When it comes to studying, less CAN be more. edut.to/2XCgzEs

@educmcgrawkm Hi Katie! In my opinion I believe using one piece of technology per lesson plan is plenty. Anything more and the prep time and overall activity can take longer and become a little complex!

Hi everyone! In your opinion, how much is "too much" technology in the classroom? How can we balance using technology with traditional, hands on activities? #elemchat

@MrsSierraFlores Hello! I go to Indiana University and I would like to teach special education! I have been working with special needs almost all my life and its a strong passion of mine!

Hi everyone! What grade level(s) do you teach? (Or what university do you attend) How many years experience do you have? #elemchat Me: I've taught 2nd grade departmentalized Math & Science for 4 years, and 3rd grade self-contained for the past year!

@MadalynW5 Thanks! I'll have to look into that:)

@educaaluna A5- Hey! This app is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication solution for students who suffer from speech difficulties due to autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, apraxia, aphasia or traumatic brain injury - it's Proloquo2Go! #elemchat

Hey guys! Does anyone know of technology that might be used to enhance learning for those with special needs? #elemchat

@KierstynFrankl2 @TeachBloom I just made an activity introducing coding to 1st graders and I simply introduced the concept of directions on paper. It was like a bingo game but you had to make a sequence to get to a picture on it. Sometimes simpler can be better!

@TeachBloom I also struggle with this! It's difficult to incorporate this when it feels unfamiliar even to me. Hour of code is a great website where students can learn about coding but I don't have a lot of ideas on how to incorporate coding into other subject areas/lessons. #elemchat

Does anyone have suggestions for utilizing code within lessons? I've been struggling. #elemchat

@mslenastephens @TeachBloom Sometime's it can help breaking the concept down into more than one activity/idea! And then start building it onto eachother and reintroduce it to the.

@TeachBloom Ive also been struggling with this. I'm wanting younger students and I am not sure how to incorporate a difficult concept like this. #elemchat

"Give kids credit. They have an innate sense of what's right and what's wrong. Being able to draw on that innate sense of justice through relatable stories is so important." @KLAT12 @NPR kqed.org/mindshift/4859… #edchat #reading #parenting #elemchat #tlchat

A2: The most exciting resource I have found was dyslexiefont. #educW200chat

A1: Yes, technology is very important. It offers a diverse way of presenting information to the students as well as helping to engage them in the subject. #educW200chat

In #educW200 my group and I got to play around with cubelets! It was such a fun activity and really challenged you to pick out the best cubes based on their individual purpose. @Kjantara

A sneak peek at a fun hands on activity I made about “Rainbow Fish”! It teaches kids how to retain information from what they read, and identify key points of a story!#educW200 ⁦@Kjantara⁩

Today I educated myself more on the importance of digital citizenship and the best way to implement it into my classroom! #educW200 @Kjantara

It's always such a great feeling for the student and the teacher when they finally understand the lesson! #educw200 @Kjantara

Pinterest.com is such a great resource to help improve my classroom! It gives me so many great ideas on how to become a more effective teacher as well as giving my students an even more enjoyable learning experience!

Just finished my hour of coding on Tynker.com! Can't wait to incorporate this into my future lesson plans. #educW200 @Kjantara

I made my first newsletter using an awesome website called Smore! It helped me share a bit about me as well as my values as a teacher! @Kjantara smore.com/am8ve-miss-lun…

Just completed my first ChatterPix! Now you can learn a bit more about me. youtu.be/cQWFfm9zUic via @Kjantara
