It can be used in a vast number of ways. Instructors can use Twitter to inform parents and students on upcoming assignments and events, to post readings and videos, or engage their students in discussions. Educators can also use Twitter to share new ideas, concepts, stories, lesson plans, etc. with other educators around the world! How awesome! Below, I've attached a video explaining how to navigate through Twitter.]]> 2018-04-29 23:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256356029 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256359510 I've attached a link to some of the top Twitter accounts created by other educators.]]> 2018-04-29 23:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256359510 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256362076 Like Twitter, blogs are a great resource to use in the classroom! Blogs can be used for students to create and share post as well as interact and reply to other students. This allows a gateway for students who may be introverted to have a voice and talk with their classmates, as well as share things they individually find interesting. Below is a link to a blogging site used by 8th grade students:]]> 2018-04-30 00:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256362076 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256363103 There are so many fellow teachers who use blogs to voice their opinions and concerns, share stories and lesson plans, and offer advice to other educators. The opportunities with blogs are endless! Subscribing and following along with other teachers only enhances teaching of your own. Below I've attached a link to a blogging site directed toward elementary teachers. ]]> 2018-04-30 00:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256363103 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256364090 Google is a great way to create and send documents and forms to others. As an educator, an example of using Google could be to send a form to the guardians of your students which they can fill out and send back to you. Below Iv'e provided a link to Parent form I've created.]]> 2018-04-30 00:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256364090 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256367655 Google actually allows you the opportunity to create online quizzes for your students to take! I find the tool to be very beneficial as it provides students with a quick and easily accessible way to take a quiz. This tool is quick and easy to use. It also does the grading for you, saving you the time and effort of individually grading each quiz. Google quizzes also allows you to attach pictures and videos which you couldn't do the traditional way. Below I've attached a sample quiz to show how accessible they are to students.]]> 2018-04-30 00:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256367655 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256371687 Pinterest is a social network which allows you to share and comment on visual material, which could be photographs, sketches, videos or web pages. Like a virtual scrapbook, but very public, you can collate the items that you love. Pinterest boards can be a great way to collaborate with other teachers. You can share ideas, resources, videos, news articles, and images. You don’t have to be working in the same school, or even the same country, to be able to work on the same collection of resources. Below I've attached a screencast that will help you navigate through the site.]]> 2018-04-30 01:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256371687 hinkte01 https://padlet.com/hinkte01/flip_your_classroom1/wish/256373815 There are endless ways to integrate technology into your classroom, as well as and endless amount of tools and resources for educators to use. I hope these tools intrigue you and that you consider giving them a try.
