@KatieShepley22 Yes! It is a great way to share ideas and collaborate with other educators.

@CSUF_EdTech I led one all about how Seesaw works and how it transformed my classroom. One of my colleagues then started using it and says it has been a game changer for her and her students. I love teachers helping other teachers. #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

@ElainaKatz Is there a format or expectation with the think tanks? #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

Q4: At my current school, I am so lucky to have weekly “Think Tank” meetings with my team. I have learned so much from my colleagues and I think more educators would benefit from having time for this type of collaboration. #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

@CSUF_EdTech We can basically bring any new knowledge or experiences to the table and share ideas. Teachers are able to volunteer to lead a think tank about any topic that they think would be helpful for others. #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

@Mzfostersd @cue Yes! Meaningful PD opportunities are so helpful.

Q4 Purposeful PD is the way to go. We just committed as a school to allowing #edtech #collaboration for our Monday team #PLCs also @CUE @ISTE2022 @Campengage there are virtual and live options for great collabs now. #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

Q3: I find that there are many #edtech platforms that allow me to easily differentiate instruction for my students. I use Seesaw daily, and am able to assign activities based on my students' learning needs and preferences. #edtechstudentchoice #csufedtech

@historyhistory4 @nearpod @Flipgrid My students love when we use @nearpod in class and I love how many amazing lessons they have available to use in various subject areas.

Q1: @nearpod @Flipgrid I also enjoy using some of the extensions available through Google suite. Anything that helps me to automate my role with recordkeeping or communication is a win! #Room4 #edtechstudentchoice

Q1: There are so many different technology platforms that I enjoy using with my second graders. My favorite this year has to be @Seesaw hands down! It has allowed my students to stay engaged in learning and demonstrate their understanding in many ways. #edtechstudentchoice

I am so excited to have completed my master’s program in educational technology!!! It has been an incredible journey, and I am so grateful for all of my amazing professors and peers. We did it!!! #csufedtech #k12edtech #wedidit #mastersdegree

Thank you @Seesaw and @loreamart for the great webinar this week. It was so helpful getting a chance to learn practical strategies for supporting #SEL. #edtech #Seesaw

Technology professional development has the potential to be extremely beneficial for teachers, but only if done right. This article from @educationweek offers ways to fix the flaws that exist when it comes to #techPD. #csufedtech #teacherpd edweek.org/leadership/how…

Are you ready to plan some technology PD? Don’t forget to think about the needs of the educators involved. This includes making sure that they have the tools needed for the PD. Also, give them time to experiment with those tools! #csufedtech #PURPOSEframework #techPD

Mentoring is a very valuable form of professional development. I have learned that it can help to provide teachers with the individualized training and support that they need. This can then lead to positive outcomes on student learning. #csufedtech #mentoring #effectivePD

Are you looking to present at an educational conference? When writing your conference proposal, make it clear how your presentation is valuable for other educators and be sure to include supporting research. #csufedtech #inspireothers #researchiskey

When it comes to initiating educational change or innovation adoption, planning is crucial! As a change agent, make sure you have a clear understanding of the change, think about the goals, and keep the expected outcomes in mind. #csufedtech #changeagent #planforsuccess

This article from @EdSurge highlights some of the benefits of #edtech and how it can be used to create incredible opportunities for students. The possibilities are endless! #CSUFedtech #digitalclassroom edsurge.com/news/2021-09-0…

Signed up for @edutopia and got access to amazing resources! You can get great teaching tips and information about many educational topics including tech integration. #CSUFedtech #educatorresources

Thanks @AppleEDU for the great session about plotting solutions using Numbers for iPad. I loved making this Find the Ship game. #edtech #EveryoneCanCreate

Also, I can’t wait to use what I learned in #EDEL522 to start incorporating podcasts in my classroom! #csufedtech

My biggest takeaway from #EDEL522 has to do with the importance of digital inclusion and accessibility. I am going to continue to work on making my digital creations as accessible as possible. #csufedtech

I have learned so much in #EDEL522 and love how I have become more comfortable using social media for educational purposes. #csufedtech @TitanPrezVirjee @csufcoe
