I'd like to shout out tweet @MsCoughlinRM for being an awesome teammate & your safety infographic, @RubenDi70776946 for thoughtful discussion responses, and @DeannaS31681630 for your diverse media resources! I'll miss this class! #EDLT561 @desertjul

This week in #EDLT561, I'm reflecting on my goals and happy to say that I've learned so much that I can share with my students and colleagues! TPACK, PLNs, Digital Citizenship, and more! @desertjul

@MsCoughlinRM @eddieestrada @DeannaS31681630 The best team!!!!

I ran out of characters for my shoutout Tweet I also want to shoutout @eddieestrada and @rachegabe and @DeannaS31681630 team We Mean Media was a joy to work and learn with this semester.

For my last Shoutout Tweet, I want to thank @DeannaS31681630 and @debb_marie for highlighting some wonderful resources that teachers can use in their classrooms immediately. Also, thank you to @desertjul for guiding and supporting this amazing #EDLT561 team this semester!

For my final #EDLT561 reflection, social media should be used in the classroom b/c it creates a sense of classroom community, encourages thoughtful discourse, and offers the opportunity to teach students digital citizenship! @desertjul

@debb_marie @desertjul Yes! Growth is essential!

My 4th week in #EDLT561 has me feeling grateful for the ability to learn about technology and how we can have fun while learning! Never stop learning or growing! @desertjul

@mickeylover74 @lorinflores @desertjul Yes! The walkthrough was so helpful. It made things so much easier!

Shout out to @lorinflores for giving #EDLT561 the awesome DISCORD presentation! I learned so much. @desertjul thank you for allowing her the opportunity to do so.

@TaiyoBrett @Twitch @discord @desertjul Reaching students outside of class for reminders is something I would have loved to have as a K-12 student. I can't help but think of how our students reap so many great benefits as technology advances.

@AaronLaut @desertjul I agree! It's so exciting learning about new digital technology for education!

I learned how powerful Discord and Twitch can be when utilized in the classroom. I think the future of education is moving towards platforms like these. The possibilities are endless! #EDLT561 @desertjul

My #EDLT561 classmates share the best @Twitch & @Discord resources! @PlayerJanessa shared the best tutorial for getting started,@Janaya_Bunker shared how teachers are learning from streamers and @PlayerJanessa for teaching math on Twitch.@desertjul

This week in #EDLT561 I learned all about Twitch and Discord and how they can be used in education. In my research, I found that there are countless teachers already using these platforms! So exciting! @desertjul

@MaddryJessica @desertjul

@Janaya_Bunker @desertjul Yes @Janaya_Bunker!

@TaiyoBrett @desertjul Yes, we did!

Shoutout to @zunit14 for showing her PLN connections, @cwelles for highlighting the definition of a PLN, and @Janessa for highlighting who, when, and where to use a PLC! #edlt561 @desertjul

This week in #EDLT I learned the importance of a personalized learning network. Tools, resources, fun lesson plans, diverse relationships, endless possibilities! @desertjul Me: When I hear you don't have a PLN.

Why do you need a PLN? #EDLT561 #PLN @desertjul

This week in our We Mean Media group, we decided that a great way to use @shapchat in the classroom would be to create and share interactive vocabulary cards, simply snap a picture and use the Snapchat tools to mark it up. #EDLT561 @desertjul

So many different great resources in #EDLT561 from classmates about digital citizenship! @RubenDi70776946 provided great email etiquette advice, @eddieestrada addressed online/person life mirroring, & @TaiyoBrettemphasized empathy. Awesome team! @desertjul

@AaronLaut @desertjul Teaching and modeling digital citizenship are so important for our students. With all of the resources that are now available, there is no excuse for our students' safety to be at risk. It's time to take action! #EDLT @desertjul

I loved creating my infographic on digital citizenship. I think digital citizenship should be taught in every school because the digital world is becoming more applicable for young people than ever before. It is up to teachers to show digital responsibility. @desertjul #EDLT561

@MsCoughlinRM I had never heard of TPACK before this week! I loved reading that the teacher's expertise in content drives the vision and approach that students need to reach the learning goal. Then, the teacher chooses the most appropriate technology to reach that goal. 🤯 #EDLT @desertjul

This week in #EDLT561 has reaffirmed the importance of Digital Citizenship education for students of all ages, including balance and safety. TPACK is where teachers can find the building blocks necessary as they support students in developing these skills.
