Sp Ed, Art, Sci, ELA, Gen Ed... all of us need to be "up to speed" on using today's technologies in the classroom. https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559011 Also, knowing when and where to use or not use computer tech in the classroom is important for us to know.]]> 2016-07-18 13:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559011 Finding Balance in Our Personal and Professional Lives - How do we and our kids cope/deal with technology being a 24/7 phenomenon? How do we find the balance? How do we teach our students or get them to buy into putting technology "off and away"? https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559091 2016-07-18 13:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559091 In our move towards standards based grading, should we be focusing more on the "21st Century Skills" identified by our district to better prepare our students for future jobs/professions? macvanho https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559147 2016-07-18 13:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559147 Educators need to be more flexible in our thinking about how students want to demonstrate their knowledge. https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559208 2016-07-18 13:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559208 So many of my students think that they are great at multi-tasking (cell phone out in class, ipad/social media) all while I am trying to help them learn new and challenging concepts... How do I help them to self-monitor- better recognize when to use their devices and when to put them away? macvanho https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559262 2016-07-18 13:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559262 The presentation inspired ideas or, rather, the significance of merging technology and creativity. It definitely struck a chord when John S-Brown said that if students aren't learning, it's not fun for them. https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559265 The development of technology, for me as an educator, is both exciting and intimidating. It is, however, necessary to learn as much as possible and, as Alice said, Maine should be among the leaders in the integration of technology and education.]]> 2016-07-18 13:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559265 Change YES! https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559420 We do need to change - keep evolving. I come back to three R's often - Rigor, Relevance AND MOST IMPORTANT Relationships. All moot without kids and teacher being able to work and have fun together.]]> 2016-07-18 13:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alicebarr/grfjhpgwmr97/wish/116559420
