And I also feel that textbooks are biased. I want Ss to read widely & hear different points of view so that they can critically make up their own mind about things - we need to train them for real life (which doesn't come with a textbook) #sunchat

I will say I love how technology keeps my students and me organized. Ultimately, the learning in the classroom is most important, but the efficiency is a wonderful bonus. #sunchat – at Wichita Falls, TX

I'm finding that technology can help to level the playing field for Ss. I work w/ Ss who struggle with eye reading and written language - the use of technology allows them to shine in ways traditional paper and pencil doesn't allow them to. #sunchat

Google classroom platform. I created a template on Google Slides for the notebook for Ch 1 so it was a lot of planning ahead but then I pushed that out to Ss and they edit their copy as we go. It is awesome to be able to see their notebooks anytime I want #Sunchat

Because I love stirring the pot: how about use of students' personal devices? I come from the school where we model how to use personal devices responsibly and how to manage screen time. Not ask students to put away devices that we constantly have at our side.... #sunchat

The never-ending battle. But I agree, I have my phone on my all the time, wear watch that alerts me to msgs, etc. Ss will never NOT have tech in their future, I would rather teach them to multi-task and complete a task than pretend tech doesn't exist #sunchat

So I’ve heard “technology can change the classroom” and “technology dumbs down our Ss”....which is it? Let’s get this #sunchat going! – at Indiana, USA

We went to 1:1 for our middle school and 9th grade this year so I am fully embracing it and doing #digitalnotebooks with my freshmen. It has definitely been a learning curve but when the tech works, it's great lol #sunchat

I am always concerned with the WHY behind tech use. Using it just to use it? What does it add to the curriculum? Popping a kahoot into a lesson plan is not innovation. I highly recommend considering the TPACK framework when considering tech use. #sunchat

Excited to see what our pre-service Ts have to say today- you are coming from a generation that is heavily tech-driven to teach a generation that is even more tech-driven. What does that mean for your crooms? #sunchat – at Indiana, USA

I love that a professor in Ohio/Kent State has sent pre-service teachers to twitter for Prof Education and Development! This is the best place to be! #sunchat
