A4: For one of our projects, I paired up with Debbie Stanley and used PearDeck for the first time. The kids really enjoyed it and it was a great way to get them involved in a variety of ways during the lesson! #csufEdTech #K12tech

A5: I follow most people on #Instagram. Haylee Harwick @shelovesteachingfourth @teachcreatemotivate A Primary Kind Of Life and @MrDtimes3 #csufedtech #edtech

@csufedtech 522 is challenging me to think about using #socialmedia in #education. For the elementary level, I thought about it being something for teachers to use to access resources, but edutopia has some great resources for how to get the students involved too! #csufedtech

I love the Key Vocabulary that Common Sense Education shares on this page. This info will help me become more knowledgable about ICT Literacy so I can in turn teach these core concepts to my students! #csufedtech commonsense.org/education/digi…

This website has a great overview of Media Literacy and some actionable ideas for using #MediaLiteracy in the classrooms in grades K-8. Thank you Prodigy Education! prodigygame.com/main-en/blog/t… #csufedtech

There are so many great #coding programs for kids! One of my favorites to use in my classroom is Scratch Team! My students love the different Sprites and exploring the projects already created and shared by others! #codingineducation #csufedtech

Thankful for CSUF Ed Tech Program for introducing me to MOOCs! These are online courses available (so many for free!) across hundreds of topics. There are some for education on Coursera, but I decided to have some fun and try one on #winetasting hosted by UC Davis ! #csufedtech #MOOCS

Who knew there were so many great #podcasts for #educators?!? I am excited to start checking out the podcasts listed on weeditpodcasts.com/the-15-most-po… during my morning drive to work. I think I am going to begin with the Google Teacher Podcast! #csufedtech #podcastsforeducation #Googlesuite

Wrapping up #EDEL522 with the amazing Loretta C Donovan this week. This course, offered through CSUF College of Education, encourages teachers to extend our thoughts about social media and explore its many uses in the classroom. Thank you, #csufedtech and @TitanPrezVirjee!

I love edutopia's emphasis on promoting play in learning! It is so important, especially at the primary level, to create playful learning opportunities that will encourage students to build lifelong skills (problem solving, communication, and more!). #CSUFedtech

It is so important to keep our motivation "our why" in mind as we seek to make effective changes. We should follow the phases of PURPOSE= Planning Understanding Researching Preparing Operationalizing Sustaining Evaluating to achieve success (Green & Donovan, 2020) #csufedtech

Mentorship in education is so important, for both students and colleagues as well! Educationworld emphasizes the importance of mentorship and how it can help teachers of ranging experience levels "push the envelope" within their practice! educationworld.com/a_admin/teache… #CSUFedtech

In eSchool News article about #professionaldevelopment, the #1 standard for success is creating successful #LearningCommunities, or PLCs. It is so important to look at the human resources- skills and practices of amazing colleagues- and utilize them to the fullest! #csufedtech

After attending #CUEConference2022 and reflecting as I prepare a CUE Wrap/ #demoslam with my colleagues, I'm reminded of how important it is for tech PD to be hands-on whenever possible. The interactive workshops like those from LEGO made the biggest impact! #CSUFedtech
