Blog Post #5



            The web 2.0 tool I think is the most useful would probably be Skype because I think it is important for students to feel as if they have help even if they do not have parents who are able to help them. So, with skype I would be able to contact the students in their home environment and help them with any homework issues they might be having or answer any questions they may have. I also think that the voicethread would be useful for my students to be able to hear my lecture and listen to them as many times as they need to. Also with voicethread students will be able to communicate with each other so I think this tool would be great for group projects or to communicate with each other before a test.
            I tool I think I would use the most out of all of them would probably be Voice Thread because I think it is the only tool that can be used for more than one thing. It can be used for students to listen to my lectures, it can be used for students to communicate with each other if they have a group project, also students can use this tool to ask me any questions they have but did not want to ask in the classroom. Also, I would be able to verbally critique papers they submit and tell them exactly how to fix them. This tool also says that it helps with the four C’s which is: Communication, Critical thinking, Collaboration, and creativity.
            The technology that I would like to see implemented in the future is something called Biometrics which is a machine that can identify the entire biological make up of a child. I think this would be super important for the future of technology because this will help students figure out if they have a learning disability or not. This will intern save children from struggling it will be easier to identify the problem, I think this is important because there are so many students that are not excelling in school because they have a learning disability and they don’t know it. So I think this tool will be useful in helping students identify this trait earlier on so they can deal with it.
