Virtual field trips are a cost-effective way for teachers to expose students to new places and experiences around the world! Virtual field trips encourage students to learn new things and ask more questions about the world around them! #EDUC387 #virtualfieldtrip #GoogleEarth

@ElleAnderson_9 Hi Elle! I totally agree with your post. Virtual field trips are great ways to get kids excited about learning, while also being free. I definitely plan on using this resource in my future classroom.

Virtual field trips are a great way to make learning fun for students. They include all of the fun and excitement from normal field trips, without the extra stress and money. Check out the one I created using Google Earth. #EDUC387 #virtual #edtech earth.google.com/earth/d/1DLO3C…

This week I discovered that assistive technology (AT) supports students in their learning journey, making it more accessible, especially for students with disabilities. #AT #AssistedTechnology #EDUC387

This week in our class we researched assistive technology. This refers to devices that are designed to help increase ones ability to complete a task that they struggle with due to a disability. Assistive technology can also be referred to as AT for short. #AT #edtech #EDUC387

This week we made micro lessons for a flipped classroom! This was a super fun experience that will be useful in the future!!#weather #knowtheweather #educ387

This week, we focused on creating our own personal microlesson using what we have learned about a flipped classroom environment. I really enjoyed this experience and plan to use what I have learned in the future! #flippedclassroom #flip #edtech #EDUC387

In a #flippedclassroom students have more responsibility to teach themselves content outside of class so that during class there will be time for questions and collaboration. #edtech #EDUC387

This week, I learned about flipped classrooms. I really like the idea of a flipped classroom, because it allows students to work at their own pace and receive more support from their teachers and fellow peers. I would definitely try this model. #flippedclass #edtech #EDUC387

I enjoyed trying out #Scratch today! There were many tutorials available to learn about different aspects of the program. Super easy and could be fun for students to learn the foundations of coding! #educ387 #Coders

This week my class worked with the program Scratch to develop new coding skills. This program is great for students learning the basics of coding! Check out the fun dance party that I created using Scratch here : scratch.mit.edu/projects/91521… #EDUC387 #scratch #coders

Today I spent some time exploring code.org/educate/curric…. This website had a variety of fun activities to help teach students about coding and programming. Computer science is beneficial to all age groups, even elementary schoolers! #EDUC387 #coding #edtech

I spent some time exploring Hour of Code and found it to be a great way to learn the basics of computer science. There were super easy to follow along with tutorials provided for a personalized experience! Try it yourself at: hourofcode.com/us/learn #educ387 #hourofcode #edtech

This week I learned about the website Popplet. Using Popplet I created an example concept map about the american revolution and the causes and effects. Popplet can be used as a thinking tool for a classroom. @poppletapp #EDUC387 #Americanrevolution

Concept mapping is a great activity for students to use in the classroom. It helps them to organize their thoughts in a fun and creative way. Take a look at my digital concept map made below using @poppletapp. #Wonder #literature #CCSS #EDUC387

The debate of AI in the classroom is a difficult one. There are many benefits to technology, however there are also a lot of concerns that come with it. I think that using programs such as ChatGPT in the classroom is good as long as it is in moderation. #AI #ChatGPT #EDUC387

Digital citizenship is something that is so important for us teachers to talk about in the classroom. In short, it is how we behave and respond online. We want to ensure our students know how to act responsibly and safely with everything they post online. #EDUC387010 #digcit

After completing our digital footprints and displaying them- students are realizing what a large impact our school has on the online community! What does your digital footprint say about you!? #DigitalCitizenship @BCPSLMP @ColgateES #bcpslms

Digital citizenship is not only about using technology responsibly, it is also about respecting other's digital rights and privacy. Let's educate our students to be ethical, empathetic, and respectful digital citizens. #digcit #digitalcitizens #digitalcitizenship #EDUC387010
