3 Things that I learned:
When using the internet in a classroom the teacher needs to be sure to monitor the web and action that goes on, but they can also use the web as a teaching tool. An art teacher per say could use the virtual museum to show their class different pieces of art, and museums from around the world. This is called an electronic field trip. It is up to the teacher on how to use this tool but it is a good use without having to leave the classroom. For individual learners they have web based tutorials. With these the teacher is able to teach the class via the web, but also when the teacher instruction stops; the web will pick up the instruction. This way the students are able to learn at their own pace. For teacher learning there are websites, blogs, wiki’s and other helpful material via the web. This way teachers are able to use resources, and insights from other teachers without leaving the classroom. This will help teachers make their instruction differentiated.
2 Connections I can make:
As an English teacher I would use the use of blogs in my classroom. This way my students can use the web from where ever they are, upload their documents, and be done. This is a good way to go paperless, and to ensure that the students will not ‘lose’ their class work. I would also want to use the googledoc system. This way my students can come together in their own environment and make changes to group presentations, they can all be working on it all at once, and I will be able to access it right away.
1 Question:
Do schools offer an internet class for teachers to take to get used to, and learn new things about the internet so that they can integrate it into their classroom?
