Blog Post #5

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.
