@EricaMu06634180 @Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi @Duncannedd I had no idea that some companies were offering discounts/ free wifi to students at this time. Thats awesome!

@Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi We can make technology assessable by distributing chrome books to students. A barrier we might face would be that not all students have internet access. However, some internet companies are offering free wifi due to the pandemic. #CSUBTEd @Duncannedd #CSUBEDTE4200

Thank you @benites_louis for the great question. #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi

@ZoeLindsey15 @teachsci8 @doctor2pi @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry Staying with the trend is by far one of the most difficult things to do in today's society.. considering how quickly it evolves.

@teachsci8 @doctor2pi @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry A4: I think one of the best things to do to increase engagement with technology no matter the grade level is to get with the times. As an auditory signal to transition/get attention, my favorite thing to do is to play an age appropriate, catchy TikTok song! #CSUBTEd @doctor2pi

Hi everyone! Let's keep the conversation going! Here is question #3. Special thanks to @all_is_number for this question. Don't forget to tag your professor and use the hashtag #CSUBTEd. @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry

@kortnyblaise @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @all_is_number @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry Use of engaging websites/softwares in special education sounds like a great use of the tech available!

@teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @all_is_number @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry A4) In teaching special education I plan to use go noodle and other interactive video activity for the students to do. Allowing them to use certain educational websites is also possible. Knowing their interests can help as well. #CSUBTEd #EDTE4200 @DrEddiesClass

@teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry In high school physics and IPS I will use technology related to the topic being taught in order to increase engagement. This could include things such as small, programmable robots, creating catapults, demonstrating chemistry principles, etc. @Duncannedd #CSUBTEd

@marisol_san01 @teachsci8 Mobile hotspot rollout has been crucial for many schools all over the united states. Something to consider is the homeless students who may not have something to charge a hotspot with!

@teachsci8 A3: To make internet more accessible I think they should provide more hotspots or areas where people can have internet access. As of now some big challenges are COVID and the expensive prices that Internet companies have which many people cannot afford.

Hola! Here is question #3. #csubedte4200

@LilianaEDUC @teachsci8 I definitely agree at this time that internet should be free. I would argue that phone coverage cost should, also be at the very least, reduced in price.

@MrsBlundenPE @MissAngieCruz @doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha Peardeck is an amazing resource to engage students! I highly recommend it!

@MissAngieCruz @doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha R1: My son has used peardeck in his elementary classes, and I really like the look of it! I might look at it and see how it differs from Nearpod in functionality. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@alexlozano33 @doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha I definitely think that flipgrid is a great resource for distance education, but i think that it has a lack of use when used in in-person class.

@doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha A1. If I had to choose 1 tech source in education right now without a doubt I would pick Flipgrid especially with class being virtual Flipgrid allows for a semi in person discussion, where you can actually see the person face and reactions which is amazing #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@NancyCa19862485 @tom_karnes @aavina33 @DrEddiesClass There are apparently a lot of programs for ELL students I have never heard of! I have never heard of Starfall, but will have to check it out!

@tom_karnes @aavina33 A2) A program I believe benefits English Language Learners is "Starfall". It is aimed towards English speakers and helping them with reading but it can be very beneficial for ESL learners as well. #CSUBTed @DrEddiesClass

Hey all. Here is tonight's question. Thank you @aavina33 for creating tonight's question. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTEd

@DodgeCyndee @tom_karnes @aavina33 I have never heard of Little Bird Talks, I definitely will have to check it out!

@tom_karnes @aavina33 I like Little Bird Talks even though I teach 5th grade. It allows students to create stories with pictures and drawings! All my students love it but it exceptionally fun and interesting for my ESL students! #Csubted #DrEddiesClass

@Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi We can increase community access to technology through public library outreach. For students, the districts have been doing an amazing job. A major barrier is lack of knowledge from parents on how to use technology and why it should be in the household. @Duncannedd #CSUBTEd

@tom_karnes @aavina33 There is a free app called DuoLingo that would be hugely beneficial to any ELL or any person wanting to learn a secondary language. Its an app specifically meant to teach a second language! @Duncannedd #csubted

@doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha Tech can be used in a class, such as peardeck, youtube, or even music, to build a relationship with the students that goes beyond a staring at a computer and having information read to you. Engaging the students on a SEL level is crucial in this environment! @Duncannedd #CSUBTEd

@Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @doctor2pi @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @teachsci8 @Tech_Buddha Hi my name is Kenneth Dollar, I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering from NMT and am a first year science teacher at RHS. This is my first year at CSUB but have lived in Bakersfield my entire life 😀 @Duncannedd #CSUBTEd
