BIG COMEBACK WIN!! Back at it on Wednesday at 11am! #BrickByBrick

@kerrileewalsh THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! 💛💛💛

Thanks @aveejeff 🙏☺️🙌 great luck in your senior season!!!!

@feltnerm @smwc A5: Definitely parent/teacher conferences would be beneficial so both the parent and teacher knows what to expect in the classroom. Parents should also help prepare their child for the blended learning environment at home. #SMWCED115 @smwc

Q5: What should teachers do for or with parents as they begin to immerse their students into blended learning environments? Don't forget A5 and the hashtag/handle: #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc A6: Improve reading comprehensive with @ReadWorks. You can choose different Lexile reading numbers for each student. Learn Earth Geography using @googleearth. Students could then interview people who lived in the area, city, etc., the students are researching. #SMWCED115 @smwc

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

@nicholscarlie11 @BabyBirdMeg33 @feltnerm @smwc I think a SmartBoard would be a great benefit for the classroom. A lot of teachers who have a smart board use a program called Smart Exchange, which has every type of subject, lesson, or test that any teacher desires. It works well with both indivuals and groups. @smwc #SMWCED115

@nicholscarlie11 @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc I love and enjoy Kahoot and I think it would be great tool use as testing the students. Students have fun while the teacher receives feedback of each individual student. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I like how the Google Classroom can connect students with everyone, allowing them to share their ideas and be a unique factor in the classroom.#SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc I would use Google Classroom. I am more familiar with it. It would also be a benefit for myself because I can connect with students, share our ideas and complete tasks together. It is also a great organizational tool. #smwced115@ smwc

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

@feltnerm @smwc A7: I would use the SAMR Swimming pool model. This model is very helpful for both students and teachers on how to incorporate technology in the class room. It clearly explains the progression from substitution to redefinition. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A8: I would use IXL because it is used to prepare students for the state wide standardized testing. It helps in all subjects and teachers are able to receive feedback on their student’s progress. #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

@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc I am currently still in college, but I will have to keep Pinterest in mind! This app seems very popular and beneficial for teachers!

@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I agree! Open communication between the teacher and parents helps parents to be more comfortable about their child’s education. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A5:Including, meeting, and explaining to the parents about the learning environment and the technology tasks being presented benefits the students, teachers and parents. Informing parents of everything that is happening in the classroom is a huge help. #smwced115 @smwc

@Danielle_lance2 @feltnerm @smwc I agree! If teachers go through a training, then they feel more confident and be more willing to use the technology for their lessons. @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

@feltnerm @smwc A4: Teachers would appreciate an inservice to help them understand what programs are on the device and how to use the device. Having programs that provide feedback on a students progress to teachers would be very successful. #SMWCED115 @smwc

@AshleyDMurphy83 @feltnerm @smwc I agree with you completely! Technology can be very distracting, and having guidelines would be very beneficial to the students and teachers. @smwc #SMWCED115

@feltnerm @smwc A3: We need to teach our students about digital citizenship. Our students need specific guidelines to help make their time using technology in the classroom as useful as possible. Setting standards for them to follow is a great tool. #SMWCED115 @smwc

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

@feltnerm @smwc A3: I agree with other classmates saying to review the classroom/internet policy. I would explain to students I expect only things pertaining to the lesson on their screen and I will tell them when they can play games, do other homework, etc. #SMWCED115 @SMWC

@Jacquel071176 @feltnerm @smwc This is also a main concern for me. Students growing up in this day of age seem to know and understand technology very well. I feel when I become a teacher my students might have to teach me a couple things.

@feltnerm @smwc A2 My main concern for integrating technology into the classroom is that I completely understand the technology I’m using so that I tech my students properly and with confidence. #SMWCED115

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

@feltnerm @smwc A2: My main concern about technology in the class room is distraction. When each student has their own device, they can become problematic and distracting (Such as playing ineffective online games when the teacher is talking). #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A1:For my initial reaction, I was not surprised. Technology is quickly becoming an important part not only in education but around the whole world. Implementing technology will only help students to become more use to this new digital world surrounding them.#SMWCED115 @smwc

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

@Melissa66032046 @feltnerm @smwc #SMWCED115 @smwc

@feltnerm @smwc A1 my initial reaction to technology in the classroom was a good one... with the ever change pace of technology, showing students how to use it young will benefit them. Technology can and should be used for the good! #SMWCED115 @smwc
