There are numerous Web
2.0 technologies, that even though they do not meet the ELA standards, they are
extremely useful in the classroom. As mentioned in the podcast, students can
share information among their peers through twitter and delicious. Instead of
manually texting each classmate, the student is allowed to notify them of their
beneficial discoveries in a simplistic manner. Honestly, I could not find a web
2.0 tool that is useless because each tool will expose students to new
materials and allows teacher to expand their professional development.
A web 2.0 tool that I would
use if I was a teacher, is Wikispaces. This tool would allow me to update my
students of any assignments or prospective events. In addition, wikispace is an
easier method of contacting myself. A student may have a question regarding towards
their assignments but are not familiarized with a quick contact method.
However, being active on Wikispaces will allow me to answer any questions my
students have. Click here
to access Wikispace.
A technology advancement
that will hold tremendous promise for education, is three- dimensional
printing. 3D printing will change how teaches present certain material, since
they will have a physical model to provide. This advancement is extremely
beneficial to kinesthetic and visual learners, since they will be able to feel
and see the material first-handed.
