@edu_match Q2: It means finding AUTHENTIC ways to bring technology in to enhance a lesson... not BE the lesson. #edumatch

Q3. Should technology courses be taught? Why or why not? If not, please describe an alternative. #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:10 PM EDT

A2: Transformative tech integration has Ss using tech not to do the same things in new ways but new things entirely. Ss as drivers.#edumatch

Scott_Gregory12 Oct 2 @ 12:13 PM EDT

A2: Widespread, consistent use that goes beyond the T. Used for multiple layers of instruct. #edumatch https://t.co/jkCsnXac1T

Q2. Please define "technology integration." What does it look like to you? #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:13 PM EDT

A2 & A3: Yes some tech courses are great. They can be hubs for integration but strategically put critical skills at the forefront. #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@CherieDee4 @edu_match I think sometimes it can be the lesson. Ex teaching, modeling & practicing how to have an online discussion #edumatch

edu_match - Moderator Oct 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

Q4. What do you tell someone who may be staunchly opposed to integrating technology in his/her class? #edumatch

edu_match - Moderator Oct 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

Please join us next week as we talk #AR at our regular time! #augmentedreality #edumatch https://t.co/WxquzRKQUB

Scott_Gregory12 Oct 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@TeachOnTheEdge "Integration" is the next level of tech. use beyond one dimensional use. Hard to get to if you don't have supports.#edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:16 PM EDT

A3: T classes can be the place where creativity and innovation lead without fear of failure. #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@Scott_Gregory12 Support is key, from parents, leaders and even Ss. We can do more to gain S buyin as we transform classes #edumatch

Scott_Gregory12 Oct 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@TeachOnTheEdge Teacher Ed. courses did the best for me. #edumatch

CherieDee4 Oct 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@TeachOnTheEdge @edu_match Agreed, when trying to accomplish a specific objective. #edumatch

AsharaDet Oct 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

A3: Not sure everything should be in a tech course. Integration of the skills within the context of the core content is needed. #edumatch

braveneutrino Oct 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@CherieDee4 I agree Cherie. Certain courses can provide skills that can be used in classrooms and built upon. #bothAnd #edumatch

AsharaDet Oct 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

A4: That they are depriving students of the skills need to be college and career ready. Digital literacy is a requirement. #edumatch

braveneutrino Oct 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Why is so important #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@AsharaDet Through strategic #edtech integration of 21st cent skills, tech courses can be freed up to allow for more creativity. #edumatch

Rdene915 Oct 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@AsharaDet #edumatch Agreed, so many opps for #learning we need to provide for Ss

AsharaDet Oct 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

A2: Seamless and purposeful use of technology that allows students to create, innovate or perform a skill. Think of SAMR #edumatch

AtlTeacher Oct 2 @ 12:23 PM EDT

Good stuff, @iamvlewis ! #edumatch https://t.co/nxIndz3VYN

#edobstacles starts in an hour, and this is probably the most fun I've ever had preparing an event 😆 https://t.co/HfNoPjNpHp

AsharaDet Oct 2 @ 12:23 PM EDT

A2: Students not just the teacher using the technology. #edumatch

spiraledu Oct 2 @ 12:24 PM EDT

Technology need to be taught like social-emotional skills need to be taught. If we dont do it, then who will? #edumatch

@AsharaDet 30-50 %(est.) of future jobs have yet to be created. A tech "low" Ed. creates a "no man's land" employment wise for Ss. #edumatch

AsharaDet Oct 2 @ 12:24 PM EDT

Answering in reverse! Hi everyone! Ashara, School Improvement Facilitator with a Michigan ISD. #edumatch

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:26 PM EDT

A4: Tell Ts it's ok to tinker & fail forward in learning; rely on Ss for feedback; start somewhere close to your current practice. #edumatch

@CherieDee4 #edumatch #edtech So many great #digtools available to enhance learning give all SS #stuchoice #stuvoice

TeachOnTheEdge Oct 2 @ 12:28 PM EDT

@CherieDee4 @edu_match Yes, great message. When school leaders get behind a tinker culture, then Ts can feel safe & supported. #edumatch

spiraledu Oct 2 @ 12:29 PM EDT

Many people worry about "screen time", I tell them to balance. Follow a high tech lesson with a paper based option: Gives variety #edumatch

Scott_Gregory12 Oct 2 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@TeachOnTheEdge Falling with style is beneficial too. #edumatch https://t.co/BmlVPA1KnB
