After viewing the
different site names on the slide, I am going to say that I am probably more of
a visitor when it comes to technology. I use technology every day, but it is
limited to social media sites, phone apps, e-mail, and You Tube.
I was fascinated
by all of the sites that were listed and I think it’s wonderful that there are
endless possibilities when it comes to ways to incorporate technology into the
classroom.
·
Skype- I could invite a famous author to do a
video chat with my students. I have heard this suggestion many times from Dr.
Kaplan, and I think it’s a brilliant idea.
·
Slideshare- This would be an easier way to allow
students to share their presentations with each other.
·
Kahootit-
I enjoyed using this in tonight’s class and I think it’s a great way to check
for understanding and to build excitement amongst students. I would use this
for test review.
When choosing technology for the
classroom, it is vital that teachers choose relevant technology that aids in
student learning. When picking what technological tool to use, the teacher
needs to make sure that it fits in with the lesson’s objective.
I will be using
several technological tools in my classroom in order to better teach my
students. With so many options out there, I can’t wait to start finding which
ones work best in my classroom.
