Take a look at my slidedeck to learn more about what Twitter can do for you in your profession.
If I use social media, I want to learn from it or help others in some way. Twitter is a great place to create or join a Personal Learning Community. It took me awhile to get on the Twitter bandwagon, but it is such a great place to view the many great resources that others are sharing.

This simple website solves a problem that so many teachers have: students waiting for the teacher’s attention. Rather than have them wait with their hands up or get off-task, they can add their name to a digital queue, adding a note about what they need, if they’d like. The teacher sees the names in the order they were submitted, and once the student has met with the teacher, their name can be checked off with a single click.
Why would you want to use this? Even though you can do the same thing with having students write their name on the board, you may want to know more specifically their needs. For example, if students are working on a project or writing assignment, you may want to document where they are at in the process. This site helps keep the teacher more organized (and the student, too). Try this website tool when having class discussions, such as the Spider Web Discussion. See this post for more information. Check it out at https://classroomq.com/ Derived from www.cultofpedagogy.com/ed-tech-tools-2019/ Have you heard of Hyperdocs? It is a way of using Google Docs (or Slides) to link outside resources for learning. Hyperdocs give students an opportunity to make choices in their learning path. Below I have linked some examples.

It is also a great way to help them become organized with their learning goals. The Discussion Game
As students enter the room, each set has a white envelope on it, filled with five cards of all different colors. During the discussion, students must play each card once but can play the question card multiple times after using all other cards. Red Card = I think Blue Card = I know (because) Yellow Card = Pose a question Green Card = I feel Orange Card = Connect (to yourself, to the world, to another text/idea/subject) Each card is worth a point (if graded). Center the game on a concept, etc., making sure students are engaged with that content so they can respond to the topic. You know those students who just don’t talk much? This game models the many ways they may be able to contribute to a discussion. Ok, now to add the technology! Have the students respond to an online platform instead (Canvas discussion, https://yoteachapp.com/, Flipgrid, Seesaw, etc.). I am not against a good face-to-face discussion, but it is always nice to mix it up! Derived from The PBL Playbook (2018) by A.J. Juliani Spider Web Discussion The Spider Web Discussion is adapted from the Socratic Seminar Discussion. The teacher is a silent observer and recorder of what he/she sees students saying and doing during the discussion. Students openly discuss a topic for about 20 minutes in groups of 5-25 people. They are able to approach a topic critically, to build on ideas and to push each other to new and better understandings. Other students in the class observe while the speaking group makes meaning of a particular learning concept. Click HERE to watch a video which outlines the process.
