@Bdavidson97c @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes Hi Brittany, I think checkpoints during power points is a great way to keep students engaged. I know in some of the college courses I have taken professors did this and I would be sure to be paying attention to get extra points.

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes A4) PowerPoint has fantastic ways to engage students. I will try and add checkpoints within my slides, that have various activities for the students to do about what we just went over. @doctor2pi #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200

Hi All, This has been a great chat! Let's finish strong with question #4 #CSUBTED and #EDTE4200! @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes

@laurenottee @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes Hi Lauren, I think this is a great idea to integrate technology into the classroom. When I sub for elementary schools I notice that the programs you mentioned are pretty common in the classroom and students really enjoy using them, especially Prodigy!

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes A4) I can use technology to make quizzes and other knowledge checks more engaging by using sites like Kahoot!, Quizzizz, and Prodigy. This will allow students to learn while having fun! #CSUBTED #csubedte4200 @Duncannedd

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes A4) As someone who is aiming to teach science at the secondary level, I think I can use technology to increase student engagement by having students watch videos and collaborate together to dissect the content. #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@carissag5849744 @tom_karnes @doctor2pi Hi Carissa, I agree that building more public places that offer free Wi-fi can be a great solution for accessible tech. I know some schools loaned chromebooks for home-use after Covid. If they don't have wifi at home a public place with wifi is an option.

@tom_karnes @doctor2pi A3) One way to make sure that tech is accessible to all community members is to create more public places with free wifi & computers such as libraries and after-school clubs. Not enough resources limits tech in the community. #csubted #csubedte4200 @doctor2pi

Happy Leap Day! Here's the next question. Make sure you include A3) before your response. Don't forget to tag #CSUBTED , #CSUBEDTE4200, and your EDTE 4200 professor.

@xojessieeex @tom_karnes @doctor2pi Hi Jess, I agree that loaning chromebooks or supplying libraries with resources for the community is a great way to make technology accessible to everyone. I think if librarians are trained on common school programs, they can familiarize students with said programs.

@tom_karnes @doctor2pi A3) Building more public libraries with public computers and Wi-Fi can ensure technology access to all members of a community. A foreseeable challenge is not having enough available computers for everyone to use, but time limits may help. #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@Squiggly_Line8 @doctor2pi @Duncannedd Hi Wyatt, I agree that language learning apps like Duolingo can be a great tool for EL students. It is very much like a game and I think students would be even more excited to use it because of that.

@doctor2pi A2) Practicing English on apps like Duolingo could benefit English Language Learners by helping expand their vocabulary and improving grammar. It's also great because it feels like playing a game! #CSUBTED #csubedte4200 @Duncannedd

@MagdalenaBQG @doctor2pi I have never heard of IXL until now! I just looked at the program and I agree, it has so many personalized resources for students on multiple topics and also has some great analytical tools teachers.

@doctor2pi A2) One program I have seen in the school I substitute for that will benefit English Language Learners is IXL. This program allows ELL students to gain academic success at their own pace and allows us to see what they know. #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@doctor2pi A program that I have learned will benefit EL's is Youtube. Students can watch videos in english to improve their listening and speaking skills. It can also be used to translate video lessons so they can follow along with the class. #EDTE4200 #CSUBTED @doctor2pi

@s0smoney @BarnellNicole @doctor2pi Hi Esaias, I agree that Youtube can be a great tool to use in the classroom. I have used it many times as a sub whenever students want calming music to work to or when there is a great video on an academic topic I want to show them.

@BarnellNicole A1) Use of technology in the classroom is inevitable. With apps like YouTube, I can display a tutorial video to assist with project completion, and simultaneously sync to a smart board remotely. This technology promotes communication and interest. #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @doctor2pi

Good evening! Here is the first question in the CSUB EDTE4200 Spring 2024 Slow Chat. Make sure you include A1) before your response. Don't forget to tag #CSUBTED, #CSUBEDTE4200, and your EDTE 4200 professor.

@RedstoneTay @BarnellNicole Hi Taylor, I also agree that social media can be a powerful tool for teachers to build relationships with students. Students are probably already on social media, so incorporating something they enjoy doing in to the class should hopefully get them more engaged.

@BarnellNicole A1) Since many students are interested in technology & social media, incorporating it the classroom can enhance relationships. They can gamify activities to engage students, and show videos. They can also create surveys for student input. #CSUBTED, #CSUBEDTE4200 @BarnellNicole

@BarnellNicole A1) Technology can enhance student-teacher relationships by facilitating communication via email or apps like Slack. Another way can be incorporating collaborative platforms like Google Docs to enable collaboration and real-time feedback. #EDTE4200 #CSUBTED @doctor2pi

@hheatherh101 @Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @jse_CSUB Hi Heather, like you I am struggling between choosing to teach at the elementary or secondary level. Right now I am also leaning towards high school, but I mostly sub for elementary and I love it so much!

@Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @jse_CSUB Hello, my name is Heather Hansen and I’m in my junior year. I hope to graduate with my teaching credential in Art Education. I would love to be a 1st-6th grade art teacher but will most likely teach middle or highschool art. #csubted #csubedte4200 @Duncannedd

Welcome to @csubted's SPRING 2024 X (formerly Twitter) Chat! Here students from across @CSUBakersfield's EdTech classes collaborate through twitter! Reply and introduce yourself. Tag your EDTE4200 professor! #csubted #csubedte4200 Tonight your first question will be posted!

@tatitorres_28 @Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @jse_CSUB Hi Tatiana, I am also a post-grad student finishing up my prerequisites and I am also hoping to teach high school! lol What subject are you hoping to teach?

@Duncannedd @doctor2pi @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @jse_CSUB Hi! My name is Celina and I am currently a post grad student at CSUB. I plan on teaching science in high-school. I am currently working as a substitute teacher within a couple of school districts in Bakersfield. #EDTE4200 #CSUBTED @doctor2pi

I am gaining so much knowledge on the educational technology that we have access to not only as students but as future educators. I can't wait to use the sites and tools that I'm learning about in my future classroom.👩‍🏫 #csubted #csubedte4200

During January 2024, we gained about 38 minutes of daylight —finishing the month with 10 hours/24 minutes of daylight. Sunrise tomorrow, Feb 1, is at 7:29 am —Sunset at 5:55 pm. Snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are expected Thurs night & Friday. 📷NPS/C. Kraus 1/25/2024.

As a teacher I can’t stop thinking about how one day it was just completely normal for teachers to wear Ukraine pins to school, but for Palestine teachers have tweeted polls about whether it should be discussed & the govt released ‘guidance’ on “challenging hateful narratives”

As a teacher, you should never want a student leaving class feeling defeated or deflated. As an admin, you should never want a teacher leaving school feeling defeated or deflated. Be compassionate, available, supportive, and encouraging.
