1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
My favorite tools are
--Photostory
--Tagging and Social Bookmarking
--Blogging
I would like to set up a class blog for use in Math and Social Studies. As math and social studies is in our everyday lives, I would encourage kids to make weekly posts concerning current events or how they may have used math on a particular day to decide on something to buy (better deals).
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
I have come to the realization that our kids are so different today than when I was in school. They are absolutely driven by these 21st century tools and need them in order to maximize their learning. I will try my best to incorporate these tools as much as possible into my lessons and everyday activities.
I expected to learn about many different tools for use within the classroom. The program although overwhelming met my expectations and I now feel that i at least have my feet "wet" in each of the tools. I hope and aspire to have the time and energy needed to incorporate and delve further into learning about these great tools!
