@ArtmanBryan A4: I have a twitter account for my first grade class @mrsgarciacru where I share activities that we do. I find @FountasPinnell useful because it gives me ideas to enhance the curriculum my district uses. I use google ALL the time so I follow @GoogleForEdu for ideas. #CUIN7303

A5: As we contribute to the PLN, others add on to transform the idea further. While its is powerful, being part of a larger network is a responsibility. Start small, research well before posting, check for opinion bias, be open to suggestions and courteous to criticisms #CUIN7303

A4: @SirKenRobinson talks about thought provoking concepts in Education – Academic inflation. Intelligence and Creativity are interactive and dynamic. Intelligence is distinct. Education has mined our minds! #CUIN7303 ted.com/talks/ken_robi…

A3: Apart from curated content for educators’ lesson plans or interests, PLNs delivers 2 more benefits: 1. Helps be the 21st century educator (Facilitator) to connect students to knowledge and 2. Motivate students by explicitly showing Educators’ thirst for learning #CUIN7303

A2- A PLN, or a Personal Learning Network, is used for professional development, communication and collaboration purposes. Through PLNs one can gain new ideas such as activities, strategies and best practices, and connect with others in your profession. #CUIN7303

A2: Personal Learning Network is an informal and personal learning environment powered by digital technologies where we can interact with people and learn things – both of our choosing at our own pace and depth. Eg: Twitter, Blogs, Podcast, RSS aggregator etc. #CUIN7303

A3: I’d go with the @Apple ecosystem – check out apple.com/accessibility/ on an approach covering voice over, voice control, transcript, Siri, smart home and health apps spanning a range of devices. Their #Accessibility team is growing too – check below! #UDLChat

A2: This @edutopia article summarizes some effective strategies to develop executing functioning skills- tinyurl.com/yc96ylmk The key is to identify the type of deficiency in students and using metacognitive language help students understand and reflect the scenario #UDLChat

A1: I found @AEM_Center a good resource to develop accessible lessons. Their POUR method provides a simple framework. Another useful resource is @UnderstoodOrg – their website has a section on Assistive Technology including a checklist to consider for content developers #UDLChat

Intro: Hi from Houston, TX. I am a Mechanical Engineer working in Energy Industry and enrolled in M.Ed. (Math Education) to transition to teaching. Holidays to me signifies longer training miles and lots of eating in the run up to @HoustonMarathon in Jan! #UDLChat #RUNHOU

Lectures gives most bang for the buck - you can cover a lot of breadth in an hour's lecture. Student engagement is challenging as it is mostly 1-way. #FlippedClassroom is an alternative - use tech to deliver lecture and free up classroom time for hands-on work #EdChat

What course or topic do you find the most challenging to teach using technology aid in your classroom? #edchat

Wonder what @presentationzen think of my first ever screen cast following his design elements for my M.Ed. class on "How to use Instructional Technologies to promote 21st century teaching & learning" #EdTech #PLN youtu.be/bkv3n3ccSWM

After reading about #PLN and attempting to use Twitter to experience #PLN myself, I wonder is there a risk for students to get distracted by easy tangents and not put tools like Twitter to use? @IPLN2020 @ThinkUDL @ArtmanBryan #udlchat #edchat #edtechchat #21stcenturyskills #PLN

Do you use separate online accounts/profiles for personal and PLN use? @IPLN2020 #edchat #edtechchat #21stcenturyskills #ipln

Sharing a whitepaper I wrote on #LinkedIn about the Energy Landscape since the 2014 Oil downturn. #flippedclasroom allows class work time for Project based learning #PBL, an approach that will make students job-ready! #edtech #edtechchat #UDLChat #edchat linkedin.com/pulse/energy-l…

Sharing "About Me" nearpod screencast made for my M.Ed. course at @UHCOE. Engineer to math educator journey starts. Appreciate any advice or useful hashtags or people I can follow in my journey. Thanks. #edtech #edchat #edtechchat #UDLChat share.nearpod.com/8WDXkJWfEZ
