- Although Web 2.0 tools are not available to every class/school, they are not option in the classoom. The advanced technologies in Web 2.0 tools allow us to communicate with each another. Examples of Web 2.0 tehnologies that I think are useful include social media, YouTube, Diigo, and blogs. The podcast refers to YouTube, blogs, and social media as more "passive" in the classroom because of the students' roles in them. YouTube can be used to show students different videos that help explain the lesson that a student is working on. Blogs can be used to keep a class page that has things such as upcoming assignments, homework updates, and other announcements. According to the podcast, Twitter can be used in the class by providing a networking opportunity for students to follow authors, public figures and to be able to talk to a direct source. Diigo can be used to support teacher professional developments. Twitter also can be used for teacher professional development because it allows teachers to connect with other and exchange ideas.
- I plan on teaching Special Education. In my class I might use scribd which is found at https://www.scribd.com/ and is a tool that will allow me to find interesting books to read to my students that we may not have access to in the school library. If I end up working at a school in an impoverished area, this might come in handy because I can download these ebooks/audio books to my computer. I can also use it to get sheet music so that I can play music to my kids on either the trumpet of piano. Scribd has endless possibilities to the number of books (both ebooks and audiobooks), comics, sheet music, and documents.
- I believe that 3D Printing technology holds the greatest promise for education. This is because the students will be allowed to physically analyze an object and hold the object in their hands. This allows students to examine and explore these items. I believe that the 3D printing technologies can be used to create models that they can later turn into prototypes and develop.

I really like your explanation in Prompt 1. Can you think of a way to use YouTube in a more active way? So the students are doing, not just observing?
ReplyDeleteWell, I am sure that today the development of technology affects education like never before. We can see an affect of technology almost in every classroom. Moreover, there are so many great tools that help both teachers and students. Many of these tools make an educational process easier! Also, there is such a helpful tool like, for example, Top Resumes Writers. With the help of this service it’s possible to create quality resume writings that help to find good jobs!
