A2: One great technology resource I've found so far is Nearpod. It allows you to integrate open ended questions, quizzes, polls, etc, and I think it would really enhance lessons by making them more engaging and interactive for students. #educW200chat
@educcmpellan I completely agree with you. I think our students are using technology in their everyday lives and by bringing technology into the classroom it helps them become more engaged! #educW200chat
R1: I definitely think it's important to integrate technology into the classroom because our world uses technology everyday and it is important to understand the new tools that are created. It also makes things more fun, engaging, efficient, and overall, better

Thank you to everyone who participated in our twitter chat tonight. We greatly appreciate everyone sharing their ideas and knowledge with us! #INeLearn
R7 Try things. Don't be afraid to ask questions of veteran Ts and likewise don't be afraid to share your voice in a respectful way. Teaching is about sharing. We are all in this together. #INeLearn
@LCHS_Bio I feel as if I am mostly prepared because I am pursuing a computer educators license addition. I feel comfortable with exploring tech tools but I believe without taking these classes to learn how to incorporate tech tools I would not feel prepared #INeLearn
Ok I have a ? to ask of our preservice Ts. Do you feel prepared to integrate tech into a classroom? As a #DigitalImmigrant, I have no fear of busting out tech in my room. Yet, I feel that some #DigitalNatives don’t feel as comfy. Thoughts? #INeLearn
@T_Copple I think being fluid is so important and integration should never be forced. You want to be comfortable with whatever it is your are implementing. #INeLearn
R5 Providing PD for content creation, tools, etc. A tech integration rubric was tossed around a couple of years ago, but never implemented. At this point in our 1:1 journey, I think integration shouldn't be forced and should look more fluid. #INeLearn
@educhsbegle@shighley I like to plug @SkypeScientist any chance I get. You get connected to a scientist in whatever field and they are from all over the world.
R2: I was able to support a T who did an extensive research proj with 6th grade. Before it was over, they had connected with experts via skype, GHO, facetime and phone. Created presentations for community members. #INeLearn
@T_Copple I love how you mentioned fighting through the problems alongside your Ss. I believe that is so important and many teachers don't think about it in this way! #INeLearn
R4 STAY CALM. Glitches will absolutely happen. Failure will be a guarantee when you try something new. Fight through the problems alongside your Ss. Teach them to troubleshoot. Become BFF w/ your tech staff and have them teach you instead of just fix it. #INeLearn
R3: I want to give my Ss a project that would benefit the community, they construct and design in class using the tech we provide (3D printers, cad programs, video production), then sell it “shark tank” style. #INeLearn
R3: I often imagine the "perfect" learning setting with a variety of devices...laptops, chromebooks, ipads...all available, connected and ready to meet the needs of students in exploring and evidencing their learning. #inelearn
