  • TOstgarden Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: Depends on how you use it. Tech can be frustrating but also make projects awesome! #gfedchat
  • AmyAmykruger2 Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: It certainly can. Kids love it and respond to it if used with purpose. #gfedchat
  • KaileyRestad Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: Tech can help engagement in some aspects, but I believe teachers can craft a pretty engaging lesson, too. Lure them in! #gfedchat
  • MsHellyersClass Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    #gfedchat A2: It can enhance engagement, but it doesn't always need to be used.

    Q2: Sometimes and sometimes not. #gfedchat
  • LauraFoss1992 Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

  • Carlson2ndGrade Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: Kids love technology - especially when they're the ones that get to use it. #gfedchat
  • rlord050 Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

    Absolutely. Ss respond well to tech uses. It’s future of all things. Teacher goal is to provide more in class. #gfedchat
  • kalamarie03 Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

    A2: Tech is great for my visually impaired students, as it allows them to access more tasks and activities. #gfedchat

    A2 - it depends on if the tech is purposeful, does it enhance the learning? It may help visual learners connect #gfedchat

    A2: Sometimes tech makes a lesson more purposeful = engaging Ss know the authentic audience that's going to give real feedback #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Oct 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: Also a tool to find good examples for Ss; helps me create adapted materials. Again - depends. #gfedchat

    A2: Yes, when used meaningfully! Something as simple as putting adding Ss work to Seesaw has "improved engagement"! #gfedchat
  • CaelyK Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A2: It depends on the purpose of the technology. Just because it's on a device does not make it engaging. #gfedchat
  • ahovey12 Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A1: it sure can. Literally unlimited resources that are very stimulating. #WentzonMondayNight #gfedchat
