We talked at length in class about how to integrate technology into the classroom. We have also been exposed to new forms of technology that will allow us to connect with our students inside and outside of the classroom. I found a blog post where a social studies teacher had her class use Adobe Voice to complete their presentations. Those presentations were then uploaded onto her Edublogs site, as seen HERE, using Google Classroom App.
I like this idea because it allows parents, classmates, teachers, and friends that are outside of the classroom to see these presentations. Usually presentations are given within the classroom during class time to the kids in that particular class and the supervising teachers. The connection that this type of technology can bring with those outside the classroom could create a wider audience making the class community bigger. Parents can feel like they understand what their kids are doing in school, while other teachers can be a larger part of their students lives by seeing what their students are doing in different classes.
