Teaching during a Pandemic

I believe everyone across the globe has been impacted in some way, shape, or form by the unexpected reality of COVID-19. That being said, schools across the country have closed down and switched to remote learning for the remainder of the school semester. This unprecedented time has called teachers across all grade levels to change the way they interact and teach their students. Across all social media platforms, educators have been demonstrating their creative ploys to enhance students’ educational experience through online learning. Teachers are also,  guiding one another depicting what is effective and what is not. Throughout my blog Post, I will be discussing how professional educators are perceiving their online teaching during the pandemic. After doing research, teachers in some parts of the country are saying that they were not prepared for online learning whatsoever (I mean come on, no one was prepared for this). Teachers across the country are not only worried about c...

continued growth through twitter

Twitter Blog Post #2 On this Blog Post, I will be talking about my continued experience with Twitter. My Twitter experience since my first checkpoint has been consistent. However, as I got familiar with Twitter I started participating more and more. Throughout this time on Twitter, I have gained more knowledge about the education world, and also, learned how creative professional educators really are. Additionally, seeing the different tweets from professional educators gave me great ideas to hopefully one day implement in my future classroom.  In addition, one of my favorite things on twitter is Edutopia. Edutopia provides insightful information to help professional educators become more effective in classroom settings.

Flipgrid is the leading video discussion platform used by millions of educ...

SRS Blog Post

Hey, I will be writing about three specific student response systems that were presented in class by fellow peers. While utilizing these student response systems I learned how you can integrate them in a classroom setting to help students engage and be more productive. The three student response systems that I chose to write about were Mentimeter, Edpuzzle, and Plickers. Using SRS tools in a classroom can be really interesting to help engage an entire classroom, and have help students have a better understanding of the material/lesson.  The first SRS tool I found beneficial was Mentimeter. Mentimeter is great for various reasons. Mentimeter is a great SRS tool that helps teachers engage in a small or large classroom. With Mentimeter you have the opportunity to create a fun, yet engaging presentation, to help students interact with one another. In other words, a teacher can pose a question easily and within a minute or two, have aggregated responses from every student. Addi...

Personal Growth Through Twitter

I am fairly new to Twitter, but this semester I have been more proactive on social media platforms and have seen benefits. I am beginning to use Twitter for educational purposes, by following experts in the education field I am attaining knowledge from seeing different education ideas in my particular field of education. While being more proactive on Twitter,  I have seen educational experts give several ideas about education, specifically relating to technology and how to incorporate technology in a classroom setting. For example, google classroom is heavily used in classroom settings. Educational experts share their tips on how to use the website more effectively in your classroom. After reading several tips provided by experts I feel encouraged and inspired to incorporate and use these tips for future circumstances. Another, essential technology tool seen throughout twitter is Flipgrid. Educators are using Flipgrid to engage their students in a unique matter. For example, Flipgr...
