This is a great checklist. I feel like I do pretty well on these items for my students. Ones that I could use more attention to are reflecting and exchanging through technology, as well as engaging with other educators face to face. One item on the list that I am unsure of how to do would be to model and be present on social media. I suppose this could be done and taught through a mock account. I am not friends with students or parents on social media. I prefer a disconnect between professional and social life.

# data[].attributes.body
I give my students opportunities to be creative and display their learning in different ways. I also teach lessons on staying safe online and being good digital citizens. I model growth mindset and feel that I would enjoy being a student in my class. I do not have opportunities for students to blog or do digital portfolios. I have not invited others into the classroom as guests or involve myself on social media with students or parents. I don't get many chances to be face-to-face with other educators at conferences. Many of these things I do not do are because of time constraints in my library lessons/days or lack of knowledge such as with e-portfolios.

# data[].attributes.body
I do all of these things except for student blogging and digital portfolios. I would like to learn how to incorporate these into my classroom! Cindy Burns

The list has many great ideas, some of which I already do, and others that I need to implement in my teaching.

I need to step out of my comfort zone and allow my students to learn new creative technology programs. I need to let go of the control and allow them to learn safely and responsibly along with me.

I looked at the list items that pertain to my grade level and they are a good reminder to continue to add and be innovative with tech in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
The tech checklist is a good reminder that there is so much technology and teaching students to find a way to organize and use it in a way that makes sense to them. For example, in their Google Classroom, work just piles in there without any resemblence of organization. I could be better by supporting them with that.

# data[].attributes.body
The checklist is a great resource to use in my classroom. I tend to do some of the things on it more than others but would like to get better at using them all.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the checklist and the graphics it contained. It reminded me of the things to do in the classroom. I always allowed my students to be creative and to help one another. Sometimes a student can get the point a crossed better than the teacher. Educator workshops are a super way of connecting with fellow teachers to see what is working for them. I always enjoyed attending them.

The growth mindset modeling is key...but I make sure I don't confuse a viewing a student's growth mindset as just completing a to-do list of tasks or mastery levels. I find this is often the case...reaching mastery and moving on is very different from a growth mindset.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a great checklist of incorporating technology into the classroom. I do many of these things occasionally, but not consistently. I would like to continue to add more opportunities for students to be creative with all assignments, instead of just some.

# data[].attributes.body
I use technology in my classroom for multiple subjects. I believe checklists are important and have them visible where needed. With the increase in testing requirements, I struggle with having them on the wall as we have to cover them during testing windows. That is my only struggle for this technique.

# data[].attributes.body
This checklist has many great ideas on how to integrate technology into the classroom. I hope to use many of them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I do some of these but I don't do others. Currently, I give my students a lot of chances to be creative, display their learning in different ways, and I think I would love to be a student in my own class. Therefore, I teach first grade and I am finding it challenging to integrate technology into our classroom at times.

In my classroom there are several things that I do, but there are also a bunch I don't do. They do have the opportunity to be creative , display their work, and step out of their comfort zone. However I don't feel like my students are quite at the age to be present online through or social media yet. But we constantly discuss internet safety.

My students have tons of opportunities to create in my classroom! (I am an art teacher.) Currently I do not have a presence on social media. It had become to distracting for me and so I am taking a break from it.

I need to be more consistent integrating technology into the classroom when appropriate. I try to give students different ways to complete the tasks at hand.

I am continually using technology in my classroom. However, sometimes it is in the Substitution form of the model. I must come up with more ways for the students to create things. This shouldn’t be that hard with all of the new tools out there. I’m also interested in having the students discuss things with students from afar. This will also be on my checklist! Stephanie

# data[].attributes.body
I use technology consistently in the classroom, but it is not always used in a way that includes choice and creativity.  Unfortunately, it takes a ton of front-loaded work to make the learning interesting and transformative, which is a barrier to me using technology in more effective ways in the classroom.

There are several things on this checklist that I do, but there are several I do not. Some of the things I do not have include items that I simply don't know how to do (like a digital portfolio), and some I'm not sure how to work into my content area, and others I have just never thought about doing.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classroom I allow my students to display their learning through many different ways and they can always be creative. I incorporate things like Kahoot and Padlet, but do not yet use a digital student portfolio. I some day would love to have digital portfolios for my students. I am always learning and growing as a teacher so I can be the best teacher for my students as well.

Looking at the checklist, it could look totally overwhelming. Although if a teacher made it a habit to follow the checklist weekly, a classroom would be so full of learning. "Learning and happy students." When you dont have to fight the battle with the kiddos, dont, let them explore and teach you as an adult something. It will open the door to even greater minds.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's a great checklist. I like that it includes a combo of digital and face to face items. The list is a good way to reflect on my own practice and think about what I can change or include next school year.

As a substitute teacher, I will sometimes completely run out of things to do. Sometimes the teacher I am subbing for doesn't give me enough to do with the students. I usually take this as a chance to inspire learning among the kids by pointing them towards a fun interactive online activity they could do online. Sometimes Ill ask the kids to make inspirational posters on canva.com. Other times I will have tell them to build their dream home at homestyler.com. Its a fun way to kill time!

I WOULD want to be a student in my classroom! I am so glad that this was on the list and should be the first on the list. I always planned my classroom the way that I would have wanted to learn. We used wiggle chairs, tables, the floor, couches, yoga balls and mats, the white board, iPads, laptops and even standard paper and pencil. Students were allowed to use the method that works best for them. In my small rural classroom, it worked amazing. It was just very difficult, and in the end impossible, to get the tiny school board on the same page.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite is "I would like to be a student in my class!" This really got me thinking about so many aspects of my day with my class. We don't have digital portfolios, and I'm not sure which grade level that is appropriate for.

# data[].attributes.body
The checklist was very validating. When I had my own classroom, I provided many opportunities for so many of the things on the checklist. However, I also found myself thinking about things I didn't do and how I can help make opportunities for teachers I work with in my new role outside of my own classroom.

I love the idea of this checklist. I do some of these things in my classroom. I hope to incorporate more.

The checklist is a very interesting read. I find that I give my students opportunities to be creative and to expressive themselves within my classroom. A few things that I don't do is have my students create digital portfolios or blogging. I think the reason behind this is I am not exactly sure where to start with it and to be honest where to find the time in the day to incorporate it.

As an educator, I always want to give my students opportunities to be creative. After reviewing this list, I find that I need to give them more "technological" ways to display their creativity like blogging, using digital portfolios, and creating virtual classroom activities. I also need to incorporate teaching safe digital use and digital citizenship. I like reflecting on #10 and always want to be striving to ensure that I would want to be a student in my own classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I truly believe as an educator; we have the responsibility of creating positive, progressive experiences. I think the use of technology can be modified for integration in lesson plans for all ages, including preschool. Technology grants us access to resources and information that is crucial the students have an understanding of; for the world that they are entering.

I try to do a lot of these things in my classroom, but number 9 resonates with me personally. I teach growth mindset from the very first day of school and it is especially important when we move to high technology use, some students get frustrated easily when we try new apps, even I do, and it is great to always be able to fall back on Growth Mindset. The idea of a digital portfolio is very interesting and exciting to me, I worked under a teacher who let her students write a blog every friday--definitely something I want to pursue in my classroom one day.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel pretty good about my classroom structure after reading through this checklist! I allow a LOT of creativity in my STEM classroom, where I have no set expectations for any student. I allow their creations to speak for themselves without sticking to a concrete rubric. Most of my students have found new confidence in themselves since I let them take charge of their learning and decide on their own final products. When we were using Google Classroom, that was their opportunity to showcase their work digitally, and engage in online classroom discussions, similar to blogs, monitored by me. One thing I could do better on is inviting experts into my classroom. I find it hard to do with our schedule the way it is, but I still could find a way to make it happen more often. I'll continue to work on that. I am looking forward to using YouTube interviews and specials as "guest speakers," though. That's the easiest way for me to get a guest speaker for all 430 students that I see every 10 days.

# data[].attributes.headline
I believe that I do allow students to be creative in my class and show their learning in several different ways. Something I have not done yet is doing more growth mindset things in the classroom and connecting with educators outside of my school. I am starting out in a new grade this year, and am trying to start out just connecting with my mentor, etc but would love to branch out more as the school year goes on.

I incorporate some of these ideas into my classroom (giving an opportunity to be creative, showcasing work in different ways, teaching kids to be responsible online). I would like to improve in using technology more collaboratively. I love the idea to have students create a digital portfolio that would be accessible to their families and other students for discussion/comment. Inviting virtual guests into the classroom is also a great idea!

# data[].attributes.body
I do some of these in my classroom. I would really like to make portfolios to share with parents that we add to each week/month.  We are so restricted with schedule that I have a hard time letting them be creative which makes me very sad.  I have had Chromebooks for three years now so I am getting better with doing more on them. I think I would enjoy being student in my classroom because I really try to make it fun!

One positive thing that came out of the pandemic is the wide variety of technology based programs I have learned and began using in my classroom.  Last year, we were in person learning the whole year but were unable to do field trips.  I set up google meets so outside speakers could talk with my class.  I love using technology in my classroom and am always looking and researching ways to add it to my room to help my students become more digitally aware.

While teaching in the classroom, I incorporated technology into my classroom daily.  As a Professional Learning Consultant/Coach this past year has taught me to completely transform my use of technology. I've observed teachers across the country re-learning to teach in 100% digital-remote environments.  This shift in education has brought forth the need to embrace technology, and stretched teachers, as well as myself, as we expand our knowledge and skills while relying 100% on technology to teach our classes.

I wonder how often or how much each of the items on the list need to be done. Is there an ideal amount? I also wonder if there is a list of what students might gain or lose if the items on the checklist are done or not done regularly throughout the school year.

# data[].attributes.body
I am doing a few of these in my classroom however, I began developing the pre-school in my school this year. I follow the Mt. state MELs that encourage students at this age in developing stronger fine motor skills. I try to always be open in teaching my students with technology also.

# data[].attributes.body
When I was a teacher, I tried to incorporate technology in my classroom everyday. I was one of the 5 teachers to start out with 1 to 1 ipads in their room. I tried to use them everyday trying to stay out of the "comfort zone". I believe all the students in my classroom loved to learn because everyday was always different. I believe that checklist would have been hung in my classroom when I taught!

# data[].attributes.body
As  a teacher, I'm always learning and adding to what I do.  Some years I seem to do better with the items on the checklist than others.  I have several projects where students get to design and present information in a way they choose, I do try to get out of my comfort zone and allow students to show me what they know with technology (they have taught me a lot).  However, there are some areas where I can do better.  We do not have digital portfolios this year (but we just got to 1:1 computers so maybe we can work on this), and I like the idea of bringing in experts.  We do a lot of finding videos, but not live humans for conversation.

I think that if I would have answered this question last year, I would have had a very different answer. The current Pandemic has not only given me a nudge into being more active with technology in my classroom, but has full on pushed me out over the edge. I have always tried to bring technology, creativity and collaboration into my classroom, but again, really had to go above and beyond my comfort level. A.Price

I was doing good on the first three check points on the list and as it went further down the list, the further my class was from accomplishing these tasks. This is only my second year teaching and I feel that technology in the classroom is still such a foreign thing. I am trying my best to include it more. Sometimes I have no idea where to start since I only use the basic technological devices and apps in my own every day life.

I do about half of these things regularly in my classroom. Teaching preschool, some of these things are possible but not used as often as they would be in older grades. I will work more on integrating more and more technology every year.

I struggled a bit with this checklist, to be honest. I feel my students have opportunities to be creative, to express themselves in different ways... However, I teach part-time kindergarten so I find parts of this list challenging. Not only do time constraints make some of this difficult for me but also the level of student ability as 5/6 year old. I do believe I can give them a good start on many of these skills, but some of these would be much easier with older students (such as individual blogging). I also still feel kids this age need to practice  writing with paper and pencil to establish necessary skills (e.g. handwriting, fine motor skills). I love the idea of becoming a more global class through the use of technology and am interested in further development of that this school year.

I do many things on this checklist.  I would love to be a student in my classroom.  I love technology but have allowed myself to steer away from allowing my 6th graders to use it.  I need to encourage good citizenship and believe in my students and have them set up their digital identity.  I have never blogged.  This is something I hope to be able to do this year.  I would also like to connect globally with other classrooms.  By having my students use technology for learning, I hope they understand it more and this will eliminate some of the negative social media mishaps.

Students have different ways to be creative in my classroom, however as I reflect on this part of the assignment; I think I need to be more tech savy. For instance, I've never blogged or done live video chats in the classroom. I need to reach outside my comfort zone to engage in more of these activities.

I am getting better about implementing technology in my classroom.  I do several items on the checklist but would like to work on a digital portfolio for my students.  I do not connect with my students on social media as that is not allowed at my school.  We just created a web page for parents to see lessons, news and email teachers with questions.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not do most of the items, but I am interested in learning about digital portfolios to display their progress and visit other students from other places. My class does a lot with Seesaw  which is family-friendly. But, I do question connecting kids with social media. I try to stay away because I am often disappointed in the manner adults use social media. Perhaps, our kids could value face to face socializing more than digital , keep it real.

Checkllist Reflection:                  I feel that I do most of the items on the checklist as a classroom teacher.  I think children learn best in a creative and divergent classroom environment. Relationship and interactivity is key to students enjoying their time in the classroom and I have always made it a point to make my classroom a place I would want to be.  If I am excited to be there, the students will as well. If they know I care about their success, they care as well.  I would like to have done more with digital portfolios and the idea of student blogs as I think it further empowers learners.

I do a fairly good job of modeling a growth mindset and stepping out of my comfort zone. I believe that teachers must model their best practices to the students. Having a growth mindset in education is so vital to be able to learn new ideas and apply them in differing situations. I feel like an area that I can improve upon is the creation of a cumulative type digital portfolio. I have them create digital products/projects but often don't have a system in place to then truly incorporate it into a portfolio. I think this is a valuable goal that will help students throughout their careers.

Before reading the checklist, I felt that I probably would do ok on the list. Turns out I am not as thorough as I wish to be. I was just reading up on digital portfolios to incorporate into the technology portion of teaching in the library, this is something that I feel will allow me to allow the students more freedom and creativity. I don't know why I don't do #5, but I wish that I did. It is something to work on and I feel would inspire students in the classroom.

As a science teacher I make sure my students have every opportunity to be creative and share their reasoning behind their creativity.  Each science unit we complete they get to do a final project where they can take any topic we discussed during the unit and dive deeper into their topic and design a way to present their findings to the class.  One of the most creative presentations I had was two students baking a Sun Cake and presenting the different layers of the sun while handing out slices.  Yum!

I am good at modeling how using social media to connect with other and being responsible for my own kids. I encourage student teachers to use creative ways to assess students and come up with alternative assignments. I don't encourage them to connect with the digital world to broaden their knowledge. Rather I discourage it, in fear of the safety concerns. This is something I would like to be more open to and find a platform that encourages exploration in a safe manner.

I always try to ensure that my students are practicing internet safety skills.  Something that I do no do with my students very often is reflective blogging - this is an area that I could do better in and need to figure out how to get the time in my day to do so.

I really enjoyed the checklist and found a lot of good ideas on it. I think that we use a lot, if not all, of these in our household/classroom. The most useful one I have found for my child is the opportunity to display and archive her work so that she can look back and see her progress.

I thought that the check list was very interesting. I felt like one thing I do well is having a pretty good growth mindset. I feel like I am always looking for new ideas for the classroom, and I am excited to try things out when I find them. Especially new technology ideas!

I am not currently in the regular classroom, so I am reflecting back on last year. I did allow my students the opportunity to be creative. I did many different projects using technology where they got to be in charge of their learning, with me guiding them along the way. I did not invite any guests into the classroom. I always thought this would be so wonderful but never did do it.

This list is great, I think this is a great starting point for most and can be added too anytime. I know that for instance #3 & #4 are a struggle for us at the school but at this time we are working to make it better. My favorite aspect of this list, and I use it myself is the opportunity to express in creative ways.

This is a great checklist. Technology is almost limitless with what you can have students do with it. As the teacher, though, it can be so overwhelming. I like how the checklist allows us all to start out with a small, manageable task and seek mastery of that task and then move on to something a bit more complex and so on.  We all need to feel successful by increments.

I enjoyed learning about the checklist and find that I do many of these without even realizing it.  I love to post online and share what our class in learning, celebrating each milestone, birthday or success.  I also love to share their work with others through online portfolios and find that the responses are so encouraging to them individually.  Although this checklist is exhaustive, I think you'd find many teachers today are already implementing some or most of these concepts already.

I think this is an interesting checklist. Sometimes we are unable to do some of the things on the checklist due to the programs that are chosen by our district. For example, I was a much more creative teacher than I am now, because I had more time in my classroom to do more creative things before certain programs were adopted. That being said, we do often invite people into our classrooms to share their experiences and talents. This is always a fun time for both kids and teachers alike. I admit technology has become more of a thorn in my side that a help in the classroom due to all of the new restrictions and rules that are now in effect. My thoughts on this are: are we really doing a students a service by changing everything we are doing to a technology base? I´ve read several articles that state that students may possibly learn BETTER with old fashion teaching than new technology learning.

I would say that #1 and #4 from the checklist is most commonly found in my classroom through the ClassDojo app. With #1, my students have opportunities to be creative with the video and camera feature. My students create digital journals, teach lessons to their parents and/or peers, and create picture blogs. #4 My students have a digital portfolio that they share their writing, projects, and math lessons with their peers, family, and selves. I would like to focus on doing #2 more often by stepping away from the direct instruction curriculum I have to use in my classroom.

Checklist:
I love this checklist.  I do not use technology as much as I would like to in my classroom, mainly due to the limited access of it.  It requires time to teach the basics of computer use to a third grader before expanding their use of  this or any other form of technology.  That time is difficult to carve out when we have a limited number of devices with a shared system.
I have added a few new things each year to my instruction involving new tools, for the class to experiment with, while the students are doing research.
When shown the use of shared documents and being able to edit another student's work, my students were quite excited.

Amazing checklist for self-reflection! As a Title I teacher, each year I get a bit more adventurous with the tech in my classroom. I have to admit, fear is a HUGE obstacle for me!
By the end of this course, I am going to feel comfortable trying something techy to develop my student's creativity.

I would say that being an elementary music teacher I give my student's plenty of opportunities to create and display their growth in many ways. I am constantly looking for ways to go beyond my comfort zone and be willing to try new things. I think #4 on the list would be good for my students. It would be great for me to record my students' vocal and playing abilities so I have points of comparison and an option to see and hear their musical growth at a future date.  As many others have mentioned #10 is a good way to self reflect on one's teaching. It brings to my mind to not only self reflect with integrating technology into the classroom but also self reflect on my whole classroom enviornment.

Number 10 is really important and as a teacher I need to ask myself "would I enjoy being a student in my class."  Learning has changed so much since I went to school this number helps me think about what the students of today need.

I think that #10 is a question we should all be asking ourselves. In today's world we are faced with challenges that were not present when we were in school. Fortunately, I feel that I do many of the things on the list, but I do feel that I use a lot of the Substitution applications of SAMR model and I would like to be more diligent in implementing the R in the SAMR model.

My favorite thing on the list is #10, a great perspective to consider and keep in mind. I do not do very many of the things on this list, but love the idea of them all and think it is feasible to add one a month until I am doing all of them. I'm currently interested in learning more about digital footprints and being good digital citizens. I think that's the best place to start before adding a bunch of new websites/apps/programs to the classroom.

This checklist is a great tool to help me see what I'm doing with technology in my classroom and what I need to incorporate or change!

I love this little checklist!  It's one of those great tools to have on hand to just stop and see-"I am doing this?"  I definitely want to incorporate more ways for my students to utilize technology; not only to supplement their learning but also as a way for them to display and share their knowledge with others.  I am also very interested in using tools to connect the students in my classroom with kids from around the world.  I think it would be such an incredible and authentic chance for them to experience life outside of their small world.

I am beginning to learn about incorporating tech into my band/choir classroom.  My students do have the opportunity to do a few things on this checklist.  They are encouraged to be creative in class all of the time.  I know students learn in different ways and I try to teach to their unique learning.   I am looking into Google Suite and implementing as much of that as I can.  I do want to find apps that can take the place of pen and paper activities.
I invite guests into my room or take my students out to hear and discover new styles of music, see higher levels of performing.

This checklist is an excellent reminder of how to think about effective implementation of technology.  As we create and use a "makerspace" learning environment at our K-1 grade level school, we are hoping to focus on student-driven innovation!

I teach at a small rural school where our technology is limited.  I will be using the Google suite as much as possible to supplement the students learning.

Sadly, I do not do many of the things on this list, but  am hoping to :)
I would love for my students to be able to have digital portfolios to add onto throughout the year. I also would love to connect with others virtually and invite people into our classroom virtually. Maybe students from different countries and places in the world???
I feel my students know how to be safe online and how to be good digital citizens. This is something truly important to me because of all the dangers out there while using technology.

With practice, reminding myself and stepping out of my comfort zone I hope to be able to utilize this checklist! Definitely adding this checklist to my teacher tool bag to be able to implement into my classroom so I can learn alongside my students! Although I am a little skeptical about #7, I believe there are limitations when it comes to social media especially when you're a teacher!

This checklist would be a good thing to have hanging above my desk! The items on there can easily be forgotten but just as easy to implement if you are reminded on a daily basis. I do allow my students to display their learning in different ways in all subject areas. Many times I will give my students a list of different programs or activities they can pick to show me what they have learned after a unit. One that I do not use is being present online and connecting with others in social media. I think this has a place in the classroom by collaborating with other classrooms like presented in the SAMR video.

Oh boy, sadly I am lacking on a lot of these items on the list especially the top 5.  But I find this list a more useful jumping off point than the ISTE standards.  This is something I can easily refer back to and say yes or no if I am implementing.  I would like to get my students to a more creative and collaborative place with technology.  My goal for this second half of the year will be to access some global resources whether it is people or virtual field trips.
