A takeaway from a Ted Talk by @KeeganKorf on Social Media & Digital Citizenship is that online spaces allow us to create a digital image of ourselves. It's important to teach students to learn how to use it to empower & allow them to learn from mistakes. #IES451Chat @tsschmidty

One key takeaway from part 3 of Blended Learning in Action is that some ways of placing students into groups include by skill level/mastery, by interests/passions, by grit/motivation/drive, by student selected groups, or by strengths in a group setting @tsschmidty @Catlin_Tucker

One main concern of blended learning is a lack of engagement from the students. The students may not feel motivated, especially in the online sections. How can we increase motivation for blended learning? #IES451Chat #BlendedLearning @ChapmanU @tsschmidty

A key takeaway from Blended Learning in Action is that digital learning can foster personalized learning for students. The students are at the helm of navigating their own learning, not the teacher, which provides opportunities for unique rewards @tsschmidty @Catlin_Tucker

One of the challenges of assessing students in a blended learning environment is ensuring that all students are being held to the same standards and developing a universal means of grading #IES451Chat #BlendedLearning @tsschmidty @ChapmanU

From Blended Learning in Action, a few key takeaways: 1) teacher empathy is valuable 2) the genuineness and self awareness of a teacher is valuable 3) it's important to encourage critical thinking @tsschmidty @Catlin_Tucker #IES451Chat

Teachers are highly adaptable life long learners. And, teachers do a lot more with education than just teaching as well! #PBL, #designthinking #IES451Chat @tsschmidty @ajjuliani https://t.co/W77m7zE068

Teachers naturally use innovative solutions; we entered the profession for a reason: to help guide and educate students. Rigid curriculum can squander this innovative passion; teachers will innovate if given the chance #IES451Chat #PBL #DesignThinking @tsschmidty @spencerideas

Technology can be used to create more inclusive classrooms for those with special needs by individualizing learning, and using programs where each student can learn at their own pace. And, students can create projects that they enjoy and relate to #IES451Chat

Using @Flipgrid for English Language Learners allows the students to learn and to make mistakes at their own pace, free of judgment! And, they can demonstrate their progress to their family as well using the videos they create #IES451Chat #flipgrid4els @tsschmidty

One way to use technology in the classroom is through video projects! A great idea is to make a mock-newscast interview about a historical event. Students can get in groups, research, then stage and film an interview about the event. #IES451Chat

@HollyClarkEdu article "5 effective ways to build your school tribe" emphasizes the importance of building community in schools, and reminds us of "transforming the shared interest into a passionate goal and desire for change" @tsschmidty #IES451Chat

Check out this social media post I created using a template by @creativeedtech! A great way to utilize technology for research in the classroom; students can learn about a historical figure in a fun, practical way by creating a social media page for them! @tsschmidty #IES451Chat

[Emma Warmerdam @WarmerdamEmma]

Social media shouldn't be incorporated into the K-12 classroom; it can be distracting, a time suck, & students may not want to get involved with it. But in higher education, social media could be used to teach how to market oneself to employers. #IES451Chat @tsschmidty @ChapmanU
