Reflection #6

There are several tools that I have learned about that I will use as a teacher. Facebook, Blogger, Knol, and Brain Pop are just a few tools. I can use these tools to communicate with my students, their parents, and my colleagues. My students can also use these tools to complete assignments and learn about different subjects.

Tools such as, Facebook and Blogger are a great way for me to communicate with my students, their parents, and my colleagues. They can also communicate with me. If they ever have a question about anything we can communicate by using these tools. This is a way I can get the answers to them in a short amount of time.

Tools such as, Brain Pop, can greatly help my students. If my students are struggling with any subject they can use this tool to help them better understand the subject. They are able to work on problems in different subjects, and they aren't just told if they do it wrong, but they are shown how to do it right. It is a great and fun way for my students to learn! I know I will use these tools in my classroom, and many more!

Once again the video for this blog was a huge eye opener. It amazes me that most teachers are not using technology to teach their students. That is how children learn now! They need technology to complete assignments. Why are we as teachers letting them sit in their desks and write all day long? We need to start getting them involved. They need to use technology in and outside the classroom. We must start making the change!
