#GSDEdTech Chat

Details for the January 2016 #GSDEdTech Twitter Chat

When: January 28, 2016 from 4:00-4:30pm
Topic: Online Tools for Reading and Research
Hashtag: #GSDEdTech
Questions:

  1. What online tools do you use to encourage a love for reading?
  2. What online research tools do you encourage your students to use?
  3. What book has inspired you as a teacher?​
  4. BYU, Utah State, or Utah?

The response and participation in December’s Twitter Chat was amazing! We had 80 educators from schools all over the district who participated last month.  The Ed Tech Department would like to congratulate Jude Nelson for being last month’s Chromebook Drawing winner and receiving 6 Chromebooks for her classroom.

As a way of encouraging technology integration into teacher practice, we will be holding a drawing again in January. Each Granite teacher who participates in the January 28th twitter chat will have their name placed in a drawing where they will have the chance at winning 6 Chromebooks for their classroom.

We are very excited about the January topic and can’t wait to see the amazing sharing that will take place between Granite teachers. Thanks for all you do to inspire and teach our students.
