I’ve learned that social media can be a reliable tool in the classroom . I plan on using social media more by giving my students assignments to post , to critic and give feedback back to other student, as well as find info and inspiration for projects that will be done in the classroom .

The seven principles of learning are timeless.
Students have different technology skills. Asking the appropriate questions at the beginning of class is imperative to getting to know your students. Do they know how to fill out a Google doc? Do they know how to use Dropbox?

I have to remember students are stretched out in different ways. Asking the right questions initially is extremely important so I know how to help my students.
