@msantos_lara @doctor2pi @tom_karnes Hi Maria! It can be challenging to consistently communicate positive behavior, but I try to take advantage of any opportunity I have to talk with parents. Even if it's in the context of addressing a negative experience, I like to highlight something positive. :)

@ruiz36038 @doctor2pi @tom_karnes Hi Miriam, Class Dojo sounds great! Can you or have you also communicated good behavior reports to parents through this tech tool? #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@NewteacherTae @tom_karnes Hi Tae! I agree with you. I believe the best recommendations come from other teacher colleagues. They have already incorporated technology in the classroom and learned from trial and error. @tom_karnes

@tom_karnes A4) I would go to colleagues and other grade-level teachers and test new resources, how they work, and how effective they are in my classroom. If I am uncomfortable working with them, I would only use or practice them once I can utilize them well. #csubedte4200, #CSUBTED

Last evening of the Slow Chat! Here's the next question. Make sure you include A4) before your response. Don't forget to tag #CSUBTED , #CSUBEDTE4200, and your EDTE 4200 professor.

@tom_karnes A4) Pinterest can be a valuable tool for discovering the latest classroom technology trends. The best online resources for students and teachers were recommended by my teacher @tom_karnes and peers in our #CSUBEDTE4200 class! #CSUBTED

@xlissetgonzalez @doctor2pi @tom_karnes Hey Lis! I am not too familiar with Ed Puzzle, but after looking at the site and their interactive videos with quizzes, I see how students can easily grasp concepts through visuals and audio!

@doctor2pi A2) As a teacher, evaluating your students can be a daunting task, but I would suggest using Google Forms. This tool is efficient as it provides instant grading, allowing you to give quick feedback to students of different backgrounds & levels. #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @tom_karnes

@clemrodriguezjr @Ststansberry Hey Clemente! I believe that technology is particularly useful when teaching multilingual students since it allows for effective visual instruction. I use videos to support my English language learners, they learn at their own pace, and I can check in with them later if needed.

Wednesday fun! Here's the next question in the CSUB EDTE4200 Slow Chat. Make sure you include A3) before your response. Don't forget to tag #CSUBTED , #CSUBEDTE4200, and your EDTE 4200 professor.

@Ststansberry A3) I have helped my EL learner learn math concepts through instructional Spanish YouTube videos which I assign to her via Google Classroom. I also like using Google Translate for translating vocabulary words. #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @tom_karnes

@marroyo0319 @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass Hey Melanie! I totally agree with you that Class Dojo is an excellent way to communicate with parents when students are misbehaving. Moreover, it can also be used as a platform to showcase student content once they have finished their projects.

@doctor2pi One specific tool where parents and teachers can collaborate on is class dojo. Class dojo is used to help let the parents know how the students are doing in class. If a student is misbehaving they will deduct a point notifying the parents. #CSUBTED #EDTE4200 @DrEddiesClass
