Of all the Web 2.0 tools we’ve used this semester I
believe there are two that I will definitely be using as a teacher, Pinterest
and Twitter. I will mostly like be teaching between 4th and 8th
grade and Pinterest has different ideas posted daily on how to complete different
projects, different links for resources on how to reach out to students,
organize the school day, organize meetings with parents, etc, so I’ll be able
to remain creative in creating my lessons and be proactive in communication
with parents. As far as Twitter I believe that this will allow me to keep the
parents informed on a daily or weekly basis depending on the changes that are
made in my class. Twitter is a tool that can be accessed on the phone or
through the computer, whatever is available to that person, then there shouldn’t
be a reason for there to be a lapse in communication. This tool also offers the
option of notifications on your phone or through email when something new has
been posted; the availability of this tool is why I selected it as my resource
for parents. Both of the tools I selected can be used for different reasons,
which is also why I selected them. If I’m creating a major project I can post
samples that are found in Pinterest for parents to get ideas on how to assist
students. I we have a busy week coming up in class with several things going on
at once I can tweet about and respond to parent questions for all parents to
see and follow up on with any additional questions.
