Here is my QR code Early Explorers Choice Board #MCtechsavvy

Q1: Hi my name is Deanna and I am a fifth grade teacher in the ValleyStream13UFSD . Prior to this, I was a teacher for the NYCDOE. I am a National Board Certified Teacher and an alumnus of @MolloyCollege #MCtechsavvy

Q2: Currently, I’ve been using Google for Education to communicate with my students and post assignments. I’ve also been relying heavily on Remind to communicate with parents. I also enjoy using @Flipgrid and Screencastify 🎬 to post videos for my students #MCtechsavvy

A3: Technology is such a great motivational tool in the classroom. It can also be a great way to differentiate instruction and meet students’ individual needs. Incorporating technology also helps students prepare for their higher education and future employment #MCtechsavvy

A4: When introducing technology to students, it is important to review cyber safety and responsible usage. I also think that students should understand that technology’s role is to enhance a lesson and not be relied upon to solely teach new concepts. #MCtechsavvy

A5: Technology is one tool among many to help guide and enhance student learning. Tools help to carry out a certain function and, with classroom technology, that function is to motivate and to help students learn and grow. #MCtechsavvy

A6: Technology engages students and makes learning come alive. For example, with @Flipgrid students can take a lesson and turn it into a play or ad. It also encourages collaboration among peers. Apps like Follow @Kahoot and Padlet are perfect examples of that. #MCtechsavvy
