Check out these tips to support your students who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing! I'm looking forward to trying out the closed captioning feature on Google Meets! Also, has anyone ever used webcaptioner.com for closed captioning? Thoughts? #eci834 decibelsfoundation.org/what_we_do/the…

In my class #eci834 we have been talking about accomodations. I have always been super interested in dyslexia, so I thought I would share.

Love this! #eci834

#sketchnote of the day - Ss should never be made to be afraid of using #tech & being online - However, they must learn key skills in order to navigate online spaces safely - Ask yourself if your Ss can do the behaviours in the sketchnote - #edtech #digitalcitizenship #edtechchat

After reading some blog posts this week, I can see @Flipgrid is a popular video response platform! How can you teach your students the art of commenting and creating quality response videos? Check out the graphics in the link below for some ideas! #eci834 hollyclark.org/2020/03/24/8-t…

@TeacherTremblay I thinking of starting a teacher professional development book club...still debating the best method of delivery 🤔

Anyone thinking about starting virtual book clubs, take a read! I like the idea of teachers sharing short video responses, but I also think this would be beneficial for students to share their ideas and to comment on each others work! #eci834 edutopia.org/article/how-se…

@patricia_ives Coral is amazing! I used to have a saltwater fish tank for years. Coral is definitely the best part and surprisingly hard to keep alive.

@SarahBallardABC There are too many awesome undersea creatures!! Can I pick coral as my overall choice - for today?

Tonight in #ECI834 we were talking about using icebreakers in online classes. It was suggested to use something like 'share your opinion on pineapple in pizza'. The following seems like a fun topic. My fav deep sea creature is the mimic octopus! What's yours?

@mrsakrigg Verrryyy cool!

@SarahBallardABC I agree the mimic octopus is intriguing but the Deep sea anglerfish is very interesting as well. seasky.org/deep-sea/angle….

@MmeLBlair Jelly fish are amazing and pretty magical. (I am also team pineapple 🍍🍕🏆)

@SarahBallardABC I’m going to go with Jelly fish. Great idea! And yes, pineapple belongs on a pizza.
