Our goals are to connect grads and current students, share ideas and advice, and be inspired. #ElonEd chat brings together experienced teachers and novice teachers to discuss best practices. We see our chat as a way to mentor future teachers who are students at Elon, and anyone who wants to join us in that effort is welcome.
Welcome to the #ElonEd chat! Our goals are to 1) foster collaboration among alumni, current students, and others, 2) to share ideas and advice, and 3) inspire and encourage each other.
Hi everyone, I'm Emily Boynton! I'm a senior elementary and special ed major getting ready to start my student teaching in a resource classroom then a first grade classroom at E.M. Yoder! #ElonEd
Rebekah Davis, doc student @NCStateLDT (learning, design & tech) @ElonEdFellows class of '95! Excited about tonight's topic. Will hang as long as possible! #eloned
The #ElonEd moderators tonight are alumni @BoydPhysics & @DMartin_GCMS. We are looking forward to the conversation! Our topic is "How can digital tools enhance student learning?"
Oh, why not, if @toddlee and @MichaelAVaughn are here? Paula Patch, Senior Lecturer in English and Coordinator of College Writing at Elon University. #ElonEd
Let's get this conversation hoppin'! Should be no problem with 280 characters now!
Q1: How has educational technology changed over the past several years? How have these changes affected teaching and learning? #ElonEd
A1: Well, as you can see from the side conversation about outdoor tech, one big change has been the shift from getting students connected to getting them to disconnect! #ElonEd

Q1: How has educational technology changed over the past several years? How have these changes affected teaching and learning? #ElonEd
A1: it has allowed us to make the learning and sharing not be constrained by our four physical walls. We can find experts all over the world. We have access to more information than ever and we can provide an authentic audience for our students. #eloned
A1: Glad to see that many have moved on from trying to find the "silver bullet app" and moved back to thinking about the content and pedagogy first, then pick the tech that works best second. #eloned
A1: Sometimes I think technology has advanced quicker than educator's knowledge of it... Sometimes teachers are receiving training in technology that is already or will be very shortly outdated. #ElonEd
A1. Tech always seems to get smaller, smarter, and more connected but what most teachers do with it remains to stay the same. Hope to disrupt that. #eloned
A1: We got a lot more tech but it came in so quickly it wasn't properly vested. I'd guess most of what was introduced over the last 10 years is gone. Netbooks? Clickers? #eloned
Yes! In fact, we've shifted from computer labs to flexible learning spaces that are tech-enabled. In my 15-year career, I've gone from fighting for lab space to not wanting a lab with immovable furniture and tech. #ElonEd
A1. new tech creates can create more possibilities for participation, collaboration, & audience. jury is out on if those possibilities are being realized in ways that affect teaching & learning on large scale #eloned

Q1: How has educational technology changed over the past several years? How have these changes affected teaching and learning? #ElonEd
A1: It gives Ss and Ts the ability to move around the room and connect. Ss are no longer bound to only interacting w/ those in the class. They are can also not bound to a single class room. #ElonEd
Yes! There is now more concern about the amount of screen time young people have. Teachers must be aware of that when planning how they use tech in the classroom (or outside the classroom). #ElonEd
A1: Well, as you can see from the side conversation about outdoor tech, one big change has been the shift from getting students connected to getting them to disconnect! #ElonEd
A1: The conversation around planning for tech integration has change. Thinking about it intentionally instead of as the cool new thing has allowed for Ss to take more ownership in their learning via tech. #eloned
A1: 1st-ubiquity. More present than ever. 2nd-connectedness. Stu and T constantly connected to families, news, entertainment. 1&2 have brought a critical need for understanding actual&virtual self. Who we are, what we know, all constantly moving. #ElonEd

Yes! And students don't even realize how lucky they are! It's also interesting how quickly they learn how to use tech. even when they've never seen it before! #ElonEd
A1: Opportunities for communication and collaboration have been expanded by technology. Students can use technology to share their learning with others. #ElonEd

Most of us have learning devices with us 24/7. Learning doesn't just happen at school or in a brick and mortar school. Google makes our job irrelevant if we haven't adapted and changed the way that the students interact with the information.#eloned
Q1: The real game changer to me has been miniaturization. When a phone can suddenly replace major functions of a computer, camera, clock, newspaper, book, calculator, pen and notebook, etc, AND it's magically connected to the Internet, it changes what's possible. #eloned
A1. Tech always seems to get smaller, smarter, and more connected but what most teachers do with it remains to stay the same. Hope to disrupt that. #eloned
examples of potential of digital technology to change teaching & learning include the Global Read Aloud #GRA17 - check out research here-> https://t.co/9mCWxbbaXI#eloned
A1: Technology has allowed for more sharing of information for both teachers and students. Teachers can collaborate with other teachers and students can share their knowledge outside of the classroom walls #eloned

#ElonEd A1: students can collect evidence no matter where they are by taking a picture. They can share their learning with #booksnaps or @Flipgrid instantly. Conversations across the globe can happen regularly where they couldn't exist before.
A1.2 Now we seem to be moving toward using tools people already have (phones, laptops) to create products. The best of these tools are not locked to specific content area and allow a lot of personal freedom. #eloned
A1: Consider “Google Cardboard”. Classes can now take a field trip to the Arctic or travel through a mitochondria without even leaving the classroom. Tech provides so many opportunities for exploration and learning. #ElonEd

Q1: How has educational technology changed over the past several years? How have these changes affected teaching and learning? #ElonEd
A1: Students and teachers have gained the ability to connect with people from all walks of life and all over the world. It makes learning about other cultures, people, and places much more accessible and engaging #ElonEd
A1: There is still a stigma of phones in schools…tech keeps changing and Ss need to be taught how to utilize their tech…not have it be taken away #ElonEd
As a parent, screen time is still an issue. I'm not ok with my second grader spending most of his day in front of a screen, regardless of how he's using it. It's bad for adults and it's bad for kids. Moderation and balance are important. #ElonEd
Already have to remember that the pedagogy comes before the tech. Every time. Does the tech simply replace or are you actually using it to do something you couldn't do before? #eloned
#ElonEd A1: students can collect evidence no matter where they are by taking a picture. They can share their learning with #booksnaps or @Flipgrid instantly. Conversations across the globe can happen regularly where they couldn't exist before.
True - but how many of us are helping Ss be authors of appropriate, meaningful content and curating their own network of information and collaborators? #eloned
Q1: Also wanna add in as the guy who does the social media presentation for the incoming first-years: We now HEAVILY rely on these devices to document, filter, and share our experiences #eloned
Hi Everyone! I am just popping in for a few minutes! I'm Liv from Durham, NH! I'm 10 and I hope I can add some #stuvoice to your chat! #ElonEd#KidsCanTeachUs#LivBIts
Completely agree. I could say the same thing about the amount of time dedicated to drill and kill content practices. Broaden standards and focus on critical skills. Content will come naturally. #ElonEd
As much as I hate it when students SnapChat in class, it feels like a victory when they want to snap their lab activities to their story - brings more kids into the physics classroom! #ElonEd
Already have to remember that the pedagogy comes before the tech. Every time. Does the tech simply replace or are you actually using it to do something you couldn't do before? #eloned
We do a digital leadership project that students build a digital portfolio of evidence of their creations that they've become digital leaders. Virtual and F2F audience evaluates. #eloned
@Desmos !!!!!!!!! It has Ss interacting with others in the class and the teacher all at once! It can be used for other subjects than just math too! It makes learning more clear and builds communication #ElonEd
A2: I love Google classroom. I used it as a way for Ss in all different classes to collaborate. It is great to see what the Ss are doing as they are doing it. #ElonEd#edu401

Districts need a specific 5-year plan that includes updates. Often it's easier to do partial rollouts than get everyone on the same page at the same time. But, in the end, we spend our money on what's important to us. If tech isn't important it won't be supported. #ElonEd
Digital tools (if used effectively) give students the skills (such as collaboration) that will be necessary to succeed in the twenty-first century world. One of my favorite tools is Popplet! #Eloned

A2: I'm excited to use plickers for the first time! And I love Google Forms Quiz features. Real time data and feedback for my students for both of these! #ElonEd
They could make booksnaps, mathsnaps, labsnaps, etc. Sharing out their learning is important not only for them but also to assist their peers. If you have 20 Ss and 20 Qs, make each S an expert on one problem. Snap then. Put story together! #eloned
A2: I'm teaching a lesson this week about navigating Argentina and will use Google Cardboard so the students can feel like they are actually there. It helps make learning more engaging! #eloned
A2: I also follow a physics teacher who has their students tweet out a summarization of what they learned that day. I'm definitely going to be stealing that soon! #ElonEd
A2: One of my favorite tools to get instant data from kids is @goformative. Good conversations can result from seeing live responses! Also great for in the moment interventions! #ElonEd
BLOGGING and twitter an amazing use of tech for teachers! Even the worst blog or tweet is better than none! Share your wisdom and reflect with others! #ElonEd
A2. google suite of tools are my favorite - enables students & teachers to do some things that are very hard without the tech. really wish i had them from the outset of my teaching #eloned
@Desmos !!!!!!!!! It has Ss interacting with others in the class and the teacher all at once! It can be used for other subjects than just math too! It makes learning more clear and builds communication #ElonEd
Have them make a Google Earth tour. Shows they know geography, language, culture and custom. Then PUBLISH it. Tourists can then actually use it! #eloned
Q2: Hard to pick just one, but I will say some colleagues and I have really been enjoying @SlackHQ for behind the scenes team building and communication. I could see it working well in a school environment. #eloned
My favorite tools let student exercise their creativity with few barriers. Online comic creators, video editors, etc. Tools that have educational applications as well as personal/professional ones. #eloned
A2: The tools are not the devices anymore. Platforms, apps, sites that allow amazing to happen. Faves right now: VR stuff (Cardboard, Expeditions, Thinglink), Padlet for backchannel disc. VR tools are inspirational, motivate creation, BC disc. allows quiet stu to partic. #ElonEd

A1: I think kids need teachers who encourage us to be CONNECTED. I love the world more b/c I am a #ConnectedLearner. There's MORE good online than bad. Encourage me! #ElonEd@NLearning@globalearner
Yep. Love that high schools are using Google Tools. More Ss know Docs, etc. before getting to me. I prefer tech that can grow/move with them and isn't proprietary to one school, district, or university. #ElonEd

As a Computer Science teacher, I’m passionate about integrating coding into all disciplines. I’m a fan of @scratch and @MITAppInventor. I encourage everyone to consider how coding may fit into their specific subject areas. Coding teaches students how to problem solve. #ElonEd
I love @GoNoodle for younger elementary students! I like how it integrates learning, technology, and physical activity to provide students with movement breaks that still have some educational value #ElonEd

You could also have one person/group make a tour with directions and then have another person/group follow their directions to see if it's correct. Peer evaluation instead of teacher evaluation. Real world right there! #eloned
A3: Great question. Planning for tech integration needs to happen just like planning for no tech integration. When picking tech it's important to consider learning goals and purpose. If these don't align, then tech shouldn't be used #ElonEd
Agreed. I did this with real maps for years. I still think using real maps is a skill that students need to develop, but @googleearth opens up so many possibilities! #ElonEd
In reply to
@MrsMurat, @bschoenblatt24, @googleearth
Also need to keep in mind that there are two categories of digital tools: ones that make tracking and feedback easier for Ts, and the ones that transform learning for Ss. Both are important #elonEd
A3: Using tech as a way to keep Ss busy is a double-edged sword. If students are doing something meaningful, then thats great. If they are using it for fun, usually those against tech in schools use that as ammo for it to be removed. Comes down to classroom management. #ElonEd
A3: Great question. Planning for tech integration needs to happen just like planning for no tech integration. When picking tech it's important to consider learning goals and purpose. If these don't align, then tech shouldn't be used #ElonEd
A3: Follow students' lead is my answer to both questions. I have lots of Ss who prefer not to use tech at certain points in their thinking/writing. #ElonEd
A3: It depends. It depends. What are your goals? What tools do you have? Is there a better way to do it? #eci201 is doing some work this week that the old me wants paper for - but does not fit with the aims and (so far) process of the class. No paper for me :( #ElonEd
Allows students to immerse themselves in a land, culture, etc that chances are they may never see. Yes, real map great for directions, but tech takes it to another level! #eloned

@scomorrison, @bschoenblatt24, @googleearth
A3: Digital tools should not be used for the sake of using “digital tools”. Educational technology should be used to authentically support curricular goals and the implementation should be well planned. #ElonEd
A2: Also love @padlet True story I was just at a conference with lots of imp people talking about #stuvoice. Then when I am standing there IN PERSON they don't talk to me. Sometimes grown ups like their message more than the kids they talk about teaching #eloned#KidsCanTeachUs
A3: Technology should only be used in the classroom when it aligns with instructional goals and objectives and contributes to learning. Integrating technology just to integrate technology doesn't benefit anyone if it isn't aligned #ElonEd
Yes! BUT...choose and refine the use of the good ones - the learning curve for Ts and Ss mean that time is lost when we switch platforms/tools too often (Google Classroom works, lets not add another LMS *cough*cough*) #eloned
a3. everything in moderation. young people need to have opportunities to engage w/ tech for learning, & also to disengage from tech & the constant stimulation of notifications #eloned
A3: Digital tools should not be used for the sake of using “digital tools”. Educational technology should be used to authentically support curricular goals and the implementation should be well planned. #ElonEd
How often do we go into things and deviate along the way? If we say no tech in the initial plan, do we not limit the opportunity to deviate and discover? #ElonEd
In a sense, but kids are used to accessing 360 degree tours of everything and are engaged by what looks real and engaging. Not too many kids will look at a flat map and get as excited as they would for virtual tour. #eloned
In reply to
@profpatch, @scomorrison, @bschoenblatt24, @googleearth
A3: I try to be more organic. Ss take and use tech if they want, but it isn't always required. Sometimes books are better, sometimes they aren't. Ss can figure it out. #eloned
Student choice is very important. I believe that teachers should always provide alternative options for students who would rather not use technology. #ElonEd
A3: Follow students' lead is my answer to both questions. I have lots of Ss who prefer not to use tech at certain points in their thinking/writing. #ElonEd
A3. Also tech integration shouldn't be noticeable. It shouldn't be an event in your class. It should go unnoticed, but necessary when it benefits learning. #eloned
Can I say how grateful I am a vendor isn't in on A3? We're thankfully missing out on their "groundbreaking," "revolutionary" product that's going to "reinvent education." #eloned
Back channels can also help clarify things when a student doesn't want to ask for clarification. It is, however, important that students hear others thinking and opinions. Real life discussion is 💯 important. #eloned
This happened to me my first year. I didn’t realize Ss didn’t know how to use certain programs I was really familiar with! Spending a day to teach them is worth gearing from the curriculum #ElonEd
Unless they have teacher feedback! I love vendors that employ current classroom teachers and have open door policies on feedback! cough @saseducator cough #ElonEd
A3. Use tech to offer your students understandings/experiences/problems to take them deep into learning. Don't use tech for things that are DOK 1 and can be done just as easily with a pencil. #ElonEd
In addition to teaching students how to use the technology, we need to teach them how to use it appropriately! Students need to understand the rules and procedures before being able to use technology in the classroom #ElonEd
Agreed. But that's about directions and names, not exploring what a terrace actually looks like when you are climbing up it or that it actually rains in a rainforest, or walking through the Myan ruins. #eloned

Q4: What are some challenges students and teachers face related to digital tools? How can those challenges be overcome? Do you have any examples to share? #ElonEd
I always recommend profs spend first day teaching the classroom tech. Yes, Ss can figure out sites, but only when they want/need to—not usually the case w/classroom websites. #ElonEd

A3: Late on this one - so mostly paroting what everyone else has said. Tech needs to not get in the way of the goal. If it does, then its the wrong choice. Tech should support the goal and, if possible, stretch it #ElonEd
Q4: What are some challenges students and teachers face related to digital tools? How can those challenges be overcome? Do you have any examples to share? #ElonEd
There is so much you can teach from simple paper folding. You have to know how a physical material reacts to applied forces before design digitally #eloned
A4: When people within districts limit the opportunity for students to learn because the stigma some apps carry with them. Really it should show the need educate digital citizenship #ElonEd

A4: Even though technology is meant to be "the great equalizer" it often ends up dividing students even more. First, physical devices are needed for students to use (either BYOD or school owned). Next, there needs to be adequate wifi! Finally, teacher training is needed #ElonEd
A3. Use tech to offer your students understandings/experiences/problems to take them deep into learning. Don't use tech for things that are DOK 1 and can be done just as easily with a pencil. #ElonEd
We also have to be cognizant that a digital divide can exist between students in the same classroom. It is our job as educators to help ALL students gain skills to decrease the divide! #ElonEd

Thank you, #eloned, for letting me join in. Time for bed. Alarm goes off in 6 hours! Have an inspired week filled with positivity and kindness. If it's not, be the positivity and kindness that's missing!
A4: Access out of school. Some Ss get lots of time to play with tools at home (and come to class with experience) while others don't. They're all close to the same page content-wise, but not always close when it comes to tech literacy. #eloned
A4: The most finite resource an educator has is time. Technology demands plenty of time for teachers to learn it, learn what it can do for students, incorporate it into your pedagogy/curriculum/instruction, and teach the students to use it well. #eloned
A4: It's important to understand that not all ss have equal access to tech at home & this may lead to a gap in understanding of how to use tech & how to use it appropriately. We can't operate under the assumption that all students know how to use it, we have to teach them #ElonEd
That's what I was thinking. I'm trying to figure out a way to authentically add it into the classroom. I've seen it implemented in engineering classes and I'm obsessed #eloned
A3: I think most kids want to use tech but have teachers who are AFRAID to use tech. I think tech SHOULD ALWAYS be an option for learning. Give kids a choice for how to show their learning. Let us create! #ElonEd@KathyJBuckley@PanaAsavavatana@cyndisueboo
A4: I watched middle school students spend 15 minutes logging on to laptops. They were supposed to take a diagnostic test. They weren't going to be able to finish in time. #sigh#ElonEd
A4: There are two main challenges in tech integration. Firstly, teachers are often wary of tech. There’s nothing wrong with that! It’s important to take time to think about how connected your classroom should be and the best ways of integrating tech. #ElonEd
Q4: What are some challenges students and teachers face related to digital tools? How can those challenges be overcome? Do you have any examples to share? #ElonEd
Seesaw is great, but we are using GoogleSites for this year - everything they do is already there and kids can upload pics to their drive to insert. #eloned
A3: My friend @mbfxc says don't put learning in a box! My mum says tech adds DIMENSIONS to my learning! I say tech helps me love, learn, and care more about the world! #ElonEd
"Media Use in School-Aged Children and Adolescents" - This policy statement focuses on children and adolescents 5 through 18 years of age. Research suggests both benefits and risks of media use for the health of children and teenagers. https://t.co/TwEgt6pwGs#ElonEd
Excited to use @plickers tomorrow when I teach my first geometry lesson! Making sure to give my students a test run prior to actual questions to ensure I receive reliable data #ElonEd#Edu401
Heard an example of this last week. School has tech cards for all teachers. If you teach someone something about tech, you get a sticker. Certain number of stickers gets you gift card to local coffee shop. #ElonEd
If students are using technology at school, I believe that the teacher has a role to play in helping students learn how to use technology responsibly. This can be as simple as discussing copyright, online discussion etiquette and building a respectable online presence. #ElonEd
A5: We make sure they feel supported and know they have someone to look to for help on integrating tech. It also opens up opportunities for cross-content projects while incorporating tech. #ElonEd
A5. Do some of the heavy lifting at first to make it feasible for the newbie. Sorry but if I gotta spend hours to figure it out, I'm not using it (even if it is a https://t.co/ZHBdl2psa3 tool) #ElonEd
A5: Establish appropriate expectations. A new app might make their life easier, but only if they're willing to experience some struggle learning to use it. Learning to use technology is still learning, and it still requires struggle, experimentation, reflection. #eloned
What a neat idea! And going back to PD - I feel like it could be really cool to do one of those quick sharing sessions like at Ed Camps where we just spit out cool tech we know about! #ElonEd
A5: Encourage them to start with simpler (for student and teacher) and less time consuming tools and build on that as their digital literacy and comfort level with technology grows. It's all about taking smaller steps towards a larger (sometimes intimidating) goal! #ElonEd
A4: The time to learn it yourself, time to 'play' with it in lesson planning. Time for Ss to learn to use it. It's especially frustrating when you spend that time for a dud. Ts that have been burned by the time loss are reluctant to try new things #ElonEd
A4: Second issue is availability. Even today, many students may not have internet access or a computer at home. Teachers cannot rely on students bringing their own devices to school for class work. There will be students left behind. #ElonEd
Q4: What are some challenges students and teachers face related to digital tools? How can those challenges be overcome? Do you have any examples to share? #ElonEd
From the Instructional Technologist perspective: I'm really interested in what vexes an instructor or student. Then, if there's an appropriate technology-based solution, I offer support and training. Minds seem to open when you're helping someone #eloned
A5: Empathize with them. Tech is hard and doesn't always make things better. It can fail spectacularly. Then think about sharing a lesson or tool. #eloned
A5: Offer to use them TOGETHER! Team teach, find solutions together. Have STUDENTS help! Teach a small group of stu to be experts, have them help implement. #ElonEd
A5: I think if teachers are resistant they need to move over and make room for new teachers. Digital learning is MY future! I deserve to learn WITH digital tools. #ElonEd

Thank you for participating in tonight’s #ElonEd chat! The next chat is on 11/26 & Dean @annadamsbullock of @Elon_Ed will be moderating!
Thank you for such a fantastic conversation - it was worth missing my bed time, that's for sure!
