Twitter Review:
@educationweek retweets EdWeek Teachers [@EdWeekTeacher] tweet on using an element of cultural
or systematic behavior passed through relativeness, or memes and GIFs, in a classroom setting. Despite
the belief that social media and texting have a negative effect on students grammar and coherence,
entertainment such as memes and GIFs cause a spike in student performance in the classroom. It is
thought that these forms of social media better relate to their students, causing an increase in classroom
attendance along with student interaction. With such a technologically driven world, it will become even
more difficult to keep up with the Joneses (Keeping up with the Joneses, 1913), but with the help of
teachers striving to integrate technology within their classrooms, our world will grow more connected
while becoming understood.

Twitter Review:
@EdTech_K12 tweets on the design impact of classrooms. It is thought that students and
teachers both benefit from toollike standing desks. These innovations have appeared within
21st century classrooms, and ultimately seem to engage students better than traditional seating
and classroom design. Twelve percent of students experience higher engagement with tese
arrangements, said the blog, and although not every school can remodel its entire learning space,
it is the beginning of new innovation.

Twitter Review:
@educationweek tweets about superintendents who have dealt with natural disasters and offers advice to
the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Kerry Sachetta, the assistant superintendent and former principal for
operations in Joplin, Missouri school district spoke about the tornado that ripped through his city and
school in 2011. He said you have to take care of yourself first before you go and help someone else. Some
make note of a few important measure to take in situations such as this. Some include keeping in mind
contacting employees to help lead, helping students and staff cope with trauma, and assessing damages in
facilities. Robert Romines tells his story too, and had been hired a week before as an incoming school
chief when a tornado killed 25 in Moore, Oklahoma. These two eyewitness accounts help faculty and staff
who were affected in Texas by Hurricane Harvey deal with the problems that might come about due to
loss of life and/or material items. Harveys impact stretches 300 miles along the Gulf Coast, and
hopefully, with the help of others willing to share their story, many of Harveys victims will be helped.

Education Next [@EducationNext]. (2017, September 12). Some schools and districts have
changed their bell schedules so that teenagers start school later.
ednxt.co/2vRtvcg [Tweet]. Retrieved from https://twitter.com/ on September 12, 2017.
Twitter Review:
@EducationNext tweets about changing bell schedules in order to improve student performance.
By pushing ba the bell schedule, and having students attend later classes, it is proven to enhance
the scores of standardized tests and math tests. Close to 45 states have adopted this policy. With
attending later classes, it is also improving the attitudes of faculty as well as students.
Administration is hoping this change will take on new advancements. As a student, this is a great
idea because sleeping in, especially in college is a luxury some students never receive.
Twitter Report Four Ashley Shaver: marie_ashley221

Education Week [@educationweek]. (2017, September 10). School success is often measured by
test scores, but they dont paint an accurate picture.

story.html?cmp=soc-edit-tw [Tweet]. Retrieved from https://twitter.com/ on September 17, 2017.
Twitter Review:
@educationweek tweets about the significance of test scores and asks, how could you classify
schools as good or bad based on SAT scores and teacher-student ratios alone? Jack Schneider,
an assistant professor of education at the College of the Holy Cross in Worchester, Mass., (and a
former high school teacher and edweek.org blogger) poses the question, while later declaring a
shift in mindset at every level of education. He notes that the numbers produced by standardized
tests fit the kind of seemingly objective, quantifiable metrics that have triumphed across
American society. By now, many generations of people have come of age with testing simply
being a part of life. He later says in an interview that a child having early advantages sets a tone
and example that he/she will carry with them to school. With the standardized tests engulfing the
education system, those advantages will be more difficult to uncover. Schneider hopes to create a
more efficient way to measure school progress and efficiency, which will then continue to better
the education system.

Twitter Review:
@TeachingEnglish shares a tweet from edutopia.org that shares thirty tips on how to quiet a
noisy classroom. Two of the few tips include being still and focusing their eyes on the teacher.
These tips could improve the classroom, giving the students more investment as they try to learn.
The article gives tips on how to quieten classes of all ages, so no teacher should be led astray.
The article implements suggestions for an elementary style classroom as well as list calls and
responses to classrooms as the noise level rises. These are very helpful tips, especially for
teachers who are new to the classroom setting.
Twitter Report 4 (cont.) Integration of Technology in both Twitter Reports
Tests are a ginormous part of the educational system today. Most tests are sought after
using technology anyway, but is that truly painting the right pictures for administration? Some
new technology could be introduced for students to study and ace the electronical quizzes thrown
their way, such as apps, games, tablets/computers, and interactive collaboration (group work).
Technology can be integrated into classrooms to help reduce the noise level as well.
Students can be focused on the technologysuch as tabletsinstead of talking among
themselves. Additional interactive games, apps, and group assignments may keep them engaged
as well.

Twitter Review:
@EdTech_K12 tweets about K-12 students getting future career skills from an engineering program established
through The University of Michigan [@UMich] and others schools. As study from the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation and STEM Next has found that 70 percent of students who participated in after-school STEM programs
experienced positive results in those subjects. The program is located on the campus of the University of Michigan;
it is an innovation space where UM faculty, staff, and students and alumni provide technical training and mentoring
to Detroit middle and high school students, in hopes of positioning Detroit students on the global stage. The
university received a $250,000 grant from Google to fund this project. This program is a great way for students to
grow and develop their career ideas early, in preparation for what is to come. Educational Technology is everywhere
in this program, seeing that the most up-to-date, most advanced technology is offered to the students. Programs
allow students to grow and learn more about the technology that is integrated within their learning experiences,
hopefully bringing more future-ready employees into the workforce in the years to come.

[Tweet]. Retrieved from https://twitter.com/on September 19, 2017.
Twitter Review:
@EdTech_K12 tweets of the Biometrics being used in K12 classrooms and on bus routes.
Biometrics measure unique traits of an individual, such as a fingerprint, retina, or facial features,
to identify someone. More companies are turning to biometric authentication instead of
passwords and keys because of its higher security and ease of entry. The main reason schools
would want to implement biometrics is to save time and make some transitional parts of the day
a bit easier. Unfortunately, it could be problematic because there are ways to acquire biometric
data without using the actual physical body part or person, but with the right implications and
engineering skills, as well as information given to the students and parents, biometrics will be a
great way to integrate technology into schools, allowing for classroom material instruction to run
smoother as a result and reach its full potential.

Twitter Review:
@EdTweetTech tweets an article explaining six ways technology helps educators tackle low literacy rates
in schools. Some examples include: apps to aid students with disabilities, digital project-based learning
engagement, and electronic word references in place of dictionaries. The article encourages teachers to
take advantage of these simple tools and encourage students to use them as often as they need. With
the growing advantages of technology, ideas such as these can be more prominent in classrooms. If
these ideas are put into action, students will be able to learn more effectively, without the heavy load of
books weighing them down. This is a great way for teachers to critically evaluate their classroom and
become more involved role models as well. These ideas will be extremely useful in the future.

Twitter Review:
@EdTech_K12 tweets an article projected towards educators. Google Forms is a widely known service,
known to many and only used in some classrooms. This article presses teachers to create assessments
for students, build rubrics, collect web-based assignments, and consider feedback from parents and/or
students with Google Forms. These tips can significantly advance a classroom by decades. With the help
of these encouraging ways to expand Google Forms can be a necessity within the classroom, to not only
benefit the students, but also develop the teacher and parents as well into an environment in which
their students will flourish.

students will learn more efficiently. This article talks about the importance of storyboarding to
plan their projects and learning how to edit. It is also mentioned that students effectively learn to
mix Creative Commons context into their projects. Moreover, students learn by completing goals
to produce a newscast and create a video tutorialthere are examples of these listed on the
website. This is a good technologically advanced educational skill for students to have because
they can perform almost anything though videos. They will be very knowledgeable of videos and
all the perks they offer both personally and professionally.

@AACTE tweets about a center launched for educational improvement to be made, and yes, that
includes technology. The University of Maryland College of Education has been designed to
focus solely on the improvement of organization between the university, school systems and
other educational organizations that focus on improving pre-K-12 education. Although the
organization plans to solely focus on educational matters within an interdisciplinary,
collaborative approach, available to dilute critical issues that face the school systems and the
state, they will also work on updating school systems and allowing more technology to become
one of the many important aspects of education. This will be a good measure to take because
students will not only be able to experience a well-developed educational community, but also
technology that will help them in the future.

Twitter Review:
This game, Keyboarding Zoo, is an amazing game that allows students to practice their
keyboarding skills, but also provides pictures and sounds for the students to see that there is an
animal that corresponds with each letter they type. By playing the game, students are informed of
many variations of animals that they may read about or even come in contact with. By selecting
letter names, students will learn specifically of the animal that corresponds to the letter typed,
as mentioned above; by selecting letter sounds, students learn of different sounds of the
animals as they type. This is a great game to teach children more elaborate informationthis
may also help tremendously with disabled students as well. As long as they have technology, this
game will be a valuable resource to them.

Germ Hunter is a game that students may find in order to help them learn more about health and
hygiene. In this game, students look for germs around the house and spray them with bacterial
spray. Students are also given fun facts about germ and diseases, how they can spread and where
they are found most often. This is a great tool for students of all ages to playeveryone needs to
know about germs and some of the health issues they may cause. This tool can even be played by
adultslike I said, everyone needs to know. Without the knowledge of bacterial and infectious
germs that could potentially be harmful to us, more people would be more sick and unhealthy.

Twitter Review:
This game, Geography Games: Map of the United States, allows students three guesses to choose
the correct state listed. If the students guess incorrectly, the state turns red; if the students guesses
correctly, the state will turn green. Points are awarded with each correct guess, and the goal is to
have the entire country green. This game is helpful to students and provided concise learning
skills to correctly name each state. Students will memorize correct states and eventually ace all
geography classes with this game. This is a good game to have students play because it they can
be aware of their location if they travel. Also, knowing the states becomes extremely necessary
in the adulthood of someones life, and students will know thanks to this game.

Hidden Expedition Titanic is a game where students can seek to find many items that could still
be entrapped in the ships ruins. Students virtually dive down to the wreck and collect items, but
be careful not to run out of oxygen! With this game, students will become more aware of what
happened in 1912, and possible become interested to learn even more about the ships history.
This is a great way for students to learn of history too, and discover it in their own way.

YouTube for Teachers is a section of YouTube dedicated to the hard-working teachers who try
to incorporate different types of learning into their classrooms. YouTube for Teachers can be
used as a collaborative, visually inclining experience for students, and in this case, teachers.
YouTube for Teachers is a great alternative that teachers can use to help students become more
digitally literate; however, students can personalize many learning activities with YouTube, so
this just does not limit YouTube to only teachers. This resource is great to use because it can

YouTube for Teachers is an effective learning tool that allows teachers to build upon a classroom
centered around 21st century skills. The skills necessary will propel students to adapt to the ever-
changing environment of this world. With YouTube being a very different way to learn for
students, as more teachers interact with the curriculum and tools YouTube as to offer, this
resource will help to build classrooms that offer the most well-rounded students. In this article
specifically, one teacher uses YouTube in the classroom. Lucky for her, few students are
unaware of the impact YouTube education tools are capable of, and they believe it brings a better
standard to the classroom.

Twitter Review:
The Science Channel on YouTube is one of the many resources students are offered through this
tool, which is YouTube. It provides detailed scientific experimental results and hypothesis
explanation that meets many requirements expected by students, and may also correspond with
what students accomplish during class. With educators providing students with these resources,
students can learn most effectively and they are able to visualize the lesson that were taught to
them. The Science Channel is shown on television each week, but with YouTube, students are
able to watch straight from their tablet or smartphone anytime. YouTube within the classroom
opens many doors for students to learn in various ways, and what they learn is endless.

Twitter Review:
CrashCourse is a channel on YouTube that is very successful among students if teachers would
propagate properly. CrashCourse peppers an extravagant amount of knowledge into fifteen-
minute videos ranging from physics to history for all ages. CrashCourse if a very different type
of video and engages students to listen and pay attention because if you blink, you may miss
something! They also add humor and small slices of consistencies, such as little side notes to
further explain various topics. Teachers can use CrashCourse to explain many lessons
(particularly science) and possibly even gain knowledge themselves. This channel can also be
used for homework as well, considering it does not take long to watch an entire topics video.
With CrashCourse being a great resource in YouTube for teachers, it will allow for more outside-
class studying and overall better student performance. CrashCourse is all teachers need to be
successful, Im sure John Green would agree.
