Zoom has been a great tool for fostering a peer-to-peer learning culture. You can have students privately chat with each other and this can be a great tool for the students who are shy and don't want to speak out. Also breakout rooms are great so students can work together. My CT and I have used breakout rooms so students can work on icebreaker activities but I have personally used it for group projects in class. When students are in smaller groups they are more comfortable to work with each other which means if a mistake is made they don't get as embarrassed by it and can learn from it.

There are many different tools for use in this Virtual era, so educators have a plethora of choosing! Personally the originals, Zoom and Google Classroom, work amazing on their own. However by supplementing them with tools such as Kahoot, can create the classroom into a fun, actively engaging and interesting class! You Can use Kahoot as a tool to create fun socialized educating games for the students and yourself. Second i think the Kami-Extension app works well as well. This tool can allow students to have a good discussion while also allowing for multiple means of editing on worksheets and docs. A double plus!

I believe the benefit of using a more technological approach to teaching allows students that normally do not raise their hands to actually share their opinions. In a typical call and response style classroom, a teacher will ask a question and will call on one, maybe two, students to answer the question. The students that didn't get a chance to answer didn't get any praise and very little substance out of that interaction. Allowing ALL students to respond online gives opportunities to more students and opens up the classroom to deeper learning and discussions.

There are many ways teachers are using technology that give students the opportunity to engage and participate. The tools that I have found useful are Padlet, Jamboard and Flipgrid. These tools give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas. It can let them to be creative and interact with their peers. They can see what everyone in the class is doing and can help generate ideas for themselves. I know with younger students Flipgrid has been a great tool for students to introduce themselves to the class. It also lets the students speak their opinions or get their point across by speaking versus typing something out.

# data[].attributes.body
Zoom is a great tool to use for peer to peer learning culture. The breakout rooms feature allows students to express their ideas to a smaller group before sharing out to the main group. It is maybe less embarrassing for students if they get a wrong answer in front of their peers than in front of their teacher. Also, Zoom has a white board feature which can allow students to explain their answer to the class and put the role of teacher into their hands.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can give students an opportunity to share their thoughts by allowing them to answer prompts/assignments in a variety of ways. By giving the students options, such as Flipgrid, teachers allow for all types of students to share their thoughts. Students are comfortable sharing in a different ways, so enforcing only one way to share automatically cuts off many of the students' voices. They will still share, but the answer will not be as thoughtful as it would have been if they could share in the method they want to share.

In face to face education as well as in remote education we have to use all the resources available, but we have to make sure that the "voice" of everybody has an space. In face to face we can provide spaces to talk and discuss, as well as ballot boxes, anonymous pieces of paper fpr being read by the teacher or a volunteer of walls with notes. In the case of remote education we can make use of videoconferencing (Zoom, Teams, etc), chat, Classroom- Jamboard, and other apps and option that allow students to express in a safe way.

# data[].attributes.body
Again, using a diversity of resources, like spaces to speak in person or by video conference or voice spaces, using of chats, Real and virtual Balckboards and walls, surveys, boxes and ballots real and virtual, an the use of cards with anonymous ideas and opinions to be presented by the teacher or another student. By always making sure everyone is participating.

I think the best way to teach that is by doing and showing the students that we make mistakes and we struggle with the use of technology, with teaching and asking for help. I have seen many times students helping teachers and that provides an opportunity to calm anxiety but also to prove that mistakes are the key of learning. On the other hand technology provides a wide range of tools to provide positive feedback, praising students for their steps and helping them to realize where to improve. To have different ways of communication for assistance if required, is necessary to show students that they can have spaces for questions and help.

So similar to PearDeck, in the hangout I had with other Single Subject cohort members, a fellow classmate showed me Desmos which is a technology suite mostly catered to math, but what I liked the most about it is that you can anonymize answers, and totally cover up who might have submitted a very insightful answer, and even lets you see students interacting in real time! I really enjoyed this short introduction to Desmos because I could see it as a way to conduct discussions and have everyone provide input, and toss up a rather insightful response to the discussion, and if I know the student is shy, or not really keen on being put in the spotlight, their content can still get discussed and talked about in class to hopefully build up enough encouragement for htem to participate on their own.

There are many ways and resources to give students the ability to share their thoughts online. I think that one of the best ways of doing this is to give students a chance before and after class to check in on them over video, have them answer a question that only the teacher can see, or even have them fill out a Google Form. I really like the tools and ways that students can share thoughts and ideas over Pear deck, and Flip Grid. These tools and ideas help to ensure that all students are equally heard. I also believe that one of the most important factors in this is to ensure students that you are listening to them, and that you care about their thoughts and ideas, and that they will not be ignored at any point along the way.

# data[].attributes.headline
Although it can be hard to ensure all students get the opportunity to share their thoughts while online, some tools that I found could be helpful in changing this is flip grid and padlet. Flipgrid is a fun and easy way for students to get to know each other through an online class and also allows everyone to post their own individual video. Padlet is a great tool because all of the comments are in one area and the teacher as well as students can scroll through and read everybody's thoughts and ideas.

I think technology is great for students to share and express their thoughts. As we all transfer to online learning many of us are required to do discussion boards where we post our though on a certain subject. With this you can read and discuss ones viewpoint, nd comment your opinion regarding it.

# data[].attributes.body
One tech tool for engagement that I found useful was the Prezi Presentation. I like that Prezi gives a unique way of presenting materials that are different from google slides and power point. I think students will have fun creating their own presentations on Prezi as well. It is a great way to share ideas with one another online.

Teachers can use tools like Pear Deck to give all students an opportunity to respond from their own devices rather than the past tradition of the fastest hand raiser.  Pear Deck allows the teacher incorporate all student responses into the discussion.

I really enjoy using technology as a team building or "get to know me" exercise. I think that it is really important to establish relationships early on with your students as well as having them get together to know each other. Pear deck is also a good way to keep students engaged and allow for virtual participation. Lastly, teachers too must also talk to their students regularly and ask many questions along the way in order to encourage these engagements. in combination with positive encouragement, students will feel progressively more comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
One tool I have discussed using with my CT is Google Forms for weekly check-ins with the students. For those who are too shy to speak up during class can use this as a way to ask questions about the content. As a teacher, you can also use it as a way to simply see how your students are managing, if they need extra support or assistance in any way.

# data[].attributes.body
A tool I have used in the past to encourage peer-to-peer learning culture is JeopardyLabs. I've done this by forming small groups of 3-4 students, where each group gets the opportunity to answer a question but must choose a different representative each time so everyone is held accountable for the information. When a group is unsure of the answer, another group gets the chance to answer, until someone answers the question. If I notice it's a difficult question, then that's a great time to review the content and ask myself, what about this is difficult to my students and what questions do my students have.

Teachers can use technology to engage all learners in many ways. One of them being using the technology in their favor. Students now a days love using technology and are so good with it, so as teachers we should play to their strengths. We need to start using tools to get students to respond and interact with one another through technology. Platforms like flipgrid and many others are fun ways for students to interact with one another and learn from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
A great way to encourage peer-to-peer learning is to provide students a safe platform to share information. Having the ability to pre-record and practice their presentations is, not only a great way to share learned knowledge, but also to show that mistakes are part of the process of learning and teaching. That is why the use of flipgrid as a peer-to-peer learning tool is something that I am looking forward to trying in my own classroom.

Kahoot is a fun way to engage students in a quiz like activity with the competitiveness and joy that comes from a game. You can use Kahoot as a means to not only pre- and post-assess students, but also as a means to keep engagement lively and fun. Kids want to show off what they know, so what better way to do it than a fun quiz show formulaic app designed to do just that!

This is a great way for all students to let their opinions or ideas be heard without feeling anxious about talking in class. It might also be a great way for students who are extroverted to give them time to
refine their ideas before sharing.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can give all their students the opportunity to share their thoughts by creating an environment where they feel like their opinions and contributions matter and are valid and heard. We can use tools such as Peardeck, flipgrid and edpuzzle to engage students give them the space to process their thoughts and communicate via video or written comments. This gives the opportunity for the quiet students to voice their thoughts in new ways when they would have not been as comfortable doing so during face to face instruction - it allows for that extra bit of privacy when speaking to a camera vs. a group of people glaring at you.

# data[].attributes.body
If given the chance, technology can be a great asset to increase student participation in a more equitable manner. As the videos discussed, some learners take longer processing times than others. Although, this is completely normal it can sometimes create barriers in the class because some students may dominate the space if they are quicker to participate than others. Technology can decrease these barriers by allowing all the students to participate and let their voices be heard!

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can use technology as a way to make class more enjoyable and entertaining. As a social science teacher, the Library of Congress and the Big History Project are two tools that I would use in the classroom. They are both acceptable to history and to government. Looking at historical documents from the government is important to engage students and can make class more enjoyable than just textbooks or PowerPoints.

One ed-tech tool that is fantastic for giving ALL students the opportunity to share their thoughts if FlipGrid. Some students have great anxiety speaking in front of the class or speaking without having much time to think about what they want to say. By utilizing FlipGriid, educators can write a discussion prompt and record their response as a model for students, then students can record a video of themselves sharing their response. This allows students who need more time to process the information and plan out what they want to say, the time to do just that. And for students who want to respond immediately, they can do that as well. FlipGrid allows you to take as much time as you want in planning and practicing your response. Additionally, it guarantees that every single student will get a chance to share their thoughts, which is not something that often happens in the classroom/during a live discussion. Lastly, to make sure every student feels heard, you can ask the students to watch and comment on three different peers' videos, and make sure that everyone has at least a couple comments on their FlipGrid video.

# data[].attributes.body
In my experience so far, Pear Deck has been a great tool to get students more engaged and responding. Since Pear Deck allows for different interactions and responses, it caters to many students. Students who aren't comfortable vocally sharing find more solace in this and respond. I also get to see everyone's response at once and see where they are at in their understanding. I enjoy using google forms at the end of the day to gauge how the students are doing, share something about themselves, or plan out an office hour meeting too. See who wants one on one help.

Teachers can use technology to give all students the opportunity to engage in learning, by offering choice in responding and completing assignments. Flipgrid is an awesome tool, that allows students to practice how they want to respond, rather than just answering quickly. Using this tool, will give the students time and an opportunity to create quality work.

# data[].attributes.body
A way to use technology to get students engaged to foster a peer-to-peer learning culture is by using Zoom break out rooms and Flipgrid. This allows students to collaborate and see other students work. A way for students to see mistakes as a part of the learning process is by being open about the mistakes we make as teachers. Many times those in authority want to make it seem as if they make no mistakes. If we are open with the mistakes we make and show students that we learn from our mistakes, then students will be open to make mistakes as well and learn from them.

If times where different, and school was taken place face-to face there are many ways to get creative and create a safe environment for our students to engage in class discussions. Such as, socratic circles or class debates. However, that's not the case and remote learning it is. Through remote learning as educators we can use more than a few software platforms to promote class discussion. For example, through the use of padlet or whiteboard; where students can share their answers all in one platform and can be screensahred for eveyone to see. Educators can also use Zoom's breakout rooms feature to create a class debate. Through the use of breakout rooms a teacher can create groups and allow them time to brainstorm ideas, once they are ready they get to share their ideas with the rest of the class. These are some methods that I believe can result in positive class engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can actively use technology to engage students by using Kahoot. Kahoot is a fun way to engage students and they will be learning at the same time. Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge. The teacher can also use the breakout rooms to have the students do activities where they can share ideas and knowledge with their classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can use technology such as Flipgrid to give students the opportunity to share their thoughts.    Some students need more time processing information and other students are shy to share their responses. Flipgrid is a very helpful tool for all students, as it allows students time to process and practice their response. It takes the pressure away from giving an immediate response.  All students are allowed to record their responses and have a gallery of their classmates responses.

Although distance learning has been challenging for everyone, I do think it’s an opportunity for introvert students to participate in a way that makes them feel comfortable. My CT uses the chatbox in zoom a lot and has seemed to help. They seem to use that a lot to communicate with her and ask questions. As a matter of fact, students have also begun to reach out to me through the chatbox as well, which makes me happy. I found flipgrid to also be a great tool for everyone including shy students because instead of doing a class presentation in front of everyone. Instead, they have the opportunity to record themselves and then post it which I think may be less intimidated for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Many teachers choose not to use technology, but technology can allow for better collaboration especially on remote learning. For example, Padlet allows us to post an idea but also post an idea for each other to see but also learn new ideas.  As a Social Science Candidate, we talk about a lot of topic in our classes, but through remote learning we are not able to have that interaction. One of the many topic is about debates, through a web called Kialo, students are able to see debate topics and enter into the debate. Using websites like these allows for students to use their knowledge and engage in an active Learning.

I used Pear deck for my class introduction presentation and I loved that I was able to hear all of my students' responses throughout the presentation because time constraints would have only allowed me to hear from a few students if it weren't for Pear deck allowing them to all answer at the same time and then I reviewed their answers with the whole class. Also, they were very hesitant to turn on their cameras and mics during class, yet nearly everyone responded on pear deck.

Peardeck, Edpuzzle, and Flip grid (video platform) are tools that allow students to process their thinking before they respond and share their voice and ideas through discussion boards and/or videos.

I think using polls for the entire class to respond to is a great way for all students to play a roll in the discussion. Polls can be done in the classroom using SurveyMonkey or other tools as well as virtual polls on Zoom.

The reason why some students are always quiet in class is because there is a great deal of pressure that comes with public speaking. Many teachers don't realize that asking a student to vocalize their questions or opinions in class is a form of public speaking, but it very much is, and it comes with all of the associated stressors. The benefit of using technology to obtain the opinions and thoughts of a classroom is that students who are normally afraid of public speaking or too afraid to vocalize in class are usually much more comfortable sharing their ideas nonverbally through text.

By using forums like Padlet and jamboard we allow students to express themselves online. They can work with their peers to create almost anything online and this in turn fosters peer-to-peer learning culture and also encourages students to see and correct any mistakes they make. Students can help each other succeed on different projects and can see what their peers are doing.

Teachers can use multiple technology apps/platforms to engage extroverted and introverted students. For students thoughts, ideas and reflections Flipgrid has been an essential tool and all students have to do is press record. When it comes to technology and education, I've found tools that are easy to use engage students the most. Ultimately, each teacher picking the technology that will enhance each student's learning experience the most is always the best route.

# data[].attributes.body
There are so many wonderful tools that teachers can use to give all different students the opportunity to share in class and online. My top three I recommend is peardeck, flipgrid, and padlet.
Each one gives a different way for the students to interact at a equal level. Peardeack allows for the students to comment or answer questions while going through a lecture with the teacher. No student has to raise there hand and its who ever raises there hand first, But this way everyone answers at a equal comfort level.
Flipgrid is a great way for students to talk about a subject in detail and feel comfortable because they are able to talk and only the teacher will see if they like and they can also retake as many times till they think its right. Lastly is Padlet, like we are using now. Padlet is a wonderful way for students to demonstrate they know what they are learning. I can be used in so many different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that a tool such as Zoom can allows students to be more open. Some students are nervous when speaking to large crowds so maybe it will easy their tension by speaking to a computer screen. The "raise hand" feature on zoom also allows the teacher to see who has questions by sending them a notification. Even things like this padlet is allowing all of us to post what is on our mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Edtech tools such as EdPuzzle are great to "hook" the student and bring them into a lesson without it seeming like a chore. In the foreign language classroom, this can look like a video clip from a country where the target language is spoken. You can pause the video when a grammar point that you have been learning is used, when you want students to answer a question based on what they have just seen and so much more. The possibilities are endless!

It is crucial that students feel comfortable navigating on internet, and I, strongly, believe that implementing technology into our face-to-face or remote classroom will bring positive outcomes.

Students can work individually, in groups or the whole class

Students can share their thoughts in group discussions via zoom, recording videos using Flipgrid or in discussion boards on Canvas. There are multiple ways in which teachers can provide students the space for them to share their emotions and thoughts. Teachers just need to be creative and include time/space for students to express themselves.

Due to this new way of teaching, we have developed multiple skills, including patience. Educators are the first one who make mistakes when using technology and, sometimes the students are the ones who help or correct us, so when teachers make a mistake, it is a great opportunity to teach our students how to behave and overcome this situations. It is ok to ask for help. For example, if we as educators feel frustrated, confused, and mad during a zoom class those are the feeling and emotions that we are projecting to our students. On the other hand,  if we manage stressful situations with wisdom and patience, our students will perceive and adopt it. The best way to encourage students to see mistakes as a learning process is by explaining our students that we all make mistakes. It is part of life but we decide how to face this situations.

During this new learning setting, establishing communication with the students has been very challenging, especially when they have to express themselves in front of a camera. Indeed, many of the students in the period that I am teaching do not feel comfortable keeping their camera on. They just do it at the beginning and the end of the class because it is a class requirement. However, there are tech tools, like Flipgrip that help students to share their thoughts in a way that they do not have to feel pressure of speaking in front of the class. Students can have plenty of time to organize their ideas and do it at their own pace. For that reason, I believe Flipgrip is one of the most useful tech tools teacher can implement in this distance learning.

Almost every online tool has the option to have students share their thoughts. With Zoom chat, students don't have to wait to be called on to give their input. They can also send messages privately if they are shy. The breakout function can also create more manageable discussions where students share their ideas. For video or PowerPoint lessons, Pear Deck, NearPod and EdPuzzle all give teachers the ability to stop the video/presentation and get student feedback. My CT likes to incorporate questions at the end of these for students to share how they feel and how they think they did.

# data[].attributes.body
As the first video discussed, adding technology for technology's sake is not the point. Just adding laptops to a classroom without a specific plan is pointless. We can use technology to give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts by working with them in as many digital contexts as possible and by keeping ourselves as accessible as possible. This will help build their technological literacy as well as ensure they have an outlet that applies to and works for them, specifically.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classroom we have been using Google Slides to encourage peer-to-peer learning. My CT has been finding ways to do "Think Pair Share" activities and Google Slides/Docs is excellent for this. We can have the students complete a worksheet and then send them into breakout rooms to share and collaborate. We encourage students to share their answers and change them as their views change. Being a history class, we try to push students to look at things from different viewpoints and Slides/Docs has allowed us to do this within a distance learning setting.

# data[].attributes.body
My CT and I have been able to use various technology platforms to ensure all of our students have a voice in the classroom. The best one that I have seen so far is called Pear Deck, which is a website that allows teachers/students to follow along to a lecture/powerpoint and answer questions periodically throughout the lesson. We use the question asking feature a lot to do quick comprehension checks before moving on to new topics. This is a great platform as we can scroll through all of their answers anonymously and every student can give their opinion. We found that PearDeck was better than using some of the Zoom functions, where students might be shy to unmute or show themselves on camera. This way, we can see that everyone is participating and has a voice.

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen my CT use Desmos to get students engaged in learning math. When I first started using Desmos back in 2003, when I started my journey in college, I would use Desmos as a graphing tool. Today I realized that Desmos can be used beyond that. My CT creates about 10 questions on Desmos, related to the lesson, and students are working on them while we watch them live to see how they are doing, I think Desmos is a great engagement tool for math. I really like it.

Process Over Product
This was my big take away from the videos posted above.  This addresses the perfectionists, who might not finish and give up.  This addresses students who are struggling with content.  This addresses students who are quiet out of fear for having the wrong answer.  The process is where we learn, make mistakes, and learn more.  Sharing our mistakes can encourage peer-to-peer learning through sharing ideas to move past the mistake and learn from it.  Using a platform like Flip Grid gives the opportunity for students to share and have peers make comments.

giving students breakout rooms in which they discuss their thoughts on a prompted question from the teacher are an amazing way to cultivate healthy interaction between peers and allow people to communicate their thoughts!

Oftentimes in the classroom, you will have a comfortable/confident student that will be the most vocal and answer all the questions. If you use the riddle effect, you essentially create a question and separate students into groups, giving all of the students an opportunity to talk. Breakout rooms are a great way to use this method. I think groups of 4 to 5 students is ideal.

As a PE candidate using flipgrid allows students to video a skill demonstration from the comfort of their home without peers watching. It also allows them the time to rehearse and feel comfortable with their final product before submission. I find this especially useful in the middle school years as it provides students a safe environment to move in.

I think knowing all outcomes is helpful in math to realize why the correct outcome is the right answer. In desmos we ask students which of the four students (random names Al, Bea, Chris, and Dave) have the right answer to the problem and explain why. These 4 outcomes might be results that other students would get by making common mistakes by not carrying a negative or forgetting to distribute but that's how you learn by hearing from your peers why the other answers aren't correct or agreeing with an incorrect answer and seeing your peers explanations and graphs might give you tools of how to solve it correctly. If you don't see the mistakes others can make you might make them instead of learning what you can avoid and remembering also teaching the other three students how to avoid it by pointing out what they did. Shows deep understanding and mastery of the concepts.

I found a tool on Google Classroom that allows the teacher to randomly select students while in discussions. This is nice because it eliminates having to select a students each time and remembering every student that was called upon.

One way I see technology giving all students the opportunity to share their thoughts would be the chat box in Zoom. I really like how you can ask a question and have students respond in the chat. Then the responses come flooding in almost all at once. This has been a great way to gauge the feeling of the classroom on a particular topic.

Students can use edTech (google drive, google classroom) tools to see how other students are doing on particular assignments and gauge where their fellow students are relative to themselves. They can see the outcomes of their peers learning while also being able to see the areas where all students may be struggling. This will reinforce that everyone makes mistakes and maybe everyone is struggling with the same concepts. Hopefully this will encourage students to reach out and work collaboratively.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many EdTech resources to engage students in learning. I think that one of my favorite ones is Kahoot. It is a way to engage all students at once. If you give out some sort of prize at the end for those who win (even if it is small) it can motivate students to do their best. I think the way it can be a discussion tool is if there is a question that a lot of students seem to miss we can talk about why they got confused. Why did they think it was the other answer. Then I can provide some clarification if needed.

# data[].attributes.body
My CT and I use padlet in our classrooms in order to involve the students in the lesson, as well as check for understanding. It is a unique tool that we can have students type in the answers to our questions, with only us seeing the answers. This way the students dont need to worry about answering incorrectly, instead we can see weather the material in the lesson needs to be covered again.

My experience with educational technology tools was limited prior to the start of this credential program.

I have found that Jamboard and Padlet are great tools for students to present their ideas or understanding but also see what their peers are thinking as well. In classrooms, students are able to hear different ways their peers think and get a feel for how each other are understanding material, and through virtual learning students may feel alone in the learning process. These tools help bridge that gap.

Teachers can use technology to give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts by using various resources. For example, a teacher can use breakout rooms to allow the students to engage in discussions which will reflect upon their thoughts about the lesson. A teacher can also use a game form such as Kahoot and design it in different ways to ask students for feedback. The teacher can also allow some students to use the tech recourse if a student is not comfortable speaking out about his/her feelings/thoughts. There are many forms of technological resources thus the students will most likely be familiar will more than one resources.

I really like flipgrid as a tool, and it is something that we take full advantage of in my beginning drama class. it allows us (the teachers) the opportunity to directly model the assignment, or give directions, and students can easily respond in video format. Teaching theatre through distance learning has been a major challenge, because it is a visual medium. If we can't see you, we can't assess you. Some students are reluctant to turn their cameras in in class, or have technology issues that make it challenging. FlipGrid levels the playing field, and gives all of our students an opportunity to participate and make their voices heard,

From what I've seen, PearDeck is the easiest way to get students to engage in class discussion. My CT does a lot of presentations on PearDeck, and then shares the presentations with the students to use as a reference for assignments. The more students interact with the PearDeck, the more detailed the notes are for them to reference. Also, students love using Kahoot, as it turns learning into a game for the students, instead of forcing them to sit quietly through a long lecture. When students get questions wrong, it often encourages them to ask their classmates or the teacher for assistance in figuring out what they missed or why they got a question wrong.

I think some of the tools we have at our disposal, like breakout rooms and jamboard, are fantastic tools for building peer to peer learning. I have seen students be more willing to speak to one another in breakout rooms without a teacher present, the "whole room" and "everyone can hear you" aspect really puts some students off, but others are willing to speak up, but in breakout rooms its seems to be a lot more talking. For the learning from mistakes aspect, one thing I've noticed is that my CT's class is a lot more self-paced now, and the flipped classroom really allows students to fix their mistakes as a part of learning, rather than feeling that pressure to keep up with the class and falling farther behind and having it all stack up.

Honestly, I think that there has never been a better opportunity for students to share their thoughts equally than with technology. The classroom can sometimes be such a polarizing experience for students who are shy, lonely, or feel isolated or "stupid" to ask or answer question. There is such a culture around 'try-hards' and 'class pets' and I think that with technology, there are so many different opportunities to engage students (either by them asking things they don't know about, or providing answers to questions) which keep them engaged with each other and with the teacher/material. I love using the chat boxes and break out rooms so that students feel a little bit safer and more protected to say what they'd like to.

There are many ways teachers can use technology to give students the ability ti share their thoughts. Two tools I have used is Flipgrid and Zoom chat. By using Flipgrid, students can share their ideas without the anxiety of doins so in a live Zoom audience through video. In Zoom, students can use the chat option to share their thoughts with the class in regards to a certain subject or they can even message the teacher in private. Technology really has come a long way in allowing students to express themselves during distance learning.

Many of you have addressed Zoom's breakout room feature as a way of fostering a peer-to-peer learning culture, but I think it's mainly the necessity for an informal, potentially guideless space for the students to air their thoughts and grievances. In a school, this would be the playground or cafeteria, or the time between classes, but virtually, it takes a pretty big shove for students to engage specifically with each other. The breakout rooms are good, and I also like when the teacher opens Zoom for class discussion before class, with the assumption that conversation can be informal and unobserved by the teacher.

I think that in this time, EVERYBODY is learning. Teachers are leaning countless new strategies and techniques, and students are learning to learn from a distance. What is good about this is that everyone is having a lot more grace for everyone. So everyone is learning through trial and error in this time, and technology is a great way, with it's seemingly limitless resources, to cultivate an environment that is accepting of learning through trial and error.

I think Flipgrid is a great way to do that. Every student can record a video and then they are required to respond to one other person's video with a compliment sandwich.

As a music teacher I find Flip Grid to be a very great tool that students can use to record themselves playing an instrument or singing their part, and the teacher would be able to give them individual feedback based on their video.

In my student teaching class, we have used, Pictionary, google slides, and Jamboard to display the students work. We also ask for volunteers to show and present their work. When we do not have enough volunteers we put them in breakout rooms to present to only a few of their peers, hoping this will make them more comfortable with each other. We also use Pictionary and have the students draw something when they finish their work early. Lastly, we use google Jamboard for the students to input their thoughts in a sticky note.

Teachers can use kahoot as a way to engage all learners in class discussions, both online or face-to-face. Kahoot allows students to  review their understanding of material by allowing teachers to make quiz questions ahead of time to ask during lecture. Students can then go to the kahoot website and easily sign in to answer the multiple choice questions. This allows all students to participate too and not just those who are comfortable speaking out loud.

Teachers can utilize technology a few ways for students to share their thoughts. First, a teacher can use a discussion board where students can not only share their thoughts, but engage in discussions amongst their peers and with their instructors.
Another opportunity is through online surveys! These are great because it can allow for teachers to use the surveys as formative assessment. For example, a teacher can ask his or her students how they ready they feel about a recording and why. It is a simple survey, but has the power to inform teachers about where their students are academically and how they feel about their progress.

Flipgrid is a great tool for shy students or those who are introverts. Since some students need time to process and formulate what they would like to say, they can thrive by voicing themselves through videos. I see my sister come to life as she answers essential questions asked by her PE teacher such as how she feels for this upcoming year, having to learn from a distance.

During Zoom, my students ask each other questions and help each other clarify what I am teaching. It helps me because I do not have to stop my lesson. It also helps them because some people learn best by teaching others. It also encourages students to see mistakes as part of the learning process because they may see that others have the same question. The students are usually empathetic of one another and create a safe place for questions.

Zooms chat option along with the ability to put in place virtual background and share screens is an awesome way to keep the students engaged in the class discussion. Also the breakout room option allows for students to break off into smaller groups to discuss about the current topic for the day.

Using technology can help students to be excited to participate in class. Many of the apps will help the teacher gauge participation by being able to see all the students who participated in the activity.
Flipgrid, for example, is a great way for students to express themselves and allow students and the teachers to connect with them.

Flip grid is a great example of how you can hear all student voices. It also allows students unlimited tries and gives them more time to process the question and their thoughts so their response can be more meaningful compared to the pressure of raising your hand immediately after the teacher asks a question in class. I think it can be very helpful because this sort of "first is best" culture can be damaging like the video said and make even the brightest students feel like they are lacking in intelligence.

I love the Chrome Music Lab. It has some amazing resources for beginning and more advanced students. Resources such as the chord player, music wave demonstration, shared piano keyboard, etc. can be beneficial to different levels. I think it could work great in a Zoom breakout room or just simply by remote!

Teachers can use technology to give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts. Technology helps to provide a way of communication and speech without having to directly talk or share ideas to someone. The quiet students who don't want to talk will have a voice to express their thoughts and ideas to the class. Teachers can have students post a video with flip grid on how they did a homework problem. This allows them to participate fully on screen without being live.

By using extensions like Peardeck or other polling add-ons/links, teachers can not only engage all students with live questions, but also provide instant feedback and teach to the results. Teachers can also incorporate discussion and collaborative group work into classes through the use of breakout rooms in Zoom to ensure that all students are able to actively participate and speak in smaller settings.

With the help of technology, we can encourage the comfort level, and therefore success, of students that might otherwise feel pressured, shy, nervous, or just not outspoken to participate in class. Online or in the classroom, students can use technology to help them gather their thoughts, process their information, and even organize to their patterns. This doesn't just help those less likely to speak up/out. This can also help students that are faster off the jump to learn and work on patients and waiting as well. My son is a great example of needing to work on patients. At just over a month into being 5, and about a month of being in distance learning, he can have outright breakdowns if he is not called on in a class zoom session. I love how interactive and participatory he is, but he also needs to let others have the chance. Technology can help work on that for all ages.

Yekaterina Belan.   Technology is a tool that could be useful in the classroom--students gain a new voice and ability to share their thoughts. Many students are too shy to speak up in the classroom. The Google Classroom, FlipGrid, and even Zoom sort of level the playing field. It gives them more time to think and provide well-rounded answers. It allows them to be creative and think outside the box. As teachers, we need to understand that every student has a story. Every student has their own unique way of understanding the world. Therefore, technology could allow students to feel more confident in what they can say. It allows them to communicate with the class, without having to do so in person.

I think technology can be used in many ways to encourage students to achieve academically. For example, nowadays zoom has become very popular due to the pandemic. Zoom is good for lectures, but it works better when we are in breakout rooms. It is easier to discuss the subject and give our opinions and have more open discussions about the subject. Also, we are sharing our thoughts when we comment our classmates posts.

We have been using Desmos Activity Builder during distance learning, which allows us to see students' input in real time as they answer questions, and also allows us to take and share snapshots of student responses without interrupting the flow of the presentation. Desmos Activities are interactive slides, but with pacing control, so we can restrict students to the slides which we are currently talking about. We use a mix of breakout rooms and teacher-led discussion to work through math problems on the Desmos slides, and cycling the format of the class seems to help keep students engaged as well.

This one really spoke to me as I was always a quiet student in the classroom when it came to replying to questions. Technology certainly gives us, as teachers, an opportunity to use less biased forms of responses. Thing like Pear Deck queuing questions is a great tool for teachers. My CT likes to use breakout rooms in Zoom to enable students to talk among themselves before replying to questions so that they can synthesize their responses. Using other platforms that allow students to post what they are thinking also helps to deprioritize the student that raises their hand first and allows a teacher to make sure that a variety of students’ ideas are being talked about in class. It is all a way to give students more time to reply and choosing from everyone rather than the student who responds the fastest.

Using Flipgrid or Pear Deck give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts on their own time. Some students need more time to process. Teachers need to shift from praising the same few students who think quickly and raise their hand all the time.

Teachers can give all students the opportunity to share their thoughts by using a flipgrid as a form of discussion. Tech like flip grid gives everyone the opportunity to share their thoughts because everyone is required to respond and everyone gets a chance to prepare their response so that they can find a response they actually like and they can rehearse what they really want to say. With flip gird even all the shy kids have to share what they think .

Like Stacey Roshan mentioned in the short video, there are many kids that are not outspoken who need time to express themselves that are often overlooked in the classroom, physical or virtual. In this way Padlet, and Flipgrid allow these students an opportunity to comfortably share what they want to. In using Flipgrid especially, as a way for student to introduce themselves, or even present a certain idea as an alternative mode to submit an assignment can be very helpful for both students and teachers,

My own CT has been using nearpod to introduce new units. It's great because you can embed videos, quizzes and group activities within the online presentation. The teacher is still allowed to speak through the presentation as well.

. I think that apps like Flipgrid and Kahoot are a wonderful way to engage all students, not just the ones who are comfortable with speaking up to share their answers. Additionally, blog posts can be used as a tool to improve student's critical thinking skills and participation, without making them feel singled out or uncomfortable.
