#MolloySEL - hey class 5900 16-the lesson that has made an impact so far is the lesson on self management. The Signature Practices Playbook had some interesting ideas. My Kindergarteners need a lot of assistance managing their school days. I will try the ‘interactive do-now’

This science teacher found the key to getting her middle schoolers to share their ideas and questions as they explore: a Scientists Circle! 🤩🔬

@MrsJessicaRyan Using Epic! has impacted my students by showing them there IS material for their level, for their favorite topics. It has helped them also tap into new interests bec they can search for new things to read independently.

Q2: How has this collaboration tool impacted thinking? #MCtechsavvy2

@MrsJessicaRyan I hope to acquire some tech tools that can be easily incorp. into my Kdg. classroom. With 20+students and NO aide, simple and easy is key. My students are excited to use devices so I know that when using them effectively and creatively, I can differentiate and they will soar.

Q5: What do you hope to get out of this online course? #MCtechsavvy2

@MrsJessicaRyan Ideal tech classroom-Incorp different types (iPads, Smartboard, Osmo) for different skills (phonemic awareness, rhyming, sight words) in rotating centers. Math tech centers-rotating activities w/topics covered for review and to build upon (iPads, Smartboard, Coding games)

Q3: In your ideal classroom, how would you describe the technology? #MCtechsavvy2

@MrsJessicaRyan Tech enhances PBL by keeping them engaged during the process, and motivated to keep going by looking for new material to share with their peers.

Q4: How does technology enhance project-based learning? #MCtechsavvy2

@MrsJessicaRyan I have successfully used Epic! with my students & Google Drive with my colleagues. In Epic! I love creating collections for my students that tie into the topics we are studying in all the subject areas. In Google Drive we share many resources that helps the pacing of our units.

Hey All! I really liked creating this slideshow on PowToon. I may try it for BTS Night in September! powtoon.com/html5-studio/#… #MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan

#MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan I have seen technology enhance lessons in the past 3 years. Kids are very eager to use devices. It keeps them motivated, & it reaches all learners. I can differentiate lessons to allow them to navigate at their own pace.

#MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan Building a positive classroom culture can begin the first day of school with some 'get to know you' questions. Students can record their responses to be played in a culminating class slideshow!

#MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan When integrating technology into activities, meaningful interactions between students & teachers should be the driving force. Student motivation & engagement will promote learning & independent thinking.

#MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan I believe technology can impact the learning process very positively for the Kindergarteners I teach. They're very engaged & they're learning without realizing they are!

#MCtechsavvy @MrsJessicaRyan I have used technology less this past school year actually. The students used ipads more during 'pandemic teaching'. Since we're back in person, we've been more traditional.
