Our chat covered the roles technology has in our classrooms. There are various roles it takes, but the most is that technology is a tool that must be used to communicate, create, and innovate students. Its a tool, not something we focus on.
We finally, touched on what we are doing with social media in the gifted classrooms.
Overall, it was a vigorous chat, with a ton of resources. Those resources will be shared below.
I hope that you can continue to spread the word of the #oagctdchat. Our next chat will be Jan. 18th at 9pm EST. Our featured guest will be Laurie Westphal.
