Technology can be so interactive and educational as long as it is managed. Today's lesson brought me so many different platforms that I can use in my own classroom and I am very excited to implement them.
I use YouTube for everything. I study with it, look up all kinds of tutorials on it, and I just use it for entertaining, funny videos. So why couldn't I use it in the classroom?! I was very excited to hear that it is a great tool to use in the classroom and that students can totally be graded on standards through posting videos.
Google is such a HUGE part of my life; I literally use Google search a hundred times a day. I never knew the tips for searching Google. The "site:" hack would have made my life so much easier if I had known about it in the past! I will be sure to use this in my classroom to show kids how useful it can be when researching for papers. I want my students to know how and where to find non-bias, credible sources for their information, especially after hearing 65% of people get their information off social media. That number is way higher than I thought.
Let's not forget the 4 Jobs of the Future. These skills are of the utmost importance even without the use of technology so I think it makes sense that, in this day and age, the technology applied to these skills has a greater necessity in the workforce than ever before.
