@teris1091 that is fine. What technology do you use in your classroom? #edtechbridge
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:23 PM EDT

Ipads, 3D Rover, personal cell phone devices, and occasionally lap tops. you? #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:24 PM EDT

I use iPads, laptops and in class desktops. Very few of my student have their own personal device for us to use. #edtechbridge
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:25 PM EDT

What is the 3D Rover? #edtechbridge
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:26 PM EDT

same here. I usually try to stick to using the iPads because I run into the issue of students either not having #edtechbridge

devices, or abusing the opportunity to use their own devices #edtechbridge

Hello! what technology do you use in your classroom? @BardMeagan #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew, @melissa_mulieri, @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:27 PM EDT

Same here. I am use to having greater amounts of technology in the classroom because of title one funds. #edtechbridge
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:28 PM EDT

Hello @AzzaroMatthew this is my first chat as well. #edtechbridge
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:30 PM EDT

Yes, I do occasionally feel that the funds are not always applied towards useful resources #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:32 PM EDT

I am not in a title 1 school anymore so we do not get any of those funds. #edtechbridge

I never realized how helpful it was until I no longer had those resources. #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:33 PM EDT

does your school have a grant writing team that writes grants for y'all to receive resources? #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:34 PM EDT

not that I am aware of. I am new to the school though. That would be a good idea. #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:35 PM EDT

yes, especially if you're looking for resources for the entire school. Or just for your classroom if you want #edtechbridge

I'm currently a graduate student who will be entering the classroom for the first time this fall. Any suggestions for how to integrate technology without it seeming forced? #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091, @melissa_mulieri, @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:37 PM EDT

if I do just my classroom, I will have to share. lol #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:37 PM EDT

Gotcha. This is will be my 4th year teaching #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew, @melissa_mulieri, @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:38 PM EDT

When will you enter the classroom? #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:39 PM EDT

oh ok I've looked into doing Donors Choose or a a grant w/o using the school so that I can take the resources w/me #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
AzzaroMatthew Jun 20 @ 7:40 PM EDT

I will be in the classroom twice a week starting in the fall. I will be in the classroom full-time in Spring 2019 #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:40 PM EDT

That would be cool. I would like to just upgrade from an ancient smart board #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:41 PM EDT

Is this like a student teaching experience or will it be your room? #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:42 PM EDT

very true. I am extremely interested in the new boards that convert into an interactive table, and do virtual labs #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:42 PM EDT

That is so exciting! What school/ grade level will you be teaching? #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew
AzzaroMatthew Jun 20 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Student teaching. I will hopefully have my own room in Fall 2019 #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Oh yes!! that would be amazing. #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Yes. In the meantime, we just use the 3D Rover for virtual labs #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:45 PM EDT

That is awesome! #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew
AzzaroMatthew Jun 20 @ 7:46 PM EDT

Any suggestions for a young teacher? #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:46 PM EDT

what does the 3D rover do for virtual labs? #edtechbridge
In reply to @teris1091
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:47 PM EDT

The have different labs that you can walk through for different topics, and you use the 3D glasses #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:48 PM EDT

use the knowledge you come with even if it doesn't feel right. The experts know what they are talking about. #edtechbridge
In reply to @AzzaroMatthew
teris1091 Jun 20 @ 7:48 PM EDT

then it projects the lab on the board. I do it for labs that involve chemicals cause we don't have access to any #edtechbridge
In reply to @BardMeagan
BardMeagan Jun 20 @ 7:51 PM EDT

That is crazy you don't have access to chemicals #edtechbridge
