I chose this resource because I was interested by the
article’s title. There are lots of
really great online tools that are available but are not utilized, and I
thought the list given in the article was a good summary of helpful
websites. The great thing about
online tools is that majority of them are free of charge, which is amazing for
our under-funded school system.
Technology is such a big aspect of our lives and the various devices and
applications are becoming more involved with our schools and youth, so it is
important that students and teachers learn about. these online tools are taken advantage of. These online tools are great resources
for teachers; the “Create-A-Graph” tool gives students a flexible and easy way
to learn graphing concepts.
Another website, “Glogster,” helps students create visual presentations
with media links, sounds, and videos.
These are just a couple of examples of tools that are available online
for kids to use in the classroom and at home.
I think that these tools make learning more fun for
students, and in turn, students will be able to better understand the concepts
they are learning when they learn by doing. And because technology involvement in our lives in rapidly increasing,
it’s beneficial to understand how to use them and what we can do with these online
tools.
