I believe that these ideas are great tools to use in school, at home, and in the workplace.
This is great to have face to face chats, to be able to communicate faster, quicker, and more efficiently. You can make the most of your resources, and use them to your advantage with your students.
2. Use music more often
Using music in the classroom can help a child relax and get into a "zone", and effectively complete their work. It is a great way to "use music to your advantage" and communicate with your students.
3. Use teleconferencing tools
Skype is a great way for students and teachers to communicate with each other over long distances.

This can help kids develop skills and become more productive.
8. Use social networks
Facebook can be controversial to parents and teachers, but if used correctly, can also be very helpful. Students can get help with assignments by using closed group pages, where the student can discuss assignments and get help from other students and teachers. Our EDM310 Facebook has been very beneficial to me. I have been able to ask questions, when I don't understand something and there have been many people to respond to me and help with my questions!

Hey Deena!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of tools! I most definitely agree, I also think music is great for the classroom. I know the students love it too!
Hey Deena,
ReplyDeleteI like your list! I don't see how this is part of blog post 13 though. There were 4 options for this blog post:
Option 1: Standard Blog Assignment: which you use Wolfram Alpha
Option 2: My Teach is an App
Option 3: Engage in an E-Media Fast
Option 4: Read A Book
You need to go back and complete one of these to get credit for blog post 13.

Wait, I see the mistake. You named your blog post 14 "Blog post 13". I see the original below.
ReplyDeleteHey Deena!
ReplyDeleteGreat post,
I hope that you will be able to see some of these tips in your own classroom! I think that you know many of these tips already after being exposed here in EDM.
