Being a teacher can be hard at any time. No matter the era. I imagine teachers had difficulties long before the modern public education system and today is no different. There is much disagreement and opinions on bringing digital tech into the classroom. I think we need to look out how we bring tech into the classroom. Simply, allowing device time as a reward is not the way to go. Lucky for us educators, there is a system set in place if your classroom is being left behind in this digital society. The Technologist Module can help!
I decided on creating a Twitter essay which was more difficult than I planned. I wrote out what I wanted to say but ended up changing the entire work to accommodate Twitter standards. I never use Twitter and only made an account for this class. Since then, I’ve only checked for what’s trending. For this artifact, I began by introducing the Technologist Module and breaking down the steps of the module. As I continued, my artifact had took a new route with almost every Tweet to try to stay within the character count. As I progressed I seen the advantages and some disadvantages of this format. Nevertheless, I am eager to try this approach in my classroom. I hope you enjoy.
