to speak their mind on current issues, but not on everything that happens in the classroom. At the same time, differentiation in how we allow students to approach their
