Thanks to @athielen19 for taking the time today to speak to our players at St. Paul Harding and Humboldt! Your generous contribution and your words of encouragement and inspiration mean so much to these kids, this program, and this community. You're always welcome here at #HTown

Investigating @gimkit as a formative testing device. So far, liking what I'm seeing. Love the interactive game feature! @irvspanish

@rach_nader @tyLanasaurusrex Glad you mentioned access to edtech in your answer. This is so overlooked by some districts and teachers are left to compensate for the lack of access just to make things work for the students.

@tyLanasaurusrex A5: I feel confident in my ability to adapt to whatever edtech is being used in the district I get hired in. Mostly I'm looking for an inclusive, welcoming, and diverse environment. Hopefully, where leaders are decisive and lead by example 🤞 #pstpln #CI5307 @irvspanish

@tyLanasaurusrex A4: One person I think #ci5307 students should follow is @nelsonlflores. Flores writes a regular blog about philosophy & pedagogy of language learning that poses a lot of interesting points for teachers to consider! #PSTPLN @irvspanish

@tyLanasaurusrex A3: Tough question to answer. I think edtech needs to become more equitable at home first before it can be truly equitable in the classroom. Access to technology at home is an ongoing issue for students of low SES that will always complicate how we use edtech at school #ci5307

@tyLanasaurusrex @CAST_UDL A2 - Regardless of the platform or application used, I like giving students the option of responding in whatever medium they're most comfortable. Be it video, written reflection, mind mapping, social media, etc. Flexibility is key. #ci5307 ##PSTPLN

Hello! Current coach, former EFL teacher and digital marketer - I'm interested in how Twitter will look from a professional angle. Curious to learn more tips &tricks for how tech can be integrated into the classroom @irvspanish

@tyLanasaurusrex A1: Hi all! I'm Matt and I'm getting a single licensure in ESL. My experience with technology as a k-12 student nothing compared to today. We started off with overhead projectors & it was a big deal when smart boards became a thing. Crazy to think about now #ci5307 #PSTPLN
