Thing 13
I picked the lesson titled “Web 2.0 Tools to Amplify Elementary Students’ Creativity and Initiative” from the K12 Learning Conference to view at home. I am glad I picked this lesson because it was about using the tools of Web 2.0 with upper elementary students, something I have been struggling with throughout this course. I have been able to relate the tools to my personal use, as well as for use by me in my classroom, but was unsure of how I could get my students involved in the process. The video itself was slightly confusing; it jumped from topic to topic with no explanation, but I was able to read some of the websites she was talking about and then later explore those sites. I look forward to doing some more of my own exploration and using time in the computer lab at school to enhance my students’ learning experience through these student-friendly websites.
