Q2: How do you think technology has affected the learning process? #nptchat

lunabella1979 Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: good & bad, makes kids lazy but it's a wealth of info, need to teach them how to gather info #nptchat

cherrose72 Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2 I definitely think it affected the learning process in both negative and positive ways #nptchat

MsU2you Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

Q2: Students seem more eager "to try" via technology #nptchat

lunabella1979 Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: also, tech has dumbed down society in a way, but it has also mad things more interesting in the classroom #nptchat

Edtechie13 - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

I agree! The teacher is the key in making sure Ss use the tools they are lucky enough to have properly #nptchat

In reply to @lunabella1979

ed_storck Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2 tech has opened new doors to make Ss college & career ready: collaboration, computing skills, creation #nptchat

lunabella1979 Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

absolutely agree #nptchat

In reply to @cherrose72

gregsundahl Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2 technology has become a distraction in the classroom at times when students are hooked on their games #nptchat

Edtechie13 - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

what are the positives? #nptchat

In reply to @cherrose72

JanineHoffmans Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

@hollysrice13 definitely more work to get everything ready, but once the prep work is done, the daily work should get easier #nptchat

In reply to @hollysrice13

Mrs_KMooney Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2- I agree. Kids rely on it too much at times, but it is a valuable tool #nptchat

librarian_dcav - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

True. I think that T's need to engage the students, so that the laziness can transform into willingness. #nptchat

In reply to @lunabella1979

Edtechie13 - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

why do you think this is? #nptchat

In reply to @MsU2you

hollysrice13 Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2: Technology has both negative and positive impacts on student learning. So many creative ways we can engage our students #nptchat

librarian_dcav - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:24 PM EST

The key is to model good/effective tech behavior within the class, perhaps! #nptchat

In reply to @Mrs_KMooney

The tradition rationalization for adding tech to education is to define the need first, then look for the tech. #nptchat

when the Ss see a teacher trying to incorporate tech they feel comfortable with interest grows in the topic #nptchat

Thanks Danielle! Super excited :) #nptchat

A1 Technology has influenced the learning process in numerous ways. Easier access to knowledge and info. #nptchat

@mkule1A2: and we ARE seeing some improvement in writing; more proofreading of work. #nptchat

Some of this new tech can be overwhelming trying to navigate, but once we get familiar we will probably end up liking most of it #nptchat

scott_fishing2 Mar 6 @ 7:31 PM EST

I use remind for the parents #nptchat

Yup. 100% convinced the connection is bad here. I don't see my posts (Tweets) until 3-5 minutes later. @debra you may be right. #nptchat

A5: social media could benefit if done right. It is also medium Ss are comfortable with. #nptchat.

A5:for younger kids, classroom-run Twitter or Insta accounts from one computer have been amazing! #nptchat

A5 - I don't want to use social media with my students, if anything maybe a twitter chat #nptchat

Edtechie13 - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:58 PM EST

you're not up and answering student questions at 2 AM?! Psh! :) #nptchat

Yes! It is how they are communicating and collaborating. Why not join in, at a level that doesn't ruin their street cred #nptchat

The twitter chat is similar to a group text #nptchat

Edtechie13 - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:59 PM EST

could be challenging but maybe just posting some of your classroom events for their parents to see on Twitter #nptchat

a5 i've been stalked out this year! snapchat has been the hardest to deal with bc i'm still not too good at it #nptchat

MsU2you Mar 6 @ 7:59 PM EST

Sadly, sometimes I am, but I don't answer them. And if I'm asleep, the pings wake me, so I must silence my phone. #nptchat

we don't have a clearly defined one which definitely makes it hard.. #nptchat

Snapchat is the only one I'm not touching with a 10ft pole. I'll leave it to the Ss! #nptchat

Create a separate ed account and there's really nothing to worry about #nptchat
