REFLECTION #3

For this weeks reflection we learned so many great and fun things for the classroom, things I never knew existed. Using Teacher Tube in the classroom will help me communicate with me students through a different media, or primary source. It will allow my students to see and discover things in a knew perspective. Along with Teacher Tube there is You Tube, which does similar things, but isn't as educational as Teacher Tube. I will communicate with my students different educational objectives through the world around them, and animations.

These different materials through the media are so helpful in teaching students and allowing parents to work with their students, cause it's all found online. It's also so great that if students are absent or not understanding the material that was presented in class, they can go home or on their own time look up these different materials used by the teacher from these online sources. These tools given to teachers and students are so great for delivering instruction to students in a different and fun way for the students to learn.

Tools such as Zamzar, Teacher Tube, You Tube, National Geographic are all full of discovery for the students, other colleagues, parents, and teachers. Along with these sources of technology there are of course pros and cons. Some pros of course have already kind of been mentioned, but they are just great to help deliver the curriculum being taught in a new and different way. They help the students learn the environment, and gives variety. Some cons of these tools be the understanding of using these tools, using online sources, and basically being introduced to a new way of learning.

I can definitely see myself using these different tools to teach and insturct my students, it will be a new fun adventure for them and also myself. They are also very useful and helpful with refections or review. They are easily accessable and easy to use for students and teachers to use as a source for reflections, and to go back and look at for reviews.
