I co-run an after school drawing group called Etch. They would love this! I also thought about using it to make interactive posters or using it for one pagers! ]]> 2021-10-11 23:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809015777 https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016265 Tonight I truly appreciated the sharing of different resources we each use in our classrooms. It was great hearing the pros and cons. I have some apps I am going to look into for my students! ]]> 2021-10-11 23:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016265 I am amazed out how many different apps/programs are being used and also you really have to chose wisely https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016332 2021-10-11 23:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016332 As great as we feel technology is, it still has its disadvantages. Technology has provided use of ease and convenience, however it has begun to make some of us lazy and caused distractions in the classroom. porsha1stewart https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016545 2021-10-11 23:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016545 https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016591 One thing from conversation with Dr. Bull was if students are producers of knowledge then they can't cheat because it is authentic. ]]> 2021-10-11 23:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016591 https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016640 My take away from class tonight is that when using technology in class, we should weight the advantages and disadvantages and make sure the technology is appropriate for the lesson. ]]> 2021-10-11 23:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016640 Technology is great for flexible learning, and can provide engagement. We need to really check on our tools and decide if they are appropriate for our students. https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016840 2021-10-11 23:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809016840 https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809017640 There will always going to be good things and bad things about different resources but as educators we have to find the resources that for best for the students in our classroom.]]> 2021-10-11 23:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809017640 Every digital tool we use has advantages and disadvantages. We must consider these things as we are planning instruction and implementing what we choose to use. Some advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but sometimes we may choose to not use an app in our rooms because the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. lindsey_westmoreland https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809018939 2021-10-11 23:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809018939 Digital Resources: All have limitations and we need to be aware of them and be prepared to work around those limitations. As well as not being lazy educators. I am guilty of taking the easy way out for assessments. Authentic assessments that force students to present their own knowledge is more difficult and more time consuming to grade, but it will enhance the instruction and learning. https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809020061 2021-10-11 23:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809020061 Tonight's reflections https://padlet.com/laurelmiddleton/ug9a2l3wkseckrly/wish/1809022491 "Stop trying to be traditional in a digital world." - Dr. Bull
