I have really enjoyed reading through his insightful posts. He gives a lot of helpful hints
for future use. I really like a tweet he posted recently. I will provide the picture below.
I think it is really important to allow students to help make decisions in the classroom. The
teacher should not be the only person making every decision. There can be twenty students and
only one of you. Ask students what they like or what feels most comfortable to them. A student’s
opinion is extremely important.
I also think this is really important. I think administrators should work with teacher more often.
Instead of administrators just giving a command to the teachers I think they should actually take
time to learn teachers valuable skills.

2. I really like reading through his posts about education. I like that he puts a lot of
inspirational quotes about education, One quote that he put stood out to me in particular it was,
“When we see ourselves as learners first, we don't see change as a threat but rather as a way of
being.” ~ @jvbevacqua. This quote really stands out to me because it really depicts how students
should think. Teacher have to let students know change is not a bad thing. Change is a way of
teaching.
The next quote is something I can relate to education because I feel that it is very true.
A classroom should not be regulated as a program. Children are not robots that have been
programmed to do exactly what you say when you say it. A relationship should be formed
between students and teachers. A relationship can allow better understanding and knowledge of
what type of learners are in the class, and it can also help drive the curriculum in the right
direction.

I really like that she is trying to show her students real world applications. She is
definitely teaching twenty first century education and it shows through her tweets. There
are several tweets she has posted that mentioned applying her lessons to the real world.
This is really important, and I’m glad she has given such a wonderful reminder of this.
 @web20classroom:
All I can say to this is wow! This is really awesome. I now can see a clear application to
QR codes. I am so glad we went over QR codes in class. This is an awesome way to use
them, and they are super easy to make. Steven Anderson gives many wonderful examples
of twenty first teaching activities.
I really liked this web site he posted to his twitter. Students have to learn to think

4. independently. These skills mentioned on this website are very helpful to remember for
the future.
 @ci350class:
I really love the social media tips especially the one about communicating to students on
their level. I think as an educator at times this can be hard to do. Sometimes putting yourself
back into the shoes of an elementary, middle school, high school, or college student may be hard.
Facebook and twitter are great to stay connected with students. This kind of contact is on
students’ level. It’s great to use this kind of application for reminding students of assignments.
I really enjoyed reading this guidebook. I did not realize what teachers really were doing now.
They are doing so many things we were just taught in this class. I really like the idea of using
social media as a way to communicate with students, parents, other classrooms, other schools,
and the world. Sharing ideas is part of teaching, and showing the world is just another huge part
of twenty first century teaching skills.
