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,
