Web 2.0
I have always heard the term 2.0, but never really knew what it meant. Turns out, we use 2.0 sites in our daily lives. Since I am not currently teaching, its difficult to know whether a site will be good for me and my school. So, I visited a bunch of the ones that Prf. Schmidt put up, and the class chatter one is really awesome! I am thinking that students at home can almost feel like a part of trip. One way I thought that this site could be useful was if you had two classes taking the same trip on different days. The class that goes first could blog about it telling the other class the best parts of the trip. After the second class went, they could blog about their thoughts. You could then use the site to have the students compare and contrast their experiences.

I have to check out the class chatter myself. It sounds like a great way to keep the kids connected in an educational way, not just gossiping on facebook.
ReplyDeleteLove those beagles!
I know what you mean by having a hard time with some assignments not teaching. I have not actually taught a class. It does help having 3 small children. I have used them for everything!!

Class Chatter is a good one. Besides the TAG teacher that I mentioned I know a LAL teacher who uses it to discuss novels that her class is teaching. Sometimes the quieter students really come out of their shells when they're typing instead of speaking and it allows everyone to have their say. Sometimes class discussions get taken over by a few participants if you're not careful.
