#txeduchat using technology-based games (kahoot) are not only fun/competitive, but also help me know if i have a good grasp on material

Isham_Literacy Oct 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

How easy it is 2 use! Let them get in there and try it! I had 2 teachers app-smash using Chatterpix during my #flipgrid training! #txeduchat

In reply to @CarrieAnnTripp

DrHarrisonMcCoy Oct 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Yes, I think a digital worksheet is probably the worst example of tech integration. #txeduchat

CarrieAnnTripp Oct 15 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Not to mention a worksheet is still a worksheet regardless of presentation. #txeduchat

#txeduchat A2: Occasionally technology will be used as a teaching substitute for a topic that can be taught in lecture or discussion.

A1 - Technology has the power to accelerate learning and create a wider community of practice. In today's world its a necessity. #txeduchat

JCasaTodd Oct 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Hi #TXEduChat Happy to jump in for a bit! Jennifer, from Newmarket ON. My fav way to use tech in school is to connect Ss to others in world

A2 Preparing a lesson with tech integrated, but not testing it before hand 🤦‍♂️🤔 #txeduchat

MuddChristopher Oct 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Another useful tool are the PhET simulations for experiments that can't always be easily visualized or carried out in class #txeduchat

JCasaTodd Oct 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: If I can do the exact same thing with a paper & pen, I don't think it's the most effective use of tech #TXEduChat

#TXEduChat my teachers let their students follow their public professional accts— usually post about cool lessons/reminders/school pride

A7: Don't judge your chapter 3 by others' chapter 10s. Got to keep a healthy perspective. Social media can distort reality. #txeduchat

JCasaTodd Oct 15 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Agreed. But don't think anything will change if we don't...or at least have courageous convos about it? #txeduchat

A7: Taking something personal... remember some ideas are just opinions, not personal. #txeduchat

A7: anonymity lends itself to going negative quickly. You can’t read intent in a tweet, so you assume, incorrectly #TXEduChat

R13Coaches Oct 15 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Virtual conversations are just less rich. Emotion can be lost. Connect F2F and virtual. Blend social and F2F Connect. #txeduchat

Mostly my young (18-25yrs) friends are the ones who like my posts. None in particular. Older ones not interested. #txeduchat

#txeduchat A7: Definitely the addictive nature, the negative atmosphere, and the speed where some things get lost are drawbacks

#txeduchat A7: Following news events & political tension keeps me weary of social media sometimes, but I think it's vital to be informed!

DrHarrisonMcCoy Oct 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

One thing I enjoy about edcamps is getting to connect face-to-face with Twitter heroes. #txeduchat

Of course, I meant "suffer". (Sheesh!) #txeduchat

ToshMcGaughy Oct 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

#txeduchat Not sure social media is what makes you weary. Might be 6 days a week of rehearsals & school. Maybe.

#txeduchat Have kids put their phones away during class, it just helps. Having some time off of computers for discussion is nice to have

Jaibyrd123 Oct 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A8: don‘t be afraid! When in doubt, ask the kids...how to use it, how you COULD use it, how Ss want you to use it. #TXEduChat

R13Coaches Oct 15 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Precisely. And Sxsw. We love bumping into our favorite faces. It's so much more. #txeduchat

#txeduchat ❤️that you want discussion while in class. Using a class full of devices instead of interacting face to face takes balance.

#TXEduChat sometimes it’s nice to not use tech— like for class discussions, tests, or notes (balance using tech and not using it)

#TXEduChat personally, i like to not use tech when i’m first learning (no distraction) & instead use tech (like videos/games) to reinforce
