QUESTION 2 ... Q2: What do you, your teachers, or your district view and the most important tech tool for instruction and why? #MEMSPAchat

btenniswood Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 I don't think it's any ONE tool. Most important is attitude& quest for best ways 2 engage &empower Ss. Willingness to try new #MEMSPAchat

DaveStefanich Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Chromebks! But my boy @jordanbeel has made it clear that it's the instructional convo along W the tool that makes the diff. #MEMSPAchat

In reply to @jordanbeel

mingchri Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: It isn't about the tool so much as the application of the tool to enhance the learning experience #MEMSPAchat

HERprincipal Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: There is no magic "app" or "program". It is about finding the right tools to make education accessible to all. #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

Absolutely. What can I do with this? How can this help my students learn? #MEMSPAchat

A2 More important than the tool is how it will be implemented by t's w/linked PD; teach tech skills across many platforms #Memspachat

MrBernia Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Clickers, or other response technology that can be used for formative assessment. It's a game changer for classroom practice #MEMSPAchat

MEMSPAchat Jan 5 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: So many believe it's about the device, the app, the program, the curriculum. NO!!! It's about the purpose and how it's used #MEMSPAchat

cwoolman06 Jan 5 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: I think the tool varies by level and content area. In elem iPads are huge for centers but at MS notebooks are becoming huge #MEMSPAchat

ForestPrincipal Jan 5 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: A tool is not worth anything unless it is used the proper way. Ipads are great in some rooms, anchors in another. #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Jan 5 @ 8:20 PM EST

Yes! There are many tools out there. Are we willing to give them a try? #MEMSPAchat

btenniswood Jan 5 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Need to know purpose behind tech b4 knowing best tech tool. What's the goal of the implementation? #memspachat

dougammeraal Jan 5 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: Most important is the tool that positively impacts instruction and learning. I believe that might be different for everyone. #MEMSPAchat

A2: Any technology that allows Ss to engage and create. Sometimes it might be a simple as a phone or other personal device. #MEMSPAchat

A2: The human mind. Tech is a tool for learning and creativity. Ss who have freedom to think 💭 and explore ultimately create #MEMSPAchat

AllysonApsey Jan 5 @ 8:21 PM EST

Yes, and lead with the learning always. And, "technology" is not always the best method. #MEMSPAchat

PughP13 Jan 5 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: We have invested in chrome books. They are great with Google Apps and the kids are really digging them. #MEMSPAchat

cwoolman06 Jan 5 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2: I don't think there is just one tool. The tool varies by level, content and teacher comfort level. #MEMSPAchat

secorsig Jan 5 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2-It's about T's pairing the appropriate device for the desired learning outcome n then we work to have those options available #MEMSPAchat
