Reflection 2

The tools will help me communicate with everyone a lot better. My students will be able to know what they missed in class by using google site. It will also give the students a chance to know what is coming up in school. The students’ patents won’t be left in the dark of what is going on at school with their children. They will also be able to check out the site to know how to help their child complete any homework they might have. The parents will no longer be left in the dark by accident. For my colleagues, they can get an idea of where I am at for teaching what the students need to know. By using these tools, my colleagues and I can exchange ideas easier and will be able to help each other out better.

I could use the calendar to help remind me of upcoming events of project going to be done in class. This way, I won’t get behind in class because of me. The tools can help me achieve my classroom objectives by keeping everyone informed and up to date.

A pro of using these tools is being able to communicate with the students’ parents easier. For example, when the teacher needs to talk to a students parent, the teacher usually sends home a note. The note is easy to loose. But by using the tools on google, no more notes lost. I can’t see any cons to using these tools in the classroom. I plan on using these tools in the classroom that I someday teach.

Video Section

The Video’s I found neat and very informing. Mr. Deuy and his fractions song was a wonderful way to teach children about fractions. I found the song very up beat and fun to listen to. The Introducing Web 2.0 gave me some new ideas of what I can use that is out there. I enjoyed these two clips.
