I really liked the tips given in the video. I plan to use most of them in my classroom, especially Smart board and blogs. I do not think I will use social networks in school because most schools forbid you to be friends with your students on Facebook. I like the tip of using teleconferencing and plan to do so in my class to gain new perspectives on subject matter around the world. Another tip I plan to use is interactive exercises in the classroom. There were many times that I had to do an activity on the internet in high school growing up and they always helped me recall things faster and more accurately.
I was familiar with all of the types of technology being integrated into the class room. The only reason for that is being a student in this class. Before this class I knew what a blog was but not how to make one or manage it. I had never herd of Google docs before. I had also never herd of Dropbox or Kahn Academy. Lastly I had never herd of a wiki and did not know how to use skype. Thanks to this class I have learned more about technology and will be a better teacher for it.
Heath,
ReplyDeleteI did not know about a lot of those things either until this class. Learning how to use these different forms of teaching will be very useful to us! I agree with you about the social networks. Personally, I do not think I will use facebook with my students either. We might change our minds once we become teachers, and the schools that forbid it might change theirs too...

You have apparently learned a lot. Great. Put them to good use when you start teaching.
