Welcome Rebecca! #gcisdchat

msbearce - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:35 PM EST

A1 Google Expeditions really excite me. I like that students can experience places they might never get to travel to. #gcisdchat

janiestach Mar 2 @ 9:35 PM EST

A1: VR is exciting. We have Google Expeditions in #gcisd but there are already more immersive VR possibilities for home use #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 9:43 PM EST

A2 #gcisdchat VR Active participation No distractions Great for most types of learners

SBarkerEDU - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:44 PM EST

A2: Many students are lacking experiences beyond their community. VR opens doors for Ss to be exposed to a broader worldview #gcisdchat

ervin_courtney Mar 2 @ 9:45 PM EST

A2: I agree the Google expedition VR has a lot of potential for Ss learning in so many ways @HESRegalEagle #gcisdchat

msbearce - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:47 PM EST

definitely saw some kiddos who were getting dizzy with the headsets #gcisdchat

In reply to @sushi155

janiestach Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

A3: if technologies are used when relevant and not forced just for the sake off using, there can only be positive outcomes #gcisdchat

GESRedmon Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

A2: Agree with VR having the greatest impact. Love Google Expeditions. Stds love taking a virtual field trip via Google Hangout . #GCISDChat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

Q3 #gcisdchat I added Aritifical Intelligence since it is becoming more a part of our society. Jobs are being lost to AI.

msbearce - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

A3: I think with wearables we don't know the effects fully. Does a constant heart rate monitor on my arm harm me? Hope not... ha #gcisdchat

GESRedmon Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A3: Pros-Provides new opportunities for stds and greater engagement. Cons-It's technology... It can stop working!! #GCISDChat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

Q3 #gcisdchat With cons I was thinking more of the longevity of the battery/charging of the devices!

janiestach Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A3: would love to see the data from wearables being used in content, example: fitbit data in math or PE #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 9:50 PM EST

#gcisdchat Excellent point!

In reply to @msbearce

ervin_courtney Mar 2 @ 9:50 PM EST

A3: for me, one con with tech is time efficiency #gcisdchat

Q5: #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:02 PM EST

A1 I am very curious about 3D printing. I have been having fun with Google and apple classroom but 3D printing would be very fun #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:03 PM EST

A1 especially in my classes I am in HS social studies #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:03 PM EST

In reply to @GHESGators

sgardnergcisd Mar 2 @ 10:04 PM EST

How do you see those possibly being used in social studies? #gcisdchat

In reply to @michaeldepaolo1

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:05 PM EST

A5: #gcisdchat Really want to work with all subject areas in developing a plan to print with purpose

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:06 PM EST

A2 I think any technology that puts the learning right in the students hands is huge...ipads work great with apps for learning #gcisdchat

sgardnergcisd Mar 2 @ 10:06 PM EST

I agree! Such a great tool/resource that needs to be used #gcisdchat

In reply to @sushi155

SBarkerEDU - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:06 PM EST

A5: Opportunity to design and experiment has purpose. Ensuring Ss have evidence of design & a stated purpose is a starting place. #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:07 PM EST

A3 Technology can be huge to give kids more avenues to learn but sometimes they can get sidetracked if left alone on ipads/laptop #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:08 PM EST

Q6: #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:09 PM EST

A4 Renewable energy can be helped with technology..turning waste into productive material! #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:09 PM EST

A4 - having students research benefits of renewable energy and the harmful effects of pollution can open their eyes to changes #gcisdchat

janiestach Mar 2 @ 10:09 PM EST

yes, we are loving our wifi enabled lightbulbs in our house #gcisdchat

A6 #gcisdchat Great starting point for integrating these technologies is @kathyschrock site https://t.co/YvggPFKf1U

In reply to @kathyschrock

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

@sgardnergcisd 3D maps, 3D models of inventions, 3D models of battlefields if given enough time #gcisdchat

In reply to @sgardnergcisd, @sgardnergcisd

SBarkerEDU - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

A6: Start with the standards and look for ways tech can support deeper learning https://t.co/WpxELyfm10 #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

A6: #gcisdchat I still struggle with ideas for integrating 3D printing and it is one of my most interesting areas of new tech.

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

A5 purpose needs to be aligned with the lesson plan and curriculum. 3D printings can help visual learners #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

#gcisdchat I need to look @ 3D printing more from the creation piece than the actual printing

In reply to @michaeldepaolo1, @sgardnergcisd

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A6 depending on the subject I think we can use it effectively. History have a variety of options as I would think science?? #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A6 we can ask students to submit ideas for a 3D model print and then vote on which one they feel is best based on their ideas #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

Q7: #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

Q7 I would like to use my smart board more as I just got a crash course in it. There are so many apps and new ways to use it #gcisdchat

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:15 PM EST

A7: #gcisdchat I will be working with Math teachers from BCES using Tinkercad. Maybe we will print some Ss creations using 3D printer!!

SBarkerEDU - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:15 PM EST

A7: I was recently reminded of the power of AR. I would love to spend time designing engaging AR for a children's book. #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:16 PM EST

AR? #gcisdchat

Q8: #gcisdchat

BES_Stray Mar 2 @ 10:19 PM EST

A6: W/ 3D projects, S's write plans, design using measurement, & apply higher level thinking to turn their visions into reality. #gcisdchat

michaeldepaolo1 Mar 2 @ 10:20 PM EST

A8 The more we can infuse technology that is different and new with the curriculum, the better chance we have of reaching student #gcisdchat

ervin_courtney Mar 2 @ 10:20 PM EST

A7: Maybe my Ss can design & 3D print their artifact to represent their topic for US History era project @HESRegalEagle #gcisdchat

In reply to @HESRegalEagle

SBarkerEDU - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:21 PM EST

A8:I need to design! I can't dream of where to start with 3d printing. I need to jump in & learn & fail & learn some more #gcisdchat

janiestach Mar 2 @ 10:22 PM EST

A8: wanted to share this VR resource since some of our #gcisdchat folks are honoring WWII veterans this week https://t.co/A84KcqHhpw

A8: There are so many ways we can go with tech! #gcisdchat

drummondra Mar 2 @ 10:23 PM EST

A8 Thinking about how to integrate VR into math. #gcisdchat

sgardnergcisd Mar 2 @ 10:24 PM EST

I haven't even been thinking about VR with math! HMMM #gcisdchat

In reply to @drummondra

sushi155 Mar 2 @ 10:24 PM EST

A8: #gcisdchat My hope is that we all will try to implement these newer technologies & help Ss recognize their value now & in the future

ervin_courtney Mar 2 @ 10:24 PM EST

A8: Still so much more I can be doing #gcisdchat

BES_Stray Mar 2 @ 10:24 PM EST

A8: Technology can benefit all types of visual, kinesthetic, & auditory based learners, & be integrated into all subject areas. #gcisdchat

sgardnergcisd Mar 2 @ 10:25 PM EST

Maybe as students get more & more into passion projects this will happen #gcisdchat
