-
-
A1: AOL instant messenger is a favorite of mine.
-
Check out Very cool robots that can do quite a lot
-
They are great robots that the students control through coding.
-
That's a great idea! The ability to share any student's work at any time.
-
-
Wow. I haven't heard AIM mentioned in a while. Cool, Gregg.
-
A1 Not sure what coding is.. can anyone help?
-
-
-
What do you use google photos for? projects? https://t.co/cthMrdvW7J

-
We currently use headsets, , and are hoping to begin and soon!
-
Hi ! I hear you're talking about great Tools/Toys! We love this topic! Dash and Dot are two of our favorites! ;-)
-
of course, he is a fellow Turkey Tech alumni!!
-
sprinkles of snarky here and there is always a good thing.
-
Makes it easy bc you're not tied to any desk. Mobility is a must for me. Flexible learning spaces
-
A2 I love the idea of teaching logic. Something our Ss have lost bc of standardized testing.
-
A1 The kids love the BB-8 also.
-
-
you certainly have to get creative!
-
A1: We currently use headsets, , and are hoping to begin and soon!
-
-
-
And I have . Love playing with it.
-
-
-
A2 You can cover every subject with edtech. A variety of tools for each subject and a variety of uses for each tool
-
A1: hi! I'm an early/special Ed major at cedarville university and my favorite edtech tools are a smart board and schoology!
-
-
Do the students find educational uses for it? I really want a too! https://t.co/Ih41s3pgYR
-
-
And I have . Love playing with it.
-
Hi, Amy Sellars teaching 3rd grade in Florida! Happy to drop into although I'm a little late.
-
Since our TNReady test has been cancelled, I'm excited to PLAY with things & stuffs!
-
A2: The skill of persistence is cultivated in an engaging way through problem solving presented when using these edtech toys.
-
A2 U can cover all subjects & standards.Many amazing connected toys - have curriculum to align
-
A2: You can practically cover any subject as long as the tool gets the message across effectively!
-
A2:You can teach anything with as long as you have the right tools!
-
Welcome Ashley. The SmartBoard is def a great tool. Most IMPT part is to get our students to interact w it.
-
For sure and can promote outside of the box thinking, which we don't tend to emphasize much
-
Otherwise it's just an expensive version of an overhead projector.
-
-
-
Do you think the tools available lean towards one or two subjects at all?
-
A2: From what I have used and what I am seeing, it sounds as though many of my ELA standards be covered using edtech toys.
-
A2: I've used the for LA (beg sounds and CVC words) and math. I used to retell The 3 Little Pigs this year🐷
-
A2 I love it for collaborative problem solving in any subject. Getting my kinders to work as a team is a must
-
-
A2: I use and my iPads for all subjects to write and draw thoughts/reactions/ideas.
-
A2 These tools can be used for any and every subject... it just enhances and develops the learning of the standards!
-
Yes! Collaboration and teamwork are essential!
-
These are some great examples of use https://t.co/KnJRNVz0Qp
-
-
A2: I've used the for LA (beg sounds and CVC words) and math. I used to retell The 3 Little Pigs this year🐷
-
Edtech tools don't lean to any specific subject, they just open up possibilities for learning
-
-
WOOT!!! Made it! Jumping in Tweetbuddies!
-
A2: I currently utilize our chromebooks & VR headsets in every subject! Hopefully we will get more technology soon!
-
Exactly! They're tools, and it just depends how well you can incorporate them.
-
A2 But also don't forget that learning comes first and THEN you need to pick the best tool for the job
-
-
A2: Speaking & listening strand is covered all over the place when integrating tech toys based off of dialogue/collab piece alone.
-
Connected tools/toys are never meant to replace the curriculum but provide Ss the opportunity to experience it in a new way!
-
A2 Math, Languages, Science
-
Thank you! Students enjoy the Smart Board because it allows them to exercise all of their creative abilities
-
A2 Um, pretty much all of them! Current challenge -- my students are trying to navigate a maze with their robot buddies
-
-
-
I also use chromebooks and headsets for a reading program. The students love it and it really keeps them engaged.
-
A2 - coding can connect to all subjects
-
-
I don't have any of these fun robot tools at my school :-(
-
Right! Use the tools meaningfully and not just because you have them
-
That is sick! Very cool idea. Getting video of it? https://t.co/yUXmLqGRXz
-
-
A2 Um, pretty much all of them! Current challenge -- my students are trying to navigate a maze with their robot buddies
-
Enhance the learning! Reach the untraceable!
-
And it's its own subject as well..
-
-
Hopefully that changes soon :)
-
Hi Kelly - computer science specialist k-5 in Lincoln Nebraska
-
-
we did this in K last year w/ the and the kids had to make the maze in small groups It was a great challenge.
-
A3 Definitely see Ss more engaged in content. We have to speak their dig. native language!
-
They are definitely worth the cost. Can't hurt to ask the powers that be (also can make your own)
-
We have a lesson incorporating Little Bits coming to our website soon!
-
-
A3: It depends on the individual child.Not all Ss will respond the same which is why we have a toolbox 2 pull from 2 differentiate
-
A1: Hands down favorite is Epson Bright Link Interactive Projector. Projects on any surface. Painted wall with white board paint
-
-
A3: My students are more engaged and willing to listen when you teach using . The more they listen the more they learn!
-
-
A3: I see students feeling more confident from the beginning because the learning occurs through a relatable medium...technology.
-
A3 Not always understand better but Ss are definitely more engaged and excited about activities
-
Any subject can be covered as long as the tools are being used properly and effectively
-
A3 - both - lots of collaboration when using Dot and Dash with my little
-
A3: Empowering students occurs through technology because it is a common experience we all share and have some background with.
-
-
Q3 As long as I am purposeful in my planning and not just using technology to use it
-
A3: it is all about - if the tool ups the engagement then the S's will connect better and learn more
-
A3 They want to learn and participate when technology is involved!
-
A3: I feel my Ss learn better when
I front load the infor and have them work individually or with partners for reinforcement.
-
A3 As a college student now, I understand content best when tech is involved. Always have! Not to revert back to 1,000 hrs though.
-
A3: YES YES YES! My crew NEEDS to have a game or or to really catch their undivided attention.
-
By the way is the RT to win contest winner... Be the biggest participant tonight to with one as well!!
-
-
A3: There are dif styles of learning. Games certainly increase engagement! Does having a 3D object does make it more relatable?
-
A3 tech sparks an incentive for wanting to understand, opportunities for ownership, producing own content https://t.co/xUSFa2E3e6
-
coding teaching such problem solving and collaboration
-
Great point - should never use tech 4 the sake of using it but 4 true curricular authenticity https://t.co/VT3G9LVDZN
-
-
Q3 As long as I am purposeful in my planning and not just using technology to use it
-
Here's our video of some students working on the code
-
A3 Some do, some don't. But I think in the long run, Ss become more familiar with things. Definitely helps excitement!
-
-
Scratch with Makey Makeys was a great project
-
-
Look at you ! Congrats! https://t.co/miAkYwoH4A
-
-
By the way is the RT to win contest winner... Be the biggest participant tonight to with one as well!!
-
-
-
Normally I would, but we aren't allowed to use in our district :-(
-
OK Gregg message me with your address and will send you out your prize
-
-
-
WHAT!? No way! That's pretty rad! I'd like to thank the academy! https://t.co/yDyx2NBJgm
-
-
By the way is the RT to win contest winner... Be the biggest participant tonight to with one as well!!
-
-
How do you help promote buy in? https://t.co/GCSWI3nq9Y
-
-
A3 Some do, some don't. But I think in the long run, Ss become more familiar with things. Definitely helps excitement!
-
-
A3: I think they are more willing to problem solve & keep trying 2make it work as opposed 2writing down wrong answer & moving on
-
do you have lessons to help get us started?
-
-
-
-
A3: I do believe that students learn content better with tools because it peeks their interest from the very beginning
-
A3: Yes! When Ss are actively engaged using edtech, they have a better understanding of the content than just listening to their T
-
A1 🇬🇧 Dot & Dash EV3, WeDo 2.0
-
A3 Ss are so much more engaged when learning is hands on AND MEANINGFUL!
-
actually letting them try it for themselves to make the connection & ah-ha https://t.co/o48Uq2Z6Uj
-
-
How do you help promote buy in? https://t.co/GCSWI3nq9Y
-
-
A3 Some do, some don't. But I think in the long run, Ss become more familiar with things. Definitely helps excitement!
-
Do you find it easier for students to produce truly authentic content or just more? https://t.co/zV18JL6gqo
-
-
A3 tech sparks an incentive for wanting to understand, opportunities for ownership, producing own content https://t.co/xUSFa2E3e6
-
A2: basically any subject can be covered if you use edtech tools appropriately
-
We don't even have a PTA! lol
-
-
Oh my...that is sad! Can you apply for other grants? https://t.co/1EKbKyYuOE
-
-
Normally I would, but we aren't allowed to use in our district :-(
-
Q4: Do your Ss have inhibitions using new technologies (, )? If so, how do you overcome them? https://t.co/HoUDm2bQV9
-
A2: My Ss use Minecraft to show understanding of natural resources, biomes, and to help with writing ideas.
-
If you give them freedom to choose their learning they will produce.
-
We've seen a lot of people have success with donorschoose!
-
Yes. I should try that route!
-
And by authentic, I mean educationally sound and that shows their critical thinking skills. https://t.co/zV18JL6gqo
-
-
A3 tech sparks an incentive for wanting to understand, opportunities for ownership, producing own content https://t.co/xUSFa2E3e6
-
A3 also real projects are great. Just took a group of Ss to meet our mayor - to present their info and why we need streetlights
-
Active engagement doesnt always need edtech, but you’re right-comes down 2 good teaching https://t.co/eUPkWjD9bd
-
-
A3: Yes! When Ss are actively engaged using edtech, they have a better understanding of the content than just listening to their T
-
-
A4 Most don't. They just dive in. But when stuck, they leave it. Am teaching good searching for ideas, ways of solving probs
-
Some of my higher students hesitate in coding as they don't like being wrong.
-
That's great to hear, Michael!
-
A4 Normally, no. They are SO immersed in tech, they are ready for anything I throw at them!
-
A4 Not too much -- Ss expect tech at school and are pumped to use it - they have zero at home!
-
That is amazing... pictures? video? That is true learning! https://t.co/RRlvwOdeRW
-
-
A3 also real projects are great. Just took a group of Ss to meet our mayor - to present their info and why we need streetlights
-
It's definitely a big chance accepting failure as part of the process.
-
is huge! We have every week.
-
Congrats ! So cool!! https://t.co/c2v58yYgz7
-
-
By the way is the RT to win contest winner... Be the biggest participant tonight to with one as well!!
-
A4: New tools may frighten the students because they do not know how to operate them
-
I find this to be true, to a degree. https://t.co/LjNJFpYLbh
-
-
If you give them freedom to choose their learning they will produce.
-
-
-
A5: I think this is one of the biggest diffs between Ss and Ts. Ss are not afraid to take risks with tech.
-
This is why I want to have an edcamp in my class!
-
more different, things that were not possible before, to connect and extend their ideas and thinking with the world
-
A3: yes I find that the more relatable and appealing activities are to students the more likely they will learn
-
Provide a supportive environment where Ss know its ok to try. Maybe inhibited at first but not for long! https://t.co/YMdHXtNONn
-
-
Q4: Do your Ss have inhibitions using new technologies (, )? If so, how do you overcome them? https://t.co/HoUDm2bQV9
-
I want Dash & Dot so bad! I put them on my for next year. https://t.co/CC4K9EvN2V
-
-
Hi ! I hear you're talking about great Tools/Toys! We love this topic! Dash and Dot are two of our favorites! ;-)
-
A4: my kinders 💜 new tech,But don't have the experience to keep trying if it doesn't work the first time. Also many can't read yet.
-
Our genius hour has really shown what students can do and what they can learn. When they take over their learning it is INCREDIBLE
-
Hi everyone!! Checking in from Lake Tahoe! On a work retreat so unable to participate today
-
A4: My Ss seam fairly comfortable with the toys we use because they have been exposed for several years.
-
A4: I pick something I'm not comfortable with so they can see me work through it w them-- plus they can teach me something new
-
-
Hi Jenna!! Yay! We miss you!!!!
-
That's awesome! Ss need to see us struggle and see what we do
-
-
I am excited to try some of the new edtech toys that have been discussed here.
-
-
A4 They are really good about collaborating with each other if they struggle. They know it's ok to fail too. I will help if needed
-
A4 We use tech buddies from other grade levels (and our own) to partner with our less confident Ss & get them started
-
Great point! We must model failure and perseverance. Teach Ss to problem solve and think creatively. https://t.co/Ceq1minoT8
-
-
A4: I pick something I'm not comfortable with so they can see me work through it w them-- plus they can teach me something new
-
🇬🇧 Cross circular subjects. We mostly use for STEM lessons.
-
have grant opportunity for tech -- WHAT SHOULD I BUY
-
Love all of the ideas on here....collaboration at its best.
-
I'm getting SO excited for EOY activities!! So many opportunities!!
-
Haha, love the hashtag. What grades do you teach?
-
-
What do you want your students to be able to do?
-
A4 agree letting kids see my grownup clunky fingers trying to do stuff makes them feel like pros!
-
Jealous a bit. We're only 1/4 of the way through the school year here
-
A4: when aiding in a special Ed class, students have gotten discouraged when using a laptop I find spending time to explain helps!
-
I just got a Stickbot green screen that 2 of my students are working with now.
-
In my new STEM room I would love a green screen to interact with.
-
🇬🇧 A3: More WOW moments. Practical computing, makes it real. Real life examples, linked to careers.
-
A5: Smart boards for clear presentations
-
A4: I'm in a high poverty area without much technology, so NO. They always dive in, head first.
-
I have students very interested in movie production and creating their own scripts.
-
A5 I just want 1:1 iPads! We have a cart, but I don't like to share!
-
I have a list already made!
-
would love a green screen for filmmaking, steady cam, iPads so I don't have to check out a cart each day, ozbots, a smart desk
-
A5 I’d love to see more Connected toys, - Ss deserve the opportunity to be wow’d throughout their day
-
a smart desk would be INCREDIBLE
-
-
Love this idea of being wow'd throughout the day!
-
We have a lot of LEGO Wedos and Minestorms that the kids blow me away with. I would like to learn more.
-
A smart desk is a thing? Wow! Where can I get one?
-
A5 I am looking forward to using some Vex robotics to help my Ss with collaboration and critical thinking.
-
Maria, student teacher from PA jumping in late! Loving all the tweets!
-
-
A5: I would love to get some early learning coding like that really helps my youngest S's understand
-
A5 I like the idea of green screens... perfect for MS English book projects! Students can be much creative with a movie trailer
-
I would like to see schools have a video camera that follows the teacher during a lesson for feedback
-
A5: definitely want to be in a 1:1 classroom...it makes a huge difference in student engagement and motivation!
-
A5: As I said before Smart Boards are a very helpful and effective tool
-
It’s true - Ss dropout rate is high and with more excitement in school they want to be there - https://t.co/jRJOkDHfCB
-
-
Love this idea of being wow'd throughout the day!
-
Beebots are great for younger too as well as the Wonder app
-
A5 ...and even a music video!
-
Do you use ? Check it out if not... I will retweet out your project! https://t.co/mEWYET7WOd
-
-
A4: I'm in a high poverty area without much technology, so NO. They always dive in, head first.
-
-
-
A5: I would love to have a green screen in my room. Ss would be able to utilize this when while working with and creating stories.
-
-
A5 I want a GoPro...I really think they could do awesome things with it! 🤓
-
*wavinghello* Me too!! They are hungry for tech https://t.co/jFRrRZsTKu

If Ur school or district wants 2 learn more about these amazing toys we R talking about send a message at https://t.co/fU10jwEmja
-
-
this is awesome! we haven't tried this yet
-
A5: in my future classroom I would love iPads, they really enhance learning especially for special education students
-
🇬🇧A4: Always stimulates discussion & questions. Growth mindset to keep going & test, debug. Peer collaboration.
-
very cool, easy to set up robots for teaching engineering & they have full ed lessons & comps to go with https://t.co/DA0iVt0bti
-
A5 The list is too long to write on twitter. Would love a variety of tools (green screen, more robots, arduino, makeymakeys, etc)
-
-
kids aren't scared if your room is a safe place! THEY CAN DO ALL THE TECH THINGS!!!!
-
true. But I love the idea of the tactile blocks to give directions. Some of my K's aren't ready for more in Sept
-
Same https://t.co/vQCVRfLn67
-
-
A5 The list is too long to write on twitter. Would love a variety of tools (green screen, more robots, arduino, makeymakeys, etc)

I think I could do this with the GoPro...I think I can, I think I can!
-
Effective immediately: I will be taking donations/borrowing all the fun toys you can throw at me!
-
-
yeah our district just found out that all districts around us are competing. I will post pictures :) https://t.co/qZs18MZGOO
-
-
this is awesome! we haven't tried this yet
-
my SPED kids and especially those on Aspergers spec LOVE to code!
-
-
True! It would be a great way to review a lesson by yourself or with
-
They even have a ton of math and literacy resources and I'm trying to use my own Lego in class a lot now.
-
🇬🇧 A5: Always looking for new toys & gadgets. Would love more
-
A5: A Green Screen would be awesome for announcements! Could also act out stories we read! I'd love for us to build a drone, too!
-
really? Where are you finding all of the resources?
-
A6 Robots like help Ss build skills that will B needed for jobs tomorrow that we can’t yet imagine
-
A6 Every career needs tech people! Start 'em early & speak their language. Develop early interest & watch them fly!
-
A6 working with robots gives hands ON understanding of coding - opens tons of tech doors
-
A6: This is difficult for me to answer since I really don't know anything about them. Def on my list to research.
-
Everyone, please make sure you are using the discount code DojoChat15 for a discount on any product for you or your school
-
Don't know anything about them YET
-
A6: We want every student to be exposed to technology and computer science.
-
A6: never used robots, but think it's definitely something Ss would jump on board with right away..get them excited about learning
-
I want a Microbit too...waiting for the UK to finish getting them so I can have one! :)
