In today's digital age, there's been a massive shift in the way we're teaching and learning in the classroom. On this episode of “B The Way Forward,” Dr. Monica Burns, author of EdTech Essentials, joins host Brenda Darden Wilkerson to unpack the unique ways to use technology in education. Monica is an EdTech consultant and expert who started the online platform, Class Tech Tips. She helps students, teachers, administrators and parents alike learn how they can benefit from and integrate new digital tools in their education journeys. Monica talks with Brenda about what types of tools and features are assisting with student engagement, how to integrate technology in varying educational settings and tips for how to successfully adopt EdTech in the classroom. They also discuss equity in education and how EdTech can help provide a voice to all people in all communities such as through accessibility features within particular tools. Monica hopes that everyone walks away with the knowledge and inspiration to integrate EdTech in their respective educational settings.  “The biggest way to make an impact is to listen and take action on what you're hearing. Not what you wish you heard, or what you sort of heard, but what you're actually hearing from people. What they need, what their pain points are, what they're asking for without saying. What are they telling you?” For more of Dr. Burns and her work check out... Class Tech Tips on the web, X, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Giving kids choice, agency, and options increases your ability to hear from everyone. What tools can assist with providing choice? Remove barriers for students by selecting tools that allow more students to participate. Ask yourself, “How can we leverage tools that my students and I already use?” Seesaw - An any age tool! Seesaw breakdown: Teachers push out activities (assignments) to students. Students can respond to an activity as directed or more open ended. Many ways for students to respond and show their work - Picture, video, draw, video of drawing, text, links, files, audio Seesaw can act as a LMS. Think Google Classroom + digital portfolio + parent communication! The Easy Ed Tech Podcast episode discusses Seesaw + Book Creator: https://classtechtips.com/2020/10/06/icons-in-early-childhood-082/ “I already have Google Classroom. Do I need Seesaw?” - It doesn’t have to be an either/or. Depends on goals and learning environment. Could be used for only a couple of students for those that need more ways to respond.  Lots of complementary aspects of using it. BookCreator - audio, video, picture responses for students. From Jake’s Blog - 16 types of Media you can add in Book Creator! Great for a culminating project and for students publishing work, but also could also be for everyday learning note-taking or journal.

Welcome to another episode of #TipTopTipsEdu! In this episode, I was pleased to welcome US former educator and all round edtech superstar Monic Burns, aka ClassTechTips, to the show.I’ve always really enjoyed my conversations with Monica about teaching and learning with technology when we’ve worked together. I was so looking forward to it, I shared about her involvement in the show prior to the recording and asked on Twitter if anyone had any questions that they’d like Monica to respond to with some #TipTopTipsEdu!Thanks to Nick Dempster, Linda Parsons, Kat Cauchi, Jon Neale and Sabeshan Gnanam for their responses, which formed some of the questions I asked Monica during the show. Here are the questions we covered: 1.      Can you share any #TipTopTipsEdu on how to use edtech to support EAL and SEND learners? (Kat Cauchi)2.      Do you have any #TipTopTipsEdu on slick starter activities that teachers can give to students that take the cognitive load off the teachers[LB1] [MA2]  at the start of lesson and promote collaboration/online oracy? (Linda Parsons) 3.      What are your #TipTopTipsEdu for getting staff buy-in to upskill and innovate or change the way things have traditionally been done in the classroom? (Sabeshan Gnanam)4.      Can you share any #TipTopTipsEdu on how to create digital portfolios for our youngest learners, such as those aged 4-8 years old? (Nick Dempster)5.      Do you have any #TipTopTipsEdu thoughts on where you might see apps like Clubhouse or TikTok as vehicles for delivering (and enhancing) learning experiences in the future? (Jon Neale)6.      Research shows that embedding oracy as a key part of the curriculum can really help with learners’ progress. Do you have any #TipTopTipsEdu on tools that can help to promote oracy in the classroom? (Mark Anderson)As you might expect, these questions brought about some fantastic conversations, but you’ll have to watch or listen to the episode to hear the insights shared!To learn more about Monica, her work, books and her various social accounts, please visit https://bit.ly/MonicaBIO where you’ll find everything you need.  Finally, thank you to Monica for taking some time out of her busy schedule to catch up and share her #TipTopTipsEdu on the show!

EdTech Recommendation (4:00) Kumospace.com Free immersive video chat built for groups Say goodbye to boring video calls. Get started in 10 seconds. Used by teams @ Google, Facebook, NASA and more! Break free from breakout rooms Spatial audio enables multiple simultaneous conversations in the same space. Just like IRL. Customize your space Rich illustrations, interactive apps, and customizable environments delight guests and sponsors alike. Featured Content (10:35) What is Clubhouse? Clubhouse is an invite-only audio platform -- iOS only as of Feb. 2021 -- where users can start conversations, listen in to conversations, and network. When you open the app you’ll find one spot to search for users or clubs (which are like affinity groups) you’d like to follow, and a calendar of upcoming events based on the interests you selected when you first signed up. You can see what rooms other people are a part of, jump around to listen in, and raise your hand if you want to be invited up to the stage. What is the value of Clubhouse for Educators? How I am using Clubhouse? I have spent the last month mostly lurking I have started to host rooms - One of my first was literally called, Talking EdTech while Waiting for Tacos I am exploring my interests I am getting the opportunity to listen to conversations and engage in conversations that I wouldn't normally get the chance to jump into. It's like a 24-hour per day conference and really resembles EdCamp. Anyone can start a conversation and you can leave a conversation at any time. Yeah, this might be trendy but I don't think I've ever led you astray, and I promise that you will get value. Clubhouse Tips for Teachers If you can get an invite from someone GET IT! Why Not? Listen Explore ALL your interests Connect and follow people who are interesting to you Get involved and raise your hand Start a conversation How are others using Clubhouse? Tisha Poncio Bonnie Nieves Don Sturm Eric Guise Lisa Dabbs Final Thoughts Of course, with any social media platform, success will come down to the quality of content. For people like you and me, the conversation needs to be practical and useful. Clubhouse is in its early days, and it remains to be seen what ‘quality’ looks like on this platform. Still, there certainly seems to be an opportunity to democratize discussions around education — at least until the same old voices grab all the eartime.

On today's episode, we chat with Dr. Monica Burns, a former New York City school district teacher, Apple Distinguished Educator, and the Founder of ClassTechTips.com. Monica was part of her school’s leadership team and was a vocal advocate for bringing one-to-one technology into her classroom. Monica has presented to teachers, administrators and tech-enthusiasts at numerous national and international conferences, including SXSWedu, ISTE, FETC and EduTECH, and she is a regular contributor to Edutopia. Monica visits schools across the country to work with PreK-20 teachers to make technology integration exciting and accessible. Throughout our conversation, Monica shares the challenges teachers are facing with many competing agendas when it comes to instruction – thinking about the needs of their students: equity of access, student engagement, learning gaps, student stress and trauma, not to mention the regular instruction. She shares what she believes teachers are prioritizing and if that will change over time. She also provides examples of what some districts have done to successfully navigate these challenges through the lens of the student, the teacher, and the parent. And Monica provides her perspective on what she believes will become part of our best practices for education---even when the pandemic is behind us.

If their students are going to continue learning on a distance, or they’re anticipating that might be on the schedule at some point this fall. Yes, well, we’re all trying to figure out how to pivot from the face-to-face setting to that virtual setting and then possibly go into that hybrid setting. And then order to get into that face-to-face setting, there are so many different transitional pieces. All educators right now are really trying to pick up and move, just to be able to interact with their students, it’s really a very challenging time period right now. (5:18)•    And then I’ll name the three tools. You could do this in CS, you can do this in teams, you could do this in your pod, don’t get caught up on that. This is what we really want to do here. But we need to have something in our tool belt to make it happen, and so just like you asked, how do I keep up? Well, early on, it was really a searching situation where I was going out searching through the App Store, what’s new today? What’s that? And then it kind of has evolved for me into a balance of… So, that still happens, right? I’m still mindful of what people talking about, what is all this energy around flip grid that was happening a couple of years ago? Or, everyone’s really excited about Wake, let’s take a closer look at what is jumping out for them. (9:12)•    I often am sharing the term open-ended creation tool, and this idea, that if you have this great tool that you can use it to make book trailers, math tutorials. If you can give kids a tool that becomes a blank canvas for them, that they can use in lots of different ways, that’s also a really good way to support them at a distance and doesn’t need to limit their creativity. That is great. I personally will be putting a lot of that information into my backpack because yeah, we’re… For my district in particular, we don’t have an LMS, we were strictly using just Microsoft in the team’s platform, which I think it’s a great platform, but it does have a pickup, so that’s where I’m struggling, and I know the district is saying, Hey, we need you guys to… We wanna make it easier for our students and our parents and our community members with gaining that access, please do not share another system. Let’s stick with what we have, and I believe in that. (13:45)•    What would happen if I was a senior citizen or I was someone who wasn’t used to being in these spaces or didn’t speak English as a first language? And so I think about that a lot, just navigating the world and how tough things can be. And it’s definitely true when we look at these spaces, and I’m not excusing anyone’s frustration or the not so nice Facebook post, or all the things that I think are happening right now. We’ve all seen come across where people are feeling like they just want things to go back to normal or they just want everyone back in school and all those things. I do understand that it’s been a very tough time for family’s. And that part of our reflection includes streamlining, communication, lining platforms, coming out ahead of anything that we anticipate as being challenges, as well as making sure that those supports are there as much as possible. I think that is something that will make everyone’s life a lot easier and therefore save us the time and energy to get to what it is we want to get to, which is really supporting students no matter where they are. (18:48)•    The other option that I love, and I love the Adobe Spark tools, I do some work with their team, I’ve got books about Spark activities, so definitely a spark focus and they’re free too, which is great. Mark Page and Spark page are single landing pages, you could connect them if you want to. But it’s really, it’s not like a Google site, where you might have a hierarchy of things. It’s really about that single collection or single landing page, and so that is one where you can pull together a whole series of links, you can embed YouTube videos or Vimeo videos if you wanted to, you can make buttons, you can write a paragraph that says, ‘This is why this resource might be good for you’, and then put the link right below it. So, I like that also for building a single website or page, you don’t need to have any sort of coding or HTML. (25:45) WHEN DOES IT AIR…August 26, 2020

By now everyone is probably back in the groove of homeschooling, OR at least trying to be right?  I think the transition from Christmas break back into school is harder sometimes than the transition back after a summer break. It seems like we just want to hibernate for the winter right?! Well, one way you can get back into the groove of things is by doing some fun tech activities with your kids! Today’s guest can help you do just that. I am chatting with Monica Burns. She recently sent me a book of hers titled 40 ways to Inject creativity into the classroom, and when I first received it the title kind of stood out to me because hey we are not IN a classroom right? But, as I looked it over I realized there were so many fun ideas that I could incorporate into my homeschool and co-op classes. In this episode, today, Monica and I chat technology, why creativity is SO important, what apps and resources we can use for our special needs students (which floored me by the way, I had NO idea some of these existed) and so much more. Dr. Monica Burns is an EdTech and Curriculum consultant, author and former New York City public school teacher. She visits schools across the country to support PreK-20 teachers to make technology integration meaningful and sustainable. Monica’s website ClassTechTips.com helps educators place “tasks before apps” by promoting deeper learning with technology.    If you liked this episode be sure to leave a rating or review.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Monica Burns, an amazing, creative, inspiring educator as our special guest presenter on Classroom 2.0 LIVE on February 4, 2017.

Monica will share some of her favorite tips about how we can use technology to support formative assessment to improve the learning process. Webinar Description Collecting meaningful formative assessment data and putting this information into action is a challenge for teachers at every grade level. Technology tools can make the collection and organization of formative assessment data more efficient. #FormativeTech can save instructional time, and help teachers organize data so strategic interventions can reach students in need.
