@edutopia Love, love!

"I feel it’s so important to talk about WHY we expect certain behaviors at school. I made the anchor chart and then we came together and brainstormed examples of when we are expected to be quiet vs talk," third-grade teacher Jenna Monty, who was inspired by @room213tpt, writes.

What’s better than Science PD?! Science PD with @SteveSpangler #BESTDAYEVER Thank you UWA and @BaldwinSchools for the opportunity to geek out for the day!

@CrazyPln A4. There are so many different ways to meet students where they are through technology. Technology opens up so many different opportunities for enrichment and support that adds to what a teacher is currently able to do as one single person. #CrazyPLN

Q4: It’s often said we should meet students where they are. How can implementation of a technology integration model help us do that … and also help them? #CrazyPLN

@CrazyPln A3. Currently, I think that I am mostly hover between modification and augmentation. I would LOVE to be in a steady state of redefinition. #CrazyPLN

Q3: The SAMR model presents a continuum of tech integration, from “substitution” to “redefining.” Where do you think your work currently fits? Where would you like to go? #CrazyPLN

@CrazyPln A2. After COVID and the requirement of at-home learning, we all realized the importance technology integration in the classroom. Technology makes the world-go-round and is something the students are comfortable with, so I think it is a great way to motivate students! #CrazyPLN

Q2: How has tech integration enhanced the engagement or learning process? #CrazyPLN

@CrazyPln A1. The first model I learned about through my district and eMINTS was the SAMR model. I have since learned more about TPACK and TIM. Lots of models, lots of overlap but definite differences between those I have been exposed to. #CrazyPLN

Q1: Does your school or district subscribe to a tech integration model? If so which one? #CrazyPLN

#BCBEFullSteamAhead #baldwinproud @strawbees @SocialMicrobits I know it seems simple but creating this friendbot was the highlight of my day! Can’t wait to see what my kids at school and at home think! Thanks to @Alliebcbe and @RasmusCarlsson8 for making this happen!

@Strawbees + @microbit_edu = Facebot!! Thank you @RasmusCarlsson8 and @Alliebcbe for making this happen!! #microbits #BCBEFullSTEAMAhead

Thank you so much @PSD_EReichert for bringing #Ozobot and math review to our math class today! 🥰 4th graders @PSDGrasse practiced using the order of operations and coding skills! #PennridgeProud @PennridgeSD

This is awesome!! Definitely trying this out on my next Jamboard #gafefsu

@kirkandre I wish I was close enough to go!! Let’s go Braves!!

Y’all going to the Battery or nah?

@nearpod @20thcentury Let your kids see you read an actual book or sit down, have conversations with people that don’t involve holding a phone in your hand, get out a deck of cards or play a bird game! Never EVER allow phones at the dinner table!

We’re teaming up with the @20thcentury Team to give two classrooms a set of #RonsGoneWrong movie tickets AND mini-movie posters! 🎉 How to enter: ➡️ Retweet this post ➡️ Comment below how you can model healthy device habits! Winners will be chosen on 11/05.

Any time is a good time for community building, right? My students enjoyed building with Legos while learning about true collaboration and how everyone needs to play a part! #legos #BCBEFullSTEAMAhead
