After looking through the website I have realized that there are many ways you can make your classroom fun and have the children want to learn more. The main ways that I have chosen is, new technology. I choose this because you can do many things with technology and it is not just used for students to play games but it is to have the students interact and have fun because that is the way that some students will learn.

Accessibility tools

Today I will be writing about some tools that I found were best for students, Technology is one of the best tools that you can use in the classroom and even though some schools do not allow cellphones it may be the best bet to allow them to have fun and use the cellphone for educational purpose to keep the children active and paying attention. The next is having the children support each other this is important because you need to make sure that all of the students get together and are comfortable around each other. The next is giving students the information that they need like certain places or websites they can go to, to help them and give them ideas. The next tool is coding, coding gives the chance for the children to show their creativity and it shows what student is into those type of things and what child is not very interested. The next is writing assistant, this is helpful because if you can communicate with someone to help you it is easier to finish assignments, but also some children just copy and paste other than reading it and explaining it in their own words. The last tool is comments printer, I say this because when a student writes a essay or something of that sort, a teacher can leave comments to help a student to make their assignments better and for the student to get a better understanding.

Hyperdocs

Hyperdocs is a place where you can make lessons and keep them very organized and it is a easier way to teach, you can include videos like ed puzzles or even the students can participate and type on the lesson plan by using google docs and sharing it with the students. Any teacher can do it, it is easy and fun for the students, give it a try.

virtual field trips

Once I clicked on the link provided for us I clicked on the 360 cities, and it was very interesting and there were some positive and negative points about this. A positive is you can go to a different country with a click of a button and you can look around and see everything over the screen, the negative is that you can not really move around you just move in circles and zoom in and out it would be cooler if you clicked on somewhere in the picture and it would be some information or something like that.

Communication

After reading from Sail the & C’s chapter 2 communication, I have learned that students can learn in all different types of ways. I have also learned that for a student to learn they need to be interactive and interested in the lesson so add some fun activities for the students to do together so they can have a little bit of fun.

I choose this picture because it shows how the kids are having fun and interacting with each other

Educational Technology

The grade I choose was K-8, the tool I choose was The worlds largest lesson here is the link, https://worldslargestlesson.globalgoals.org this tool is very helpful if you want to become a teacher. This website gives you a grade to pick from and it gives you lesson plans for the class to do. I would definitely use this in my class because it could help me understand my students because each lesson plan is different and it gives you a survey for your students to take to give feedback.

global collaboration in education

In my opinion I think that global collaboration in education is a good idea because, this is a good way for teachers to communicate to each other and give each other ideas like lesson plans or different ways to teach. It is basically a way for teachers to learn like students. You can also learn different things from all around the world, from different backgrounds and different people.

I choose this image because it gives a good example on how teachers can connect to each other over global Collaboration.

Teaching with ed tech

I choose the article Ed Tech for the K-12 classroom I choose this article because without even reading it I already thought it was going to be interesting because since I would like to be a 3rd grade teacher I would like to know how to teach and how these kids are gonna learn with Ed Tech. After reading the article I learned that Ed tech is easy to learn from and it is easier to communicate with, and you can learn along with your students. The resource I choose gives a good breakdown on how ed tech can teach and show kids new things, and also it breaks down why it is a good resource to use when you are a teacher.
