This class has been very informative and has introduced me to many different ways to use technology in my classroom. I had heard of podcasts but never really understood what they were or used them. Now, after this course, I can see the benefit of using them to provide information to my students and to connect with other educators and gather information from them. Podcasts are something that I am going to try to utilize more. I think podcasts could be a nice change from doing in class presentations. I could have students create a podcast to share their information rather than just standing in front of the class reading from a poster.
Blogs also interested me. Blogs would be a great way for me to communicate with students, especially after school hours about assignments. Blogs also allow me to connect with other teachers and to share information. A blog would also be a great way for me to communicate with parents.
I hope to be able to apply some of the things I have learned in this course to my own classroom.
Blogs are a great way of communicating information to your students in a way that heightens their attention. Sharing information to your students along with parents is a very useful tool!
