I'm excited to discover new (to me) innovative technologies and learn how to use Hyperdocs in ET-660! #ET660 #LoyolaET @LoyolaET @ireneamelia1 @LoyolaEducation

A2: Lately, I've enjoyed using VoiceThread to give students choice with how they respond.

A1: Games always seem to get my kids involved and interested in the learning. #EngageMID

Hello! My name is Ashley Robart. I am a 4th grade teacher at Sandalwood Elementary (not middle, but I know I'll still learn a ton tonight). If I was back in middle school, I wish my teachers would be more hands on! #engageMID

Thanks for joining us tonight everyone! I really enjoyed sharing and learning with all of you! #classroomtechknow

@DavidMarcovitz No. Mostly because they published them on Schoology, our LMS. I also don't feel completely comfortable with them being at the elementary level and sharing projects outside of school (other than family and friends). #classroomtechknow

A6: Recently my students completed reserach on a social issue to create an infographic. Using that infographic, they took a stand on their social issue & produced a blog post or podcast. They then commented on each others projects with things they've learned. #classroomtechknow

@DingleJDingle @mspsmusic I love this idea! I'll have to share it with the teachers at my school who are planning our Career Day! #classroomtechknow

@mspsmusic A6: Technology expands the walls of your classroom! One of my favorite projects that we did is a virtual career day where students got to talk to people all over the world that had a job they were interested in having. #ClassroomTechKnow

Q6: Share a way classroom technology enhanced your students’ learning. #classroomtechknow

@DavidMarcovitz This was a favorite activity of mine already. I cannot wait to implement it into my classroom. #classroomtechknow

@srtalittmann That's so awesome! #classroomtechknow

A6: My students don't like recording themselves, but I've really seen improvement in their oral interpersonal communication skills when using Flipgrid! Students are more comfortable interacting in the target language in class after practicing digitally. #classroomtechknow

@smile_pause I agree. So many times I find some incredible content on Instagram and once I'm done gawking, I find myself stumped at how I can redesign it to fit the needs of my classroom. #classroomtechknow

A5: I tend to find most of my teacher inspo from teacher IG accounts, or my colleagues. The challenge has been finding ways to integrate all of the things I am learning into our scripted curriculums. #classroomtechknow

@LaurenRichman2 Our PLN is awesome! <3 #ClassroomTechKnow

A5: My tech inspiration comes from the one and only @KFHendricks ! She's my go-to person when I want to incorporate technology into my classroom. She always challenges me and encourages me to step outside my comfort zone. #classroomtechknow

@jmhawkins6 @mspsmusic Agreed! I'm always focused on time restrictions and the need to focus on curriculum deadlines and timelines. #classroomtechknow

@mspsmusic Q4 the flexibility with the timeline driven curriculum that allows for little time to do these amazing skills NEEDED for their success in the world we live in. #classroomtechknow

Q4: What is your biggest challenge when integrating technology in the classroom? #classroomtechknow

A4: My biggest challenge is challenging my students and not just using it as substitution. #classroomtechknow

@smile_pause Once your students are connected to your class, it's very easy. Plus it gives them an opportunity to comment on each others posts and interact with each other that way. #classroomtechknow

@ashleyrobart1 KidBlog is another one I wanted to try! Is it pretty user friendly? #classroomtechknow

A3: Schoology, Padlet, KidBlog, VoiceThread and Google Suite #classroomtechknow

@DingleJDingle @LearnPromethean I'm pretty sure you were at a CPD course I took over the summer for Classflow. I learned SO much in those few days. I truly love Classflow and every time I use it in my classroom, my students are engaged and enjoy learning! #classroomtechknow

Obvi my favorite is #classflow @LearnPromethean #classroomtechknow

@DavidMarcovitz It's a new goal of mine. I've always wanted my students to have online penpals. Now that I know about #ePals, I plan to incorporate it somehow. #classroomtechknow

@stephenn2020 Ooh, I love using Symbaloo for my kiddos! #classroomtechknow
