1. After getting some first-hand experience on a variety of technology tools available out there for our kiddos, I can say there are some favorites that I have. They include blogging, wikis, apps, video resources, and digital photo story. One tool I would really like to incorporate immediately is the use of apps in my classroom. Being in a bilingual classroom, the use of apps will definitely help build the English vocabulary in a fun way.
2. I guess I can say I was a little ignorant to not give my students much opportunity to utilize technology in the classroom, thinking they don't know how to use it. But in reality, these kids know about a variety of technology gadgets available and some even have them at home. So why not build on that knowledge and integrate the academics at the same time?
3. The outcome that I noticed was that as soon as I was experimenting with any of the tools, I could quickly think of a way to use it with my fourth graders.
Glad you finished and thought of so many ways to use the tools in your classroom!
