Spending the day learning at Eminence Independent School! #sofici

Thank you so much everyone for participating in our chat!! #educW200chat

@educpnesbit Nearpod is such a great tool! #educW200chat

A2: One great technology resource I've found so far is Nearpod. It allows you to integrate open ended questions, quizzes, polls, etc, and I think it would really enhance lessons by making them more engaging and interactive for students. #educW200chat

Q2: What is one great technology resource you’ve found so far? How might you use it in your future classroom? #educW200chat

@educcmpellan I completely agree with you. I think our students are using technology in their everyday lives and by bringing technology into the classroom it helps them become more engaged! #educW200chat

R1: I definitely think it's important to integrate technology into the classroom because our world uses technology everyday and it is important to understand the new tools that are created. It also makes things more fun, engaging, efficient, and overall, better #educw200chat

Q1: Do you think it’s important to integrate technology in your future classroom? Why or why not? #educW200chat

@T_Copple Thank you so much!!

@educhsbegle You did a GREAT job! I look forward to hearing great things from you in the future. #INeLearn

Thank you to everyone who participated in our twitter chat tonight. We greatly appreciate everyone sharing their ideas and knowledge with us! #INeLearn

@LCHS_Bio This is amazing advice!! I definitely need to remember this when entering the field! Sometimes I get a little carried away #INeLearn

R7: Try anything you feel comfy with, but don’t try EVERYTHING! If you do, you will never get great at any one of them. #INeLearn

@T_Copple Love this. Thank you so much for sharing your advice with us!! #INeLearn

R7 Try things. Don't be afraid to ask questions of veteran Ts and likewise don't be afraid to share your voice in a respectful way. Teaching is about sharing. We are all in this together. #INeLearn

Q7: What's the best advice you would give to preservice teachers to help them be successful with technology integration? #INeLearn

@LCHS_Bio I feel as if I am mostly prepared because I am pursuing a computer educators license addition. I feel comfortable with exploring tech tools but I believe without taking these classes to learn how to incorporate tech tools I would not feel prepared #INeLearn

Ok I have a ? to ask of our preservice Ts. Do you feel prepared to integrate tech into a classroom? As a #DigitalImmigrant, I have no fear of busting out tech in my room. Yet, I feel that some #DigitalNatives don’t feel as comfy. Thoughts? #INeLearn

@T_Copple I think being fluid is so important and integration should never be forced. You want to be comfortable with whatever it is your are implementing. #INeLearn

R5 Providing PD for content creation, tools, etc. A tech integration rubric was tossed around a couple of years ago, but never implemented. At this point in our 1:1 journey, I think integration shouldn't be forced and should look more fluid. #INeLearn

Q5: How do you (or your school) establish and maintain a shared vision for what effective technology integration looks like? #INeLearn

@JessieLaine7 @shighley @SkypeScientist I have never heard of that before. Thank you so much for sharing!! #INeLearn

@educhsbegle @shighley I like to plug @SkypeScientist any chance I get. You get connected to a scientist in whatever field and they are from all over the world.

R2: I was able to support a T who did an extensive research proj with 6th grade. Before it was over, they had connected with experts via skype, GHO, facetime and phone. Created presentations for community members. #INeLearn

@shighley I love that it really gives student choice and keeps them engaged! #INeLearn

@educhsbegle And one of the things that was so amazing was that for the most part, the students found them themselves. #INeLearn

@T_Copple I love how you mentioned fighting through the problems alongside your Ss. I believe that is so important and many teachers don't think about it in this way! #INeLearn

R4 STAY CALM. Glitches will absolutely happen. Failure will be a guarantee when you try something new. Fight through the problems alongside your Ss. Teach them to troubleshoot. Become BFF w/ your tech staff and have them teach you instead of just fix it. #INeLearn

@LCHS_Bio I love Shark Tank and I think this is a really great to get students engaged in a project! Great idea!! #INeLearn

R3: I want to give my Ss a project that would benefit the community, they construct and design in class using the tech we provide (3D printers, cad programs, video production), then sell it “shark tank” style. #INeLearn

@candicedodson I love the idea of giving students choice of what kind of device they would like to work! That is such an amazing idea! #INeLearn

R3: I often imagine the "perfect" learning setting with a variety of devices...laptops, chromebooks, ipads...all available, connected and ready to meet the needs of students in exploring and evidencing their learning. #inelearn
