Using technology to create exploration is the key- it is not about the answer, but the process. It's not the what, but the how. Hands on learning through technology is all about trial and error. It takes the focus off the "right" answer.  ]]> 2016-07-22 00:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789122 akrocak https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789158 We have an obligation to do the best we can for our students. This means technology MUST be included in rigorous, thoughtful and useful ways. ]]> 2016-07-22 00:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789158 akrocak https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789330 I think my strongest area is currently standard 1: facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. I can find exciting ways to bring subjects to life or pair lessons with interactive games and/or assignments, but while this is my strongest area- I feel like I have a lot of room to grow here too. Everything changes so quickly- it's hard to keep up. ]]> 2016-07-22 00:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789330 akrocak https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789950 The standard that represents the biggest opportunity for growth for me is standard 3: model digital age work and learning. I need to MAKE time to check out different tools to communicate and work hard to model the integration of new technology in my teaching. I also really want to take advantage of a tool out there that gives me real-time data on the progress and knowledge of my students.]]> 2016-07-22 00:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116789950 akrocak https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116790141 I love this little guy's face- he is totally geeked out and COMPLETELY engaged. Per our discussions in class, if teachers don't embrace the hype, they are missing an opportunity.]]> 2016-07-22 00:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116790141 akrocak https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116790602 I dipped my toe into the world of teacher blogs on tech integration . This is the one I liked the most- lots of great ideas from easy to more complicated. ]]> 2016-07-22 00:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/akrocak/techclass/wish/116790602
