What would be a good middle ground? kaileeosborneko https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1879746498 2021-11-10 00:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1879746498 bnicolefox21 https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1897718940 I think that the middle ground is different for every set of students that come into your classroom. Some are going to love using technology and know more than you do. Where others might prefer pen and paper and struggle to grasp technological ideas. It is a good idea to test the waters at the beginning of the school year. Ask your students some questions about their background in technology, and their preferences. Ask them if they could choose what technology to use in your class what would it be? Let your students be in control of how they learn. ]]> 2021-11-17 18:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1897718940 Not Sure On A Middle Ground But.... wattschelsey18 https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1898560152 I'm not sure on what a middle ground would be but one way to find it when you are working is talk to other teachers. Set up an approximation of what you are wanting to use and show it to another teacher along with the lessons and they might be your best chance are seeing where you are falling. From what I've learned in my education classes so far is that the more experienced teachers where you work will be one of your greatest resources, especially the first year.]]> 2021-11-18 03:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1898560152 amayaeo4 https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1909191446 I would say that the best thing that you could do is choose just a few platforms that you would like to incorporate in your classroom. Going overboard can confuse the students and make them feel overwhelmed. Although there are countless amazing technological platforms out their, you will have to discover the ones that work best in your classroom.]]> 2021-11-23 19:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kaileeosborneko/3hgnwptvli82ance/wish/1909191446
