Greetings,
Welcome back, today express our opinions Web 2.0 tools that are useful to us in the classroom. I find 2 that are very useful and vital to me as a future educator. One of them being power point presentations. I find this to be a great tool for the classroom because it aids students in focusing and it also aids them in following along. It is also a way to get creative with presentations to grab your students attention, this brings me to the next tool I believe is very vital. This is video tools, when I was in high school I loved when my government and science teacher would show me videos on a certain topic, this helped me reference back to the video when I was testing and trying to explain the topic to myself for testing reasons or to generally understand the subject.
An Web 2.0 tool I would love to use in my classroom is podcast. I want to teach US government, podcast would really change up the day and hold my students attention. Podcasts cover recent groundbreaking news and they also have a recording of history, when I have to revert back to explain old things in history that still impact us in society. I would also like to utilize recent videos in pop culture to explain to my students about government policy and why it is so important to know your rights and be able to educate others on their rights as well. Videos showcasing arrest and court cases from law and order can definitely put things into perspective for my students.
A technology advancement that I feel holds a lot of promise is correspondence courses. Often times students get sick for a while or it can be the common cold preventing them from coming to school. However when this happens it is easy to get left behind and get quite discouraged. These courses provide books and assignments that were missed for the student through the postal delivery system. This is a way to help students stay on track with their class mates and not feel entirely left behind when they are able to return to the physical school setting. Thank you again for reading !
