Week 4

Hi again,

This week I would like to tell you about some stuff I read in the blogs from week 2.

In the blog class tech tips, they talk about the benefits of reading on digital devices rather than reading from a book.

        "When reading on digital devices, students have options to interact with text as they read. From tapping on the screen to learn definitions.. the reading experience on tablets can transform the way we traditionally think about reading text."

I think that books belong to the past, and we definitely need to use technology as much as possible!

In the blog Educational Technology and Mobile Learning, I was amazed from a very cool tool called Kaizena. 

Using this tool allow teachers to provide audio feedback to their students, and also, students can provide feedback on each other's works. The feedbacks can be private or public, and you can send it through the app, web or email. 

I think that hearing your teacher's feedback make it more meaningful and personal. Moreover, the teacher can be more specific and clear about the mistakes, rather than just mark X, so the students get a good opportunity to learn from their mistakes. 

that's it for this week :)

take care,

Week 3

Hi everyone,

In week 3 of this course we had the opportunity to explore some new tools that with most of them I was not familiar with.

These tools can help teachers in many ways, and you can easily find a way to integrate them in your lessons.

One of my favorite tools is Quizlet which is excellent for teaching vocabulary.

Another tool that I liked is text compactor which summarizes any text within a few seconds.

Can't wait to explore more technology tools that will help me to improve my lessons.

Week 2

Hi everyone,
I have to say that it was bit difficult to choose only three blogs, but eventually I chose the blogs that I thought could be the most helpful for me.

The cool cat teacher  blog is written by Vicki Davis, a full-time classroom teacher. 

The blog divided into seven categories, and the two I liked the most are: Technology and Social media.

I learn about apps for painting and creating that I can use with my younger students, and the most significant tool I found in her blog is "Google classroom" which can make the teacher's life much easier.

Educational technology and mobile learning  blog is all about educational web tools and mobile apps for teachers and educators.

I found out some cool apps for elementary students like " Tellagami", "book creator" and "pic collage".

  

Class tech tips blog contains many tips that can help teachers. 

One app I found interesting is "class-tag". With this app teachers can set up parent-teacher conferences in minutes. I think this is a wonderful tool that can help me schedule my time when I'll be homeroom teacher in future.

Hope you'll find these blogs interesting and enricing.

Take care,

I believe that nowadays, teachers have to use technology in classroom as much as possible.

I'm very excited to learn more about the different use of technology in class, and hope to find it useful and enriching.
