- Ed Tech for all students – not just older students
- networking can be exhausting
- picking and choosing what works for you – you can’t do it all
- office 365 – sway – kids collaborating
- remind instead of planners – used with students and their parents as reminders and to be kept in the loop (set settings to one way communication – create boundaries)
Sally made a lot of good points in her presentation but the overall theme that I picked up on was self-care. While it’s important to be reflective and reflexive in your teaching, you have to do it in a way that works for you. Blogging is a breeze for some and a burden to others, twitter can be helpful or exhausting. She pointed us in the direction of a few apps that could aid in our future teaching. Things like sway in office 365 can be used when students need to collaborate, or sway being used to keep students and parents in the loop with homework or school events. She made the point that while open communication with parents and students is important, it’s just as important to create boundaries that work for you.
I really enjoyed reading your blog about Sally Song’s presentation. I think I picked up similar points from her presentation. I would want you to expand more on the points for others to see what you thought about the presentation, if you agreed with the presentations, what you learned, etc. But otherwise, its straight to the point, short and sweet. 🙂
