Q5- I hope to learn about different tech platforms, how to adapt them in my classroom (which doesn't naturally lend itself to tech as much as other subjects), and to plan how to use tech regularly to create better learning opportunities and moments of connection for my students. #mctechsavvy #teched

Q4- I think my students would say I was definitely better than other teachers with using tech, but still behind others. They would probably say that I could incorporate it more regularly and intentionally. Looking forward to changing that for next year! #mctechsavvy #edutech #education #musiced

Q3 The biggest challenge I (and prob. other educators) have is not having adequate time to utilize new tech. Although PD is given to introduce us to new tech tools, it takes time to adapt all of our lessons to new platforms- and it's time we don't have the luxury of having #mctechsavvy #edutech

Q2. A small tech change I could make that would have a big impact on student learning is gamifying our music theory topics (which can be dry). I did it with a few topics and realized how much more engaged they were and how much more they retained. #mctechsavvy #musiced #edutech #education

Q1 SightReadingFactory.com has transformed my class this year. I used to create daily examples for gr 6-8 that aligned with my state's standards; SRF does it in seconds. It saves time, it creates a high degree of fluency in my students, and they love the feedback. Total game changer. #MCtechsavvy

Loving the Summer Institute Classes at Molloy University! Currently finishing up my 15th year at SCSD teaching middle school music and I am LOVING the dive we're taking into all the tech platforms around. Excited to figure out how to use some in my own rehearsals! #MCtechsavvy #musiced #edu

Q5 One of the biggest education trends is AI creating truly personalized learning opportunities. The ability to immediately adjust reading levels or how content is explained for every student in seconds is a game changer- it's just a matter of making it accessible for all students. #brandyourclass

Q4- I love using social media as a teacher, but certain platforms are more conducive to the classroom setting. I prefer Instagram, followed by FB (outdated for my students, but used by many caregivers). IMHO, other platforms are harder to control in terms of appropriate interaction. #brandyourclass

Q3. Collaboration is key when it comes to the tech learning curve. I am always helping less experienced teachers with tech & our library media specialists have helped me on numerous occasions as well. There's always something I can teach, & there is always something I can learn. #brandyourclass #edu

Q2: AI is understandably controversial in the classroom. That being said, it can make mindless, time-consuming tasks more efficient so that we can actually dedicate our time to make our classrooms, curricula, & teaching style reflect the best version of ourselves #brandyourclass. #education #musiced

Q1: I don't have much of a "digital tattoo" (more like a temporary tattoo- it's there but sporadic and inconsistent). I'm hoping this course will help me find easy ways to be more intentional and consistent with social media in my class #brandyourclass #education #professionaldevelopment #musiced

Hello! Excited to be taking a #brandyourclass course at Molloy University! Finishing my 15th year teaching and am excited to use social media to create community within my classroom. Would love to hear what else other educators have done with social media in their classroom! #education #musiced
