I am limited in my use of technology but it is nice to know that I have a safety net to help me if I need it. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614274091 2021-06-18 13:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614274091 I thought it was always helpful last few years when you Jim integrated yourself into our monthly curriculum meetings. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614276434 2021-06-18 13:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614276434 Tech integration into the classroom has made teaching more efficient and - after learning how to use available resources - made it less time consuming https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614277309 2021-06-18 13:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614277309 https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614279512 Collab notes, and then real-time support with new tools! Sometimes I am nervous to use something new, but knowing I have the team to support me has been awesome.]]> 2021-06-18 13:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614279512 I like that idea of using tech to spice things up! https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614280139 2021-06-18 13:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614280139 Common planning is very helpful. I feel like this has been available (on request). Maybe common planning group time within content areas with a DLS https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614280427 2021-06-18 13:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614280427 There needs to be training on how to set up google classroom effectively. As a special ed teacher I am constantly working with students. Stream vs. classwork, using topics. If I can't find assignments there is a problem. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614281384 2021-06-18 13:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614281384 I wouldn't mind PD about ideas with math. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614282203 2021-06-18 13:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614282203 I like the way you have multiple ways to access specialists- in person, in the hallway, PD, email, and library. I can always get someone when I need to. We are so lucky. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614282343 2021-06-18 13:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614282343 Again I was surprised that I ended up making my Google Classroom the daily anchor for the class. It was the beginning and ending platform for the class - I didn't expect that, and I think it would continue. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614284557 2021-06-18 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614284557 This year forced my hand to learn how to integrate technology into my classroom. I was very nervous and stressed going into the year. It was my best, most effective year teaching! I utilized many different platforms and presented material in a variety of ways. Using technology gave me an opportunity to reflect on and refresh pedagogy. "Technology will not replace great teachers but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational." George Couros https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614285765 2021-06-18 13:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614285765 I will never go back to just paper everything! I even created a digital plan-book so I could easily pre-plan and make all my hyperlinks easily - ready to go this year also. mbunten2 https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614287356 2021-06-18 13:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614287356 Integration of ExploreLearning's Gizmos will continue to be crucial in the science teaching future in our classes. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614287358 2021-06-18 13:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614287358 I like to play around with things first. I set up dummy accounts as a student and teacher to test things out. There is so much technology out there so I appreciate the tech team suggesting certain platforms. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614288180 2021-06-18 13:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614288180 I have found things I love, and others that just didn't work for me or my students. I learn by trial and error! https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614288265 2021-06-18 13:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614288265 At the high school level, plagiarism is a big problem. My one hesitation with using Google tools is that. I know that I can check for plagiarism in Docs, but it is inconsistent in flagging things. I wish there were a way to "lock" Google Docs like there is with Google Forms. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614290804 2021-06-18 13:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614290804 I have discovered new ways to improve instruction with the use of technology. It has allowed for more creativity within the classroom. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614290916 2021-06-18 13:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614290916 Increased and quicker feedback https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614290935 Ability to expose students to more varied content mediums

Paper format or digital option. mbunten2 https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614291514 2021-06-18 13:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614291514 For me, this year has clarified what digital is good for and what is missing. Digital has been great for organizing and and content delivery, and even some students prefer interacting in the controlled visual space. But, on the other hand when classes are entirely remote, some students have difficulty with focusing and getting work done without human presence, and others get overwhelmed by the technology, or distracted by the gaming and shopping and whatever is available on the screen other than the class. https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614297550 2021-06-18 13:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ddowns3/ac22losrbohpq7e2/wish/1614297550
