Digital Technology
Once again thanks for following my blog on using technology in the classroom. This blog is for my #ETEC5610 course. I’ve learned a lot from this course, especially about using technology in the class. As we all know, technology occupies an important place within students' lives. Today I’ll be discussing two technology tools that could help you and I in the classroom.
One tool is Prezi. Prezi can be used for presentations. By using Prezi, you can use slides to get through your lesson for the class. Prezi is a visual learning tool which allows you to create maps of texts, images, videos, graphics, etc… and present them in a nonlinear way. Prezi is a PowerPoint presenter but in a more creative style. Prezi is a great tool for interactive classroom sessions or group projects. Students can cooperate in real time with up to ten others, in the classroom or at home, to brainstorm and build a presentation on one shared virtual whiteboard.
The other tool is teacher tube. I’m just learning about this tool but it seems like it can help keep students engaged during class. This tool give you the opportunity to present the material in more than one form. Sometimes we don’t present material where everyone understand, with teacher tube, the student is able to get the material from another teacher who may present different.
Hope this was a help to you
