    A1: With the many tools available for students and teachers to enhance learning, it is key that Ss privacy is secure. #wemta

    A2: As a teacher, we ensured the students were given a full period to complete a task proving an understanding. Had room to improve to check of following the terms on a daily basis. #wemta

    What kind of task did you have them do? Was it a test or just an activity? #wemta

    Majority of the time Ss spent on a "hyperdoc" in hopes it made the experience meaningful. Finished with a basic "quiz" using forms. #WEMTA

    Nice! That's a great idea! Are you guys 1:1? Is that part of your rollout? #WEMTA

    A3: Having Ss create digital footprints of some celebs. Then a few examples of how sharing can have a positive or negative impact that does not disappear. #wemta

    A3: With Elem kids, I would model how one email can travel around withtout them knowing via forwarding. Not much social media. #WEMTA

    A4: Love Padlet! Our MS/HS gals are trying out some stuff with FlipGrid too! @njverbeten #WEMTA
    In reply to @BenvengaJoe, @njverbeten
  • BenvengaJoe Nov 14 @ 9:56 PM EST
    Padlet is great bc of flexibility but does lack the hard data other tools provide. Flipgrid was great too! #WEMTA
