For class this week we had to read an article from edutopia.com that provided a list of ten tips for using technology in the classroom. There was nothing too groundbreaking for me in this article, but it was a good reminder to always be creative in how you think about technology. I have a few points I wanted to highlight.
- The common theme I see between this weeks article and last weeks Alan November article is using technology for communication. Using the Internet provides us with so many variations over the old fashioned pen pals if we know where to look.
- This article also talked about finding your classroom technology experts. I think of myself is being very good with technology and may not need too much help from a technical standpoint in my classroom, but I think its important to see what ways our students can think of to use technology.
- I wanted to ad some things to their list. They talk about using a website as a classroom hub, but they never talk about moodle.org. This is a program that can be installed for free onto the school servers and is very similar to blackboard.
