Week 12 Glogster

After creating a glogster account and explore how to use it in general, I think this is a very useful technology to be applied in classroom. Glogster allows the design of a presentation or poster with multimedia sources, such as words, pictures, videos, and audios. This can be both used by students and teachers. To use it in educational context, in particular ELA, I think teachers can design a poster that integrate audios and videos to teach students new vocabularies. For example, if teachers want to teach the words like tadpoles, froglet, frog, they can insert a video showing the life cycle of a frog followed by an image to ask students to match the word with the picture. To access the affordance of Glogster, the following is considered: Accessibility: glogster is readily available to both teachers and students as long as there are Internet connections.

Week 11 - 1 Reflection

The VoiceThread is one web-based technology that can be easily applied in classroom. It only requires a computer and the Internet access without any other software. Teachers and students can all register and perform interactive actions on it. Teachers can hold conversations to include images, documents and videos. Teachers can also set groups or one-on-one learning groups. This makes the participation and collaboration easier. This technology can be applied in various subjects, such as language arts, science, math, etc. I think I will use this tool in my future teaching as it helps engage students.
