My Technology Teacher wanted me to find ten Web 2.0 tools and sort of critic them, and explain how maybe I could use these tools in my classroom someday so this is what I came up with.
A cool presentation tool to use is Prezentit
Being able to present well is a key skill to grasp since you will likely be presenting a lot of different things in your lifetime. Prezentit makes presentations easy peasy! Prezentit is not that far from your typical PowerPoint only it is, you can set your presentation to public or private view and even share it without ever connecting to the internet! In the classroom this is an excellent way to demonstrate the power of teamwork through presentation! With Prezentit you are able to work with a team member and you both have access to the presentation! This also eliminates the question of "did one team member do more work than the other?" Because with Prezentit you can monitor the work uploads! Prezentit really does change the way a person can shine through a presentation!
Step aside you-tube the future is coming through, presenting PrimaryschoolITV. By using PrimaryschoolITV this introduces primary students into the world of video technology while using a filtered safe search! Young students are becoming more technologically advanced with the times, as they should be; however, not everything online is safe for little eyes, but with PrimaryschoolITV you may use video to show students the world while ensuring the graphics and content are age appropriate. This may be integrated when teaching a lesson over world cultures and will ensure that you can provide grade A footage of other worlds and know the content is clean. If you are an Early Childhood or Elementary education teacher this sit is for you!
Kids today are surrounded by animation and in your face games, apps, and television shows, but do not let them loose sight of the beauty of the written word. Bring this beauty to them with Tikatok. By using Tikatok students can create a story and have pictures uploaded of items close to their heart, and even have their stories turned into hard copies that you can buy! With Tikatok students can really see their imaginations come to life! As a teacher you could feature their stories on your weekly newsletter, with the cool e-mail aspect! This would be a great way to incorporate writing into any lesson plan or even literacy week!
Who knew that art could go so far beyond paper and paint! With Sketchfu students may create drawings and use those drawings to make their own movie playback! This tool would be awesome to use as an instructional assignment sine it really breaks down how a drawing is created! Bring art into any subject and into the future of technology by using sketchfu!
Claymation never gets old and students LOVE to create their very own claymation! This would be great to use as a assignment to show emotions, you could have each student be given an emotion and by using Clay Animator have them create their very own claymation portraying that emotion! Have created their own work of art in a fun way students will jump at the chance to show the class what they have learned!
