    This is a great article and after reading it, I realize even more why I need to teach digital citizenship lesson that include the use of social media to my students. There are some great ideas for using social media in the classroom that I want to try out. I want to try out having my students do a podcast at some point this year and I also want to have my students blog. I am going to share this with a colleague of mine that I know will love the information in this article and want to join me in bringing social media into our classrooms.

    I really liked this website. It was actually one that I almost shared with this group because I liked it. I think it is important to know how to implement social media in the classroom because it is so prevalent in our society. I think this website will be used by teachers because they are the ones who will be deciding how they will bring social media in lessons. I have seen other websites that can help implement social media into the classroom. I have shared that website to this group.

  • Learning to code has made it into the mainstream, meaning that anyone can learn - you just need concentration, patience, and diligence. I did it, and so can you.
  • It’s been shown that learning to code can help you do better in other subjects that you’re studying or learning. Within programming, you learn how to break down a problem into individual steps and to use a language that the computer understands to logically create a working program.
  • A key area of your life important in growth is a successful career. Learning to code helps achieve that through many avenues and opportunities.

  • Financial success is an important goal for many, and learning to code can have a significant impact there. No matter what your career, profession, or background; programming skills are useful.

    This article would be beneficial to share with teachers so that they know the benefits of teaching students to code. Coding in the classroom has long range benefits that could lead to students having many options in their future careers. Additionally sharing this article with students would show them that while coding is fun; they are also working on developing skills that can help them in the present and future.
  • hoffeuni on 15 Nov 17
     
    I really like this resource. I will definitely be looking at this as I get ready to write my final paper. This is different from all of the other articles that I have seen because it is not directly related to coding with students. I could see how this could be beneficial for a young professionals group all the way up to a senior citizen center.
  • prierj on 15 Nov 17
     
    It's interesting how all of these things connect with coding. As a computer science major I can see how all of these can be impacted by coding, yet I never thought of them. After reading this article I definitely can look back and see this occurring through out the past two years!

    At my school, access to technology (i.e., laptops or computer labs) is not always equitable. Some teachers have nearly 1:1 access, while others (like myself) have to schedule weeks in advance for access -- and even then, can only schedule three days in a row. Thankfully, there are ways to teach our students 21st Century Skills (such as critical thinking, etc.) without having to possess a 1:1 environment. This article gives some examples.
  • prierj on 15 Nov 17
     
    I like how the article gave ways for educators to teach effectively with technology without 1:1 as you mentioned. This isn't something that is commonly thought about so I'm glad this article touched on it!

    Gamification of a classroom requires dedication. These kind of studies just blow my mind. Great resource to learn a bit more about gamification and student engagement.
  • Cassidy Winslow on 14 Nov 17
     
    I think that I can definitely use this resource in my classroom once I feel more confident at gamification because leaderboards is something that I struggle with. I don't want students to feel down about where they are at but I also want students to feel proud of their accomplishments. It is so interesting to me that a student will work so hard to complete a level or to be on the top when they are so frustrated. They are truly persevering through the difficulties.
  • na409102 on 15 Nov 17
     
    Thanks for sharing Dave. I never seem to get tired of reading about gamification. It's so interesting. I definitely think that this can be used as a resource for teachers.
  • Ryan on 15 Nov 17
     
    Gamification is very unique inside of a classroom now that I have a better idea on what it is. I feel that it fits perfectly inside of a classroom because it gives the room a whole new look. It can be beneficial for both teacher and student because the teacher can use the game to help get the students attention and help better their learning. Then the students can use it to help with their learning and become more engaged to what they are being taught and having it be put into a fun way of learning.

  • hoffeuni on 15 Nov 17
     
    This is a good resource to use with administrators and school board members. I feel like sometimes we run into roadblocks because people just don't know what technology integration should look like. This resource could also be used with teachers to give them some ideas on how a technology integrationist could provide support to them in the classroom.
  • Ryan on 15 Nov 17
     
    This is a good article to look at. I feel that it would be good for a classroom because it is talking about how to transform a classroom into a 21st century classroom and what it should look like. This would definitely benefit both teacher and student. The teacher can use the technology to help teach while the students can use the technology to help learn and grow.

    Hi Sara! This is a great article that I think will be helpful for what I've chosen for my final project for Dr. Z's class which I hope to utilize in my own classroom. The last point in the article was really relateable for me, especially with the global collab project we just completed. It is important to realize that in a project like this, not everything can be controlled. I also really enjoyed the point about asking your students if they are comfortable with it. I think that we all experienced some discomfort in our project, so making sure students of a younger age are okay talking to strangers would be incredibly important.
  • na409102 on 15 Nov 17
     
    Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! I think that global collaboration projects are an amazing opportunity for kids to be able to participate in. It's amazing how much technology can do for us. I can't wait for the future generations to become adults :) What a different world it will be!
  • mattoliphant on 15 Nov 17
     
    1. I agree that this could be used in my own future classroom -- but it would be contingent on finding the right topic and group to collaborate with. 2. I think that the resource is mostly for teacher use as it provides an overview and tips/tricks for teachers. 3. Other resources that might want to be considered are the different websites shared by Dr. Z during class.
  • Ryan on 15 Nov 17
     
    I agree that this could be used in a classroom. This can be a good way to help students better understand a topic that they are learning at that time. I feel though it would be more for the teacher usage for a younger age. I feel that a global collaboration might be difficult for elementary students unless they work with anyone older than them in their district. Otherwise, I feel it would be a good experience for older students as well.

    I've heard such good things from people that use TweetDeck! I haven't used it much myself but I definitely agree that it would be useful in my future classroom. The fact that both students and teachers can use it makes it even better to use in the classroom. Great share!
  • mattoliphant on 15 Nov 17
     
    1. I would use TweetDeck in my classroom in terms of finding and following people/organizations on Twitter. I personally do NOT want to follow my students on Twitter, however :-) 2. I think the resource is mostly for teacher use. While it could be used by students, I am not sure how I would integrate a tool like this into my classroom instruction (especially since I cannot control what is posted by others to make sure the information is appropriate to my audiences). 3. There are other resources that can do similar things - a cursory search of the App Store provides access to both free and paid alternatives.
  • Ryan on 15 Nov 17
     
    I can see this being used in the classroom to help send out updates on what is going on that day. I believe that this could be used best for teacher usage to mainly do pictures and to give recognition to someone that might have done something cool and unique that day.
