    A1: 4th grade #wearewayne -Creating online learning content for students for blended learning during reading and math workshops -Gamifying instruction to increase student motivation and engagement -Helping learners CREATE content rather than just consume it
  • micheeaton - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:08 PM EST
    I love seeing the impact of technology on our youngest learners. ❤️ #wearewayne

    A2: We are also exploring with our Google Home in our classroom! #wearewayne
  • jfryeOU Feb 27 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Blessed to be 1 to 1 with chrome books in 3rd, so tons of google tools are integrated, video response tools, different online math tools, etc....and I am currently working on plans for our google expedition on Thursday/Friday!!! #wearewayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 27 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1 #wearewayne I also love that tech tools help to make materials and lessons more accessible for my included students. I've seen my students grow in independence and confidence when using Google read and write and video response through padlett and flipgrid
  • MrsWey10 Feb 27 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: @Flipgrid @padlet @TodaysMeet @itslearning @nearpod are a few of my favorites as a 6th grade teacher and interventionist! #WeAreWayne
  • CWECHAMP Feb 27 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Q2: What resources (including people) have you found most helpful when integrating technology into the classroom? #wearewayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 27 @ 8:12 PM EST
    #wearewayne Gamification is using game theory (winning points, leveling up, competition, cooperation) with learning theory. I use @classcraftgame to make learning both cooperative & competitive. Students earn points by completing learning tasks to level up/build up their avatar.
    • CWECHAMP Feb 27 @ 8:10 PM EST
      I think others would be interested in knowing more about Gamify - is there any additional info you can give?
  • angieaxo Feb 27 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: @KristinZiemke resources and @L_Lee918, @MelonyBoyd17, @robbiegrimes! Couldn’t do it all without them!! #wearewayne
  • jclambert33 Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: Our #OSS team is lucky to have our #teams #OTs and #SLPs that champion 4 scholars, led by @BethEmmoss @catherineahaus &@robbiegrimes #wearewayne

    A3: Reaching out to @micheeaton or collaborating with other teachers and seeing it in action, that always helps!#WeAreWayne

  • angieaxo Feb 27 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3: Listening to my colleagues, blogs, trial/error, etc! I love collaborating with others on what they are using and how it is working! Also, I listen to my kids! They are just as valuable in new resources/ideas! #wearewayne
  • jfryeOU Feb 27 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3: SOCIAL MEDIA (blogs, twitter, instagram, Facebook pages, online articles, etc)....Sometimes I wonder how I taught without it and the world wide community it provides! 😂 #wearewayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 27 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: When choosing a tool or app to use, I always try to have a clear idea about how it will enhance student learning. I find the best tools are ones that solve a problem in my classroom (engagement, accessibility, 21st cent skills etc). Not using tech just to use tech #wearewayne
  • CWECHAMP Feb 27 @ 8:22 PM EST
    Sometimes we forget that the kids can be a great resource! #wearewayne

  • CWECHAMP Feb 27 @ 8:23 PM EST
    What are some of your favorite blogs? #wearewayne
    In reply to @jfryeOU
  • MrsWey10 Feb 27 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A3: look for which tool will most efficiently help me reach my end goal, love easy collaboration ones and those allowing all students to have a voice ... critical when choosing! #wearewayne
  • mrs_ouellette6 Feb 27 @ 8:26 PM EST
    Allowing all students to have a voice is so important - I'm currently reading the book Empower (which I believe you recommended to me) and it's the theme throughout! #wearewayne

  • jclambert33 Feb 27 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A4: It can bring so many elements into the claasroom for scholars to experience, it also gives our Ss a way to participate and “show what they know” in the classroom setting #WeAreWayne

    Listening to dozens of @NGCImagination students and alumni playing some fantastic music at the band winter concert! #ngcpride #WeAreWayne
  • angieaxo Feb 27 @ 8:29 PM EST
    A4: Studnt engagement, student choice, motivation! We are meeting the students where they are and want to be! My technology integration gives my students the driver seat to their own learning! #wearewayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 27 @ 8:29 PM EST
    A4: The biggest benefit is helping students become passionate about learning and teaching them how to direct their own learning path- they have the world at their fingertips. Increased motivation & engagement from tech goes a long way in making that happen. #wearewayne
