some points I wrote down:

Always use the power of a teachable moment Use a tool because of what it does not because it is trendy empower someone who is excited Power of technology = every student learns different moving from standardization to customization If Helen Keller was in my school would she still become Helen Keller

All students should create audio/ video at some point in class

Ask 2 students in the class than me Flatten your classroom all students need to know hyperlinking and embedding Digital Citizenship- online behavior has offline consequences Technologies unleash and transform kids we are a mix but make sure you hit every piece of the pie Voice Thread Reach kids with interest projects Invention Always should be a part of a classroom Think of Student readiness level Hall of fame for the more-than ready students rubrics good self-tracking for more than ready and a check in for the need help kids "I only provide the conditions in which they learn" Einstein Group Backchannel --- ticket to leave
