    Its always important to stay up to date with 21st Century learning skills inside of the classroom. Keeping up to date will help keep the students up to date as well and more engaged in their learning.

    I like that this had different resources within it and a guide for parents to understand 21st century learning.

A Guidebook for Social Media in the Classroom | Edutopia - 3 views

  •  
    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.

    This is a pretty great Edutopia article. I hope some of the information will help me when implementing social media in the classroom!

7 Benefits You'll Notice When You Start Learning to Code - 7 views

  • 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.
  • 7 Benefits You'll Notice When You Start Learning to Code
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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!

No More Excuses: Teaching 21st-Century Skills in a Low-Tech Setting - Education Week Te... - 1 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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!

What Does a 21st Century Classroom Look Like: Technology Integration | Edutopia - 4 views

  •  
    I enjoyed this article because it talks about the 10 signs of a 21st century classroom and how to work on achieving these goals.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

ISTE | 7 steps to starting a global collaboration project - 3 views

    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.
  •  
    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!
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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!
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
