Using all of the different tools within web 2.0 for class and our group projects I am now able to see what programs promote different aspects of learning such as collaboration, inquiry, problem solving etc.
My group (2) has had a great amount of success using google docs. This program has been our standing gound for holding our weekly meetings and designing our group business card. We continue to use google docs actively as we are currently creating our slideshow presentation about constructivism.
Litacme was also great to use for designing our wiki. As I have spoken about in other blogs, I had never created a wiki before, nor did I even know what it was. With help from my group members and exploring litacme I was able to collaborate with my peers and problem solve my way through actually creating a wiki for teachers. Once I got the hang of it, it was actually fun!
Using blogger.com and posting to the teachers forum has been a terrific way for the class and Dr. S to stay connected. We are all able to view eachothers work, blogs, etc to keep up-to-date within the class. It is also useful for us to ask eachother questions comment to each others work. Dr. S is fabulous at asnswering our questions thoroughly and quickly. (Thanks Dr. S :)
I hope I am able to continue to feel more confident in the tools we are using and get to a level of complete understanding by the end of the semester. Like I always say- its a work in progress!
My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!
The Way of the Future
We are the 21st Century Teachers
