How to 'master' the art of the smartboard and it's capabilities.  Also, how do we provide students with as much access to technology as possible (iPads, laptops, etc.,) and ensure they use study halls to do homework on various apps like Schoology vs. watching soccer games or sending selfies on SnapChat?  You can circulate as much as you want when you give them time to be independent, but when they do that, is this one of those "pick your battles" scenarios?

Technology in the classroom works well if it compliments the lesson being taught. But what's the most effective way to do so?

# data[].attributes.body
We need to use technologies in ways that don't become a barrier to learning! The tech can't get in the way of the point of the lesson!

Technology can help to make learning accessible.

Technology can work in the classroom - even if the teacher learns how to use the technology alongside the students - but only if the technology is to allow for new skills, not a form of management

There is a lot of misinformation online, and that students do not always know what to trust and what not to trust

-How to integrate tools that students know and use in their own daily lives in class or out of class to continue learning
-How to balance being the new teacher that's excited with integrating tech and digital spaces in our curriculum with collaboration, push back from other teachers or administrators, etc.

Using technology shouldn't mean making a lot of additional busy work just so that the technology gets used.

Understanding the technology being used doesn't mean you need to be an expert at using it.

Where do I start?!? Without lots of knowledge of available tools- how do I gain experience with them and learn to think creatively in how to use them to help students CREATE and COLLABORATE, not just use to chow down on info.

How on earth does one begin to incorporate technology into their lesson plan effectively?

I know that in order to effectively integrate technology, you need to teach students how to use the tool and set up expectations around that tool for students and families. I also know that different tools work better/ act as road blocks for different types of learners. I know that integration should be systematic and purposeful.

To be used optimally, technology should be integrated into a broader approach to learning employed by the teacher

How to use students existing knowledge of technology to the advantage of their learning (eg use tools they are already familiar with and make them more educational)

# data[].attributes.body
I know how to use a few different tools, like Google Drive, creating websites, and using stuff like social media. I also know that to integrate technology into the classroom effectively, you have to know how to use the tools and know why it is the right tool to accomplish a particular learning goal.

Will teaching technology for the sake of knowing that technology come into play at all in anything we discuss? For example, in some science classes, students learn how to use certain technologies that accompany instrumentation for the sake of experimenting! Anyone have any thoughts about that kind of learning?

# data[].attributes.body
the same technological tools do not work the same for every teacher nor student and teachers should not just use technology to say they used it.

I know that all profanity is changed into an angry face 🤬

I know that tools such as Google Drive can be effective in allowing students to not only receive information as they can get slides or documents directly from the teacher and can use these tools to easily collaborate with other students with updates in real time
