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.

In the article “Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education: The Instructional Dynamics of Picture Boks and Primary Classrooms”, the author illustrates how multimodal is important in classroom education. It can offer students with multiple elements, such as color, visual, video, sound, etc. It also evaluates the practices that are possible in classroom. This article is really important and refreshing for me. It allows me to understand how I can apply the concept of multimodality in my future teaching. It also tells me how such practices can be effective and attractive for students. In the article “Using the ADDIE Model to Design Second Life Activities for Online Learners”, the authors point out the importance of using SL in classroom.
