Hello!
The kinds of information you tend to see on a school teachers class page vary. Some teachers like to explain what is happening in their classroom while some teachers use it as an information center for the whole school. The class pages usually lay out what is going on in the class, the general information that students and parents need to know for the school year. Also, important dates for the school and the individual classroom are usually found on the class page as well as a reminder for the students and parents. Some teachers use this as their primary way of giving out the information rather than by email or other ways of communication because it's easier.

I envision myself using technology for my professional responsibilities to make everything simpler. Technology in this day and age is almost a necessity when dealing with stuff professionally of course depending on the job or tasks you have to complete. The more that technology keeps advancing is making it more viable to get information out and also to receive information. Specific tool I would use as a teacher would be Youtube and Kahoot. Mostly because I enjoy the more interactive approach to things as I find them more enjoyable and easier to learn. Of course if theres are other interactive tools i'd implement them into the plan down the road to make it a better environment for the students.
I enjoyed doing the project on Pbworks but there are a lot of things I wish were different about the site itself. It was way a weird layout to me and i think it could use major updating to change the presentation. It was harder to navigate than most sites now and it was way to clustered on certain parts for my liking. The wiki itself serves a good purpose and I would use it for the general purpose of putting information on a single wiki and putting it out for my students or by my students. I would probably not use the platform often though as I think there are better and more visually pleasing ways to get information out the way the wiki does.
Hi, Eric!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading through your blog post —thank you for sharing! I definitely agree that technology has become a necessity. Regardless of what profession you decide to go into, learning how to use technological devices seems to be a basic requirement. I hope I am a bit more tech savvy by the time I finish this course.
Also, I love Kahoot! I agree with your statement that interactive activities are so important. They enhance the learning experience so much!
Hey Eric!
ReplyDeleteI love Kahoot, it's a great way for student engagement for curriculum activities. I also agree that Technology is a necessity within the classroom as well as presented on a website design. I liked the website you should and how you know that this is a good resource for a website. :)
I love Kahoot, and I mentioned it in my blog as well. I appreciate you mentioning how technology is a necessity and your constructive criticism on Pb Works.
