BLOG 6.........

Last three weeks are left. I am ready to go for placement and I will use some technology in my classroom. We had very informative two sessions about their own work. They have only 4 to 5 years of experience but they delivered knowledge very nicely and differently. Both have discussed their own work in their subject in how integrated the technology in their work. Mainly both have discussed about blog and twitter but both have used in different way. As an educator, we got very well information about teaching method and learning procedure.

In the second presentation, Mr. Tylor gave information about google drive folder, google forms as well as remote application. He talked about the video project and how to upload in the tiny.cc. I heard first time about this application in class and now I have started the bit playing with URL tiny.cc It has lot of different usage like edit link, uploaded video and monitor as teacher etc. He talked about dropittome application, in which we can securely receive files from anyone into your cloud storage and it works with one drive, google drive and dropbox. I liked his book project that how students can leave memory in the school and also that can be useful in future learning when they write some research paper or doing something else. He also talked about how they are working on Instagram for Julian and Romeo story. They made twitter account for school activity and permitted by the school principal.

First presentation presented by Mrs.Kirsten Thomson about their blog and twitter. That presentation was on zoom and that was nice. She made blog on history project and students can do some comment on that. She uploaded the project topic and rubric also. When students have doubt then students can open the blog or send message via blog. Also, students can share their idea on blog and discuss with peers. She mentioned that all students have Gmail account so I think students doesn’t have any problem. She talked about reminder application for reminding the exam, homework or some important message. Also, she talked about digital citizenship. I learnt from her that how can we behave in school so principal or superintendent have no problem with our work. She talked about twitter, how it is useful to inform everyday activity to the parents.


Finally, I would say in this week again I got lot new information and also I learned that if we do some effort and connect our knowledge with technology then we could get best result. And that could be useful for teacher, students, and parents.

  1. After reading about the two guest speakers in all of your blogs, I feel unfortunate that I had to missed them. I really like the idea of allowing students to interact with each other online, in a teacher moderated place. It allows students to provide feedback to their peers and the teacher, as well as allows them the opportunity to comment in their own time.
