Q5: I believe every classroom should incorporate #digcit in some way because of how fast it is rising in education today. The sooner young children learn about the technology world, the better the technology world will become! #PSTPLN #EDUC331

Q4: This article integrates #digcit because it discusses just how much a "touchscreen" has had an impact on early childhood education. Webroot tells of how flash drives and certain apps have been added to many back-to-school lists! 😮 #PSTPLN #EDUC331 webroot.com/au/en/resource…

Q3: I can embed #digcit into a lesson by showing my students my own footprint! I think also showing them in class how to find out if a website is safe or not is a good tool to have for their future use with technology. #PSTPLN #EDUC331

Q2: Here are two resources to help teach the future generation all about #digcit ! #PSTPLN #EDUC331 thetechedvocate.org/5-ways-to-teac… bookwidgets.com/blog/2018/07/t…

Q1: #digcit is when one uses technology to engage with different aspects of society and education in the appropriate way. This is important in our day & age because technology encompasses almost everything and it is a useful tool to have professionally as well. #PSTPLN #EDUC331

Hey #EDUC331 and @Bigler_Michelle! I found two great accounts on twitter that are good resources for digital footprints: twitter.com/EpicosityAgency twitter.com/tbrbignite #PSTPLN

My question for my #EDUC331 class and #PSTPLN is what do you do to unwind after a hard day at "the office" a.k.a. the classroom?

@BachrachHannah @Bigler_Michelle While I am not a kindergarten teacher, my advice would be to stay patient! As teachers, it takes a lot of patience to do our job in general which is something you all should be praised for. 👏 #EDUC331 #PSTPNL @Bigler_Michelle

Hi all! What is some of the best advice that you would give first time kindergarten teachers? #PSTPLN #EDUC331 @Bigler_Michelle

@Bigler_Michelle @StanhopeKellyn @McaninchAnnie @krross24 @BakerKass #pstpln

Here are 5 people that I would suggest following: @Bigler_Michelle @StanhopeKellyn @McaninchAnnie @krross24 @BakerKass They are all so passionate about education and have some great resources to share!🥰

@AshleighZamarr2 Hi Ashleigh! It’s crazy to think that this is a controversial issue because I learned cursive at such a young age!! Thanks for sharing, loved the read.

Good evening #pstpln community! An article I would like to share with you all explains the benefits of children learning cursive early on. Hope you enjoy! Link: auburnpub.com/lifestyles/bau…

@RubyMeade3 I loved that I learned a new word by reading this (Edutopia) and can incorporate in my future classroom!

Hi everyone! I thought I'd share a website that provides tools and resources to improve kindergarten through twelfth-grade learning! #pstpln edutopia.org/about

facebook.com/csuhdfs/videos… I am sharing a video that celebrates the 90th year of the CSU Early Childhood Center... The #pln says it all. ❤️ #pstpln #csu #ecc

(For Wednesday) Today at 8:00 p.m. I will joining my first education chat #games4ed !! Very excited to learn of games to incorporate in the classroom #pstpln

My question for the #pstpln today is: What made you first realize you wanted to become a teacher and how have you incorporated this into your own teaching today?

@BachrachHannah This was priceless! Love that we both saw it. #pstpln

Today I observed a teacher and an infant on the floor and the infant was laying on his back and the teacher held his hands and lifting his back off the floor and greeted him with a smile and "hi!", and the infant cooed and smiled back. #celebratemonday #PSTPLN

During my observation of infants today, the caregiver put two babies on the floor on their tummies facing each other. They layed their in awe of each other for almost 3 minutes... If only we had that much focus!😜 #celebratemonday #pstpln

Hi #pstpln ! My name is Payton Atkins and I am a student in the Early Childhood Education program at CSU. I want to gain from this challenge more experience when it comes to professionally posting rather than just socially posting.
