Blog Post # 14

In this blog post, I will discuss Jose Picardo's video Top Ten tips for using technology in the classroom. The top ten tips were: streaming video, music, teleconferencing, interacting exercises, interacting whiteboard, podcasts, blogs and wikis, social networks, internet tools, and gadgets. Mr. Picardo gives good advice in how to successfully use these ten things in the classroom.

I will use if not all of the ten technology in my classroom, I know must of them. I think streaming video and teleconferencing or Skype is really great to use in the classroom to help students to know and learn about other students that live in other parts of the world. Interacting whiteboard and exercises are good to help the students get better practice in those subjects that they are having trouble in, they not only help them to learn better but also the students have fun doing those exercises. Podcasts, blogs and wikis are good to help the students hear what they are learning. Gadgets are good as well to help students learn because there are so many different and great technology out now to make learning more hands on and fun. In my classroom, I will definitely use a lot of technology keep my students engaged in learning.
