A number of technologies have been presented this semester to help you reach outside of your immediate surroundings for personal growth and instructional purposes.
How could you use these technologies to help yourself create better learning opportunities for your students? How could you use them to help yourself continue to develop as a teacher throughout your career? I have most enjoyed learning about educational blogs and their uses in the classroom, both from a teacher's and learner's perspective. I am going to enjoy using blogs with my students to help them be more reflective about projects and activities and to help them be better communicators. As a learner, I was surprised by the number of blogs created by fellow educators that I will be interested in following and participating.
What are the benefits of using the communications tools? Accessibility and ease are the two best benefits of using communication tools. Online communication tools are accessible to most students and are easy to use.
What are the dangers? Students putting too much information in cyberspace and not using the tools appropriately. Also, I think lack of language skills online can be a problem.
How can technology help you better reach out to all of your students regardless of their race, gender or economic status? If you stay on top of the new technology that is out there, you can introduce your students to the technology. If you are introducing all students to a new skill, their race, gender and economic status doesn't matter.
