@Melissa66032046 @feltnerm @smwc That is a great correlation and also way to hold students accountable. I have never thought of it that way. SMWCED115 @smwc

@LeighHinkle @feltnerm @smwc Totally agree!! Technology should be a privilege and not the only option for doing work. If they can’t use technology safety and correctly...they should have to do it the old fashion way! iPad=textbook book, iPad typing = pencil paper!

Q3: What should teachers teach prior to allowing students to use technology with guidance during instruction or freely in the classroom? Don't forget A3 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@LindaCo72934906 @smwc I have looked at the framework and struggle with understanding it. The terms and overlap and implementation were really hard for me to put to into practice or come up with a classroom example. Do you have an example of how you used it? SMWCED115 @smwc

Reply to A7 I chose the TPack framework where it overlaps pedagogy, knowledge of content and technology together. SMWCED115 @smwc

@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc Oh yes, that is the constant struggle here. I have a tendency to make things more complicated than what they are too. #SMWCED115

Q7: If you could use a technology integration framework of your choice, what would it be and why? Don't forget A7 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@Jacquel071176 @feltnerm @smwc I agree. I struggle with technology too. What apps or technology integration tools do you like or find useful? I like to have a few “go to” apps or sites. #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc A1 I think integrating technology in the classroom is a fantastic idea. I’ll admit though, that I am technologically challenged. I’m getting a little better, but it can be intimidating at times. #SMWCED115

Q1: What was your initial reaction to the idea of integrating technology in the classroom? Don't forget A1 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc I like the idea of examples. What one teacher may deem inappropriate or a violation another teacher may think that it is ok. Great idea!#SMWCED115

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc Perfect, those are the grades that I am hoping to teach once I am licensed. Thank you #SMWCED115 @smwc

@LeighHinkle @feltnerm @smwc I would use it for 5th grade and up. The 4th grade could probably be okay with using it but I think I would just introduce it to 4th grade as a fun project.

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc The first two methods are really just swapping and the last two move you to really integrate technology. I really like it because it makes sense in my very small, technologically challenged brain. It doesn't have to be big changes either which I really like.#SMWCED115 @smwc

@LeighHinkle @feltnerm @smwc I haven't heard of SAMR before. I watched a youtube video on it. This looks very interesting and students would love this.

@AtalieKlumpp @feltnerm @smwc Yes, it is that struggle to give them the freedom but also know that some aren't able to make good choices when given that freedom. I don't want my teaching job to be constant policing but at the same time, we have to hold our students accountable.#SMWCED115

@LeighHinkle @feltnerm @smwc I agree! It is so difficult to monitor what students are doing at any given time, especially when there are 25 of them and only one of you! Teachers should be informed of ways to hold students accountable for their tech usage. @smwc #SMWCED115

Q4: How should schools overall prepare teachers when they adopt 1:1 devices? What do teachers need to be successful in using tech with a purpose (not a time sitter) Don't forget A4 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@BabyBirdMeg33 @ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc Yep, I think you will love it when it works. We struggle sometimes with it. Our students actually use it to record their lunch count and we watch Scholastic News on it. #SMWCED115

Q6: Provide at least two of the possibilities for proper technology integration. Name tool and purpose. Use Education Terms! (Ex - Differentiation for Math Review using @IXLLearning) Don't forget A6 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc Yes, that is what I was thinking too or even a group chat with teachers and meet every other month. I know how busy the schedules get and how time flies.

@StephenieWeaver @BabyBirdMeg33 @ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc Thanks for app recommendations. Class DOJO sounds perfect for what I will be teaching.

@BabyBirdMeg33 @ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc Here are a few apps to look into: Class DOJO, Top Noisy, and Classroom Timer. Class DOJO I know most about. You can use it to put your students into groups, and there is a reward system on the app. I have looked into the other ones and I will use them for my class.

@BabyBirdMeg33 @feltnerm @smwc I have the same concern. I worry that a tool may be too easy or not have teaching outcome that I had hoped for when planning it into the curriculum. #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q2: What concerns do you have regarding technology in the classroom? Don't forget A2 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@Amanda51201528 @feltnerm @smwc I just laughed out loud because we have a "fingers crossed" approach in our school too. It goes in and out daily and it is often hard to plan if you are going to use the internet. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A1: My reaction was "Oh boy I hope it works." Technology can be a bit of a hassle when it decides not to work when its supposed to. Technology can benefit a classroom depending on how it is used. #SMWCED115

@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc Same. Plus it is easy to search and locate what you need on this site. It is hard to argue a good thing. #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q8: If you were only allowed one app or online resource, what would it be? Why? Defend Yourself and Convince me! Don't forget A8 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A8 Yes, I too have to go with Pinterest. I was going to say TeachersPayTeachers because the resources, unit enhancements, lesson plan ideas and learning tools are amazing but they cost and you can't fully see what you have until you purchase. Pinterest is free. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I was going to say the same thing. There are so many great tools, collaboration opportunities, resources and integration opportunities. Great choice!#SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A8: I would pick Pinterest. On Pinterest, you can find lesson plans, science experiments and follow other teachers to help you. Great for PLN! #SMWCED115 @smwc

@AshleyDowns @feltnerm @smwc Google Classroom is a game changer when it comes to organization, being time efficient and communicating with students and their parents. Great choice! #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A7 I would use Google Classroom. This would help me be more organized, communicate with students and collaborate. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc This site sounds awesome for technological enhancement. Would you use it for more middle/high school or would it be a great tool for elementary? #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A7 I would use the nearpod for science and social studies. You can download or ever use nearpod lesson plans. Students will be hands-on during science and social studies to keep their attention. #MSWCED115 @smwc
