ED 2255 (November 28, 2011)

This week's class focused on web2.0 presentations, so seven students went over their presentations: Mixbook, Facebook, Twitter, Digital Photo Story, Engrade, 30 boxes, and wordle. There are lots of technology to help a teacher as an educational tools. However, the web2.0 still has controversial issues to use it. Fox example, students can assess personally a teacher's Facebook as we talked about in the class. How a teacher handles this? If a teacher opens an account for the purpose of her class, it would be fine. In other words, students can assess nothing but the class materials. 
I think that "Digital Photo Story" is helpful for kindergarden kids as projecting pictures every kids to see them in class. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular of view. Both a teacher and students use the frames which are set up on the website. When students create their slide show to tell their story, they can improve their writing skills, show creativity, and have a voice. Likewise, other web 2.0 has lots of benefits when to bring in the classroom.
