As we near the beginning of a new school year, Social Media and the Internet in general are overloaded with Apps and tools to make the next school year easier and better for students, parents and teachers. I love the added resources technology provides, but to be honest, all the different options for Apps, Websites and Programs are becoming overwhelming. There are so many options and it is hard to know which one is the best without trying them out and discovering what works individually. Due to all the options it is vital to remember that technology should enhance our learning and the tools we choose need to meet our goals. It is easy to start using technology for the sake of using technology. To prevent this from happening it is important that we state our goals and search for technology that meets our goals.
My Goals and the Technology I am Using to Meet Them
1. Digital Portfolios: Google Sites
2. Classroom Newsletter:
3. Classroom Blogs: Kidblog
4. Assessment: Class Dojo
Programs I am Looking Into
1. Edmodo: Using in my 5th Grade Media Class
2. Remind 101: Use to remind parents about concerts and other events.
Do you have any technology suggestions? Which apps do you use and how do you use them in your class?
