How I feel about discovering PLN's #eci201 #PLNdiscovery

Recently discovered @edutopia and I am so excited to learn more about effective methods to communicate and teach my future students! Go check them out! #eci201 #PLNdiscovery

My hope in becoming a future educator is to break down the walls that divide my students based on their race or ethnicity. We must continue to develop an inclusive learning environment no matter the circumstances. #eci201 #PLNdiscovery #educolor

Kylie, your comment about physical and mental health regarding regular use of technology was interesting! There can definitely be feelings of isolation or shyness that could make using technology regularly stressful! #eci201 #digitalequity

Communicating online is going to follow students even outside of the classroom and including that into the classroom regularly will only make sure they are more informed and efficient at it overtime. #eci201 #digitalequity

Had so much fun working with Dash the robot today! Cant wait to incorporate coding into my elementary classroom in this engaging and modern way. Coding isn't always as intimidating as it seems! #eci201 #dashrobot @WonderWorkshop

I wanted to say thanks again for taking the time to speak with my #eci201 class, it was truly an enriching experience. In contrast to the largely positive idea of critical thinking, have we ever considered it to be the cause of constructs like racism or prejudice? @ColinESeale

Here’s a trace of #eci201 This is now one of my favorite online applications for all age groups in documenting virtual responses to assignments. Can you guess what it is? #PLNdiscovery

A5: I have recently been introduced to Flipgrid as an online discussion tool and I love it! Its a great way for students to reflect and collaborate using critical thinking skills! #gtchat #eci201

A4: Moving away from standardized testing and learning based off of memory and regurgitation of information would allow students limitless opportunities to create new ideas and form intellectual opinions. #gtchat #eci201

@ColinESeale Although I think it is being pushed more throughout programs, I feel as if it is still viewed as a "elective" skill. One to be practiced in various activities but not encouraged across all platforms at all times. Which I think is necessary #gtchat #eci201

@brieteach Curious @brieteach ... how well do you feel you are being prepared in your teacher prep program to deliver critical thinking instruction? #gtchat

A2: I would say critical thinking is needed now more than ever as young students are being forced to form opinions about global platforms. By this I mean political views, racial and sexual categorization and inequalities. #gtchat #eci201

A3: I think educators might be intimidated as too when they should welcome change and around what topics it would be most beneficial for a student to challenge and collaborate their critical thinking skills. #gtchat #eci201

@hahashi7 Totally agree, the application of your critical thinking is what makes it useful in the real world! You have to be able to USE it not just understand it. #gtchat #eci201

A1: I would define critical thinking as breaking down a complex problem from different viewpoints in order to solve an issue. #gtchat #eci201

Hello there, my name is Brie! I'm a student at NC State majoring in Education! One of my classes had the pleasure of hearing from @ColinESeale and I was so inspired that I just had to hear more via Twitter Chat! #gtchat #eci201

A3: If working with an older age group I would like to incorporate it in the classroom much like the second video, i.e. a way to answer and add to a discussion via tweets. #eci201

A1: No!- I have not seen Twitter used like this in a classroom before, especially at such a young age! #eci201

A2: For sure! This way I could differentiate between messages I am directing towards my fellow teachers or particular activities the students are reflecting on in the classroom. #eci201

Hi i'm Brie my favorite pets name is Macy! I cant wait to participate in my very first Twitter Chat! #eci201
