25/2/2004- blogs

Hi everyone!

I would like to share a few things I've read in the education blogs-

1) http://www.edutechintegration.com/

I read the most recent post called 

Technology Used Increasingly In Classrooms

one of  the interesting things I learned is the option to give tests by internet assessments. This is especially useful for multiple choice questions- this way the students get a grade right away- (and we have less to check!!)

I'd like to learn how to do this although it can't be used in my classrooms yet since the students (or teachers) don't have private laptops.

I learned something really interesting here!!! When you are in any web page and are looking for a specific word- instead of spending lots of time looking for this word (or expression) you can press CTRL F, a box will pop up and you write in what you are looking for. Then those words will be highlighted and on the scroller on the side it will show you where the woords appear on the web page. Try it out!

Here I read about 

5 Top Tech Tools (And How To Use Them In Education)

The one that caught my eye was Edmodo, It’s like your very own Facebook for your classroom. Complete with the tools that let you communicate with your students, parents, and others. Share homework, pictures, and start learning together.- Again, I can't use this in my calss but it was interesting to read about.
