We want to congratulate Nikki Lavergne on winning last week’s Flipgrid challenge. Nikki is the winner of a Wall Ed Tech prize box filled with some geeky goodies.
Nikki is an avid listener and a technology coach for Livingston Parish schools. (Tell about her STEAM bus?) Nikki shared some ideas for an upcoming episode. Here is what Nikki had to say (play clip). With that in mind, we would like to hear from you about the tech tools you use to teach your class when you are not there! We have a special flipgrid set up for this topic. Click the link in the show notes or you can email us at jared or kari @walledtech.com.
Any comments may be used in one of our upcoming episodes! Here is the link to our Flipgrid: https://flipgrid.com/b0eab2bd.

Question: How can we use technology to teach life lessons?
The age old question: to lock down or not to lock down (blocking all student access to content and social media)
Locking down the internet
Pros: Students cannot access material that has been “black listed” by the district. This keeps them from accessing materials they do not need to be seeing at school or on the device. It protects students from outside sources being able to reach them while at school.
Cons: When sites are blocked for students, that also means they are blocked from teachers as well. Just because a district says it shouldn’t be used, does not mean it is a website that should not be accessed or that contains inappropriate or offensive materials.
Modeling, modeling, modeling
This is the best thing we could do for our students.
At times, teachers are the only models students have...make it a good example.
This can provide us an opportunity for a teachable moment.
