A little summer reading. #LastWeekTonight #marlonbundo #brothers #summerreading

@KOOAKkustoms @feltnerm @smwc Absolutely! I believe it’s a good idea to remind our students of their actions when using technology. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc I think this largely depends on the age of the class. I teach 6th and 8th, and they are completely fluent with technology, but I do think they need a constant reminder of the permanence of their online actions. #smwced115 @smwc

Q3: What should teachers teach prior to allowing students to use technology with guidance during instruction or freely in the classroom? Don't forget A3 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@sarahrosedugga @feltnerm @smwc I agree! Our teachers need to know what technology to use and how. We don’t have time in our curriculum to use technology as a babysitter. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc Q4: I believe teachers need to be trained on how to integrate technology into their lessons the right way and a way to keep students interest in the subject. This way they aren’t using it as a baby sitter! #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q4: How should schools overall prepare teachers when they adopt 1:1 devices? What do teachers need to be successful in using tech with a purpose (not a time sitter) Don't forget A4 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@BabyBirdMeg33 @feltnerm @smwc Open lines of communication is #1 in building a solid foundation for the school year with parents/guardians. How are you planning on keeping communication going throughout the year? I’m considering @RemindHQ app, notes in folders & possible website. @smwc #SMWCED115

Q5: What should teachers do for or with parents as they begin to immerse their students into blended learning environments? Don't forget A5 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@sarahrosedugga @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc Those are both great resources. I like the ability to customize a game with @playfactile it’s great for upper elementary. And @PBSKIDS is a constant in both our house for our boys and at school in the primary grades. @smwc #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc Q6: playfactile.com for review in social studies or math. pbskids.org for review or help with math or reading. Has many great games! #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q6: Provide at least two of the possibilities for proper technology integration. Name tool and purpose. Use Education Terms! (Ex - Differentiation for Math Review using @IXLLearning) Don't forget A6 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I’m interested in Google Classroom. I’ve never used it. I need to look into this resource. @smwc #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc I would use Google Classroom. I am more familiar with it. It would also be a benefit for myself because I can connect with students, share our ideas and complete tasks together. It is also a great organizational tool. #smwced115@ smwc

Q7: If you could use a technology integration framework of your choice, what would it be and why? Don't forget A7 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I absolutely agree. I love both resources! There is so much to offer and it’s nice finding free resources as well. @smwc #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc A8: I love Pinterest and TeachersPayTeachers. Both have wonderful resources, units, lesson plans, learning tools and ideas. These resources are either free or available at a low cost. #smwced115 @ smwc

Q8: If you were only allowed one app or online resource, what would it be? Why? Defend Yourself and Convince me! Don't forget A8 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A8: I would have to pick @Pinterest. It has ideas, resources and tools to help teachers. I like the accessibility of the app and its ability to send you to the specific website/location for the information. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A7: I like the way the TPACK method is designed. I feel that I can integrate it with any content successfully and help give my students a good balance of information. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc A6: I’d like to use @CueThink (pedagogy focused on improving critical thinking & math collaboration for students) @GooseChaseEDU (authentic field-based activities to gather knowledge & make connections between the classroom & world) #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A5: Communication is key. You need to keep parents informed by using technology and sending information home. You also need to reassure them that it is a constant learning process for everyone. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A4: Teachers need training & workshops on the devices to help with any issues students may run into. It would also be nice to meet with teachers on a regular basis when there are updates to the devices. Teachers also need to know how to access browser history. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A3: We need to teach our students about digital citizenship. Our students need specific guidelines to help make their time using technology in the classroom as useful as possible. Setting standards for them to follow is a great tool. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A1: I’m all for integrating technology into the classroom. We have so many resources we can access with technology that can possibly spark our students interest. As a bonus we as teachers can learn from our students. #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q1: What was your initial reaction to the idea of integrating technology in the classroom? Don't forget A1 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A2: Finding a balance with using technology. I don’t want to rely too much on it or not use the resource enough. #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q2: What concerns do you have regarding technology in the classroom? Don't forget A2 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc
