What teaching practices do you think have been most improved by technology during hybrid learning?
What changes do you see schools and teachers making with regard to ed tech in a post pandemic world? - Jocelyn]]> 2021-04-26 16:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1460351118 A lot of the ideas in the book are directed at "digital natives", or kids who grew up with technology and can use it/figure it out faster than we can. Have you had experience trying to create these experiences for students who are new to the country and have no experience with computers and technology? https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1465831959 2021-04-27 18:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1465831959 https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1466875575 After watching everything we have gone through over the past year, what are some takeaways and/or trends that you would like to see public education to continue embrace post-pandemic?

I was wondering if you thought every lesson should have technology as a part of it.

How much of a school day do you think they should be on a screen? Do you think there is ever TOO much? ]]> 2021-04-28 22:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1471354444 I recently read an article regarding augmented reality and virtual reality in the classroom. (You also mention this in your book.) The article also mentioned that Google has created a cardboard VR viewer that costs around $15. How long do you think that it will take to get this type of technology in the classroom and what do you think will be the best way to utilize it (while teaching)? https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1481452628 2021-05-01 22:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1481452628 Differentiation? delphine_gueren https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1482492185 Any advice on how to handle the different levels in the classroom? 
1 -  some students will be eager to try new ideas and run with it and others are very apathetic and will not want to do anything that requires any kind of "work" ("just give me a worksheet" attitude) which is what you talk about at the end of the book when you write "Students get comfortable with the way school is done". I found it difficult sometimes to address this because I feel like I am more excited about some things I do than the kids 
2 - Also, by levels, I am talking about the very big gap in abilities and skills that has been even more emphasized with the pandemic]]> 2021-05-02 14:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1482492185 https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1484828440 How should we integrate different forms of technology into the classroom, when our school is not 1:1 with Chromebooks?]]> 2021-05-03 12:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1484828440 Which educational Tech Trend do you think is overrated, a fad, or not as likely to last as many other think it will? https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1487729630 2021-05-04 00:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1487729630 Which educational Tech Trend do you think is overrated, a fad, or not as likely to last as many other people think it will? james_amodio https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1487732744 2021-05-04 00:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_nikola/a37axkrmdibkdrfo/wish/1487732744 Your book is "old" in technology years (hahaha).
