Week 2 Reflection

This week in class we covered everything google. My favorite tool we covered was the google document. This is an awesome tool to use as a college student. If fact my group for psychology decided to use it for our group project. Not only is it a site that is helpful as a student but it would be useful as a teacher. I want to use it as a Journal for my class. They could write weekly and I could go in and respond to their entries. I think that would make writing in their journal more enjoyable. We also went over google calendar, I think it is a great organizing tool. I would like to incorporate that into a google site for my class. that way students wouldn't have an excuse for not knowing what is due or announcements. I also think the google sites would be a great tool to use in my classroom. I think parents would enjoy having a way to know what is going on in their child's life at school. Today was a lot of fun.

The weekly video "pay attention" sort of hit home to me. First I can't believe only 50 percent of students graduate high school. I like the ideals it has about using cell phones in our classrooms. I've heard you say it but I could never figure out how that would work. I love the idea of having our students take out their cell phone and get the answers to a survey from someone outside of the classroom. I definitely want to do this is my classroom. I can just imagine a class having so much fun with that. This clip showed me  how important it is to be a good teacher and keep your students interested.
