Week 4

In week 4 we learned about combining pictures in our teaching expirience. Something I encourage and personally enjoy doing. I think it is a good learning experience and makes the process more fun and easy.

I learned about a great tool (Snaggit) that will definitely help me in the future, and examples of pictures and the use of pictures, such as the amazing website Photofunia.

We can use such activities with creating pictures with our students. We can have more creative lessons, ask them to take pictures of objects and translate them into English, have them take pictures of English words and make a sentence out of them and so on. The tools are there, we just need to use them.

 

Week 3

In week 3 I have learned more than I thought. I discovered new websites and new tools that will help be a better teacher.

I recenetly read one of the blogs that I am following. And I was surprised to find that the US government completely supports the schools in the technological side.

The blog mentioned, rightfuly so, that technology is no longer a luxury, but a true necessity. It is agreed that giving students the best chance at success can be done mainly by providing more access to technology.

However, obviously that schools are facing limited resources and cannot supply what is really needed in order to achieve such an achievement. Hopefully this kind of understanding will be in Israel as well.

My Secong Post

Hi everyone!

This is my second post!

I have chosen three interesting blogs:

"Free Technology for Teachers"

"MiddleWeb"

"Teach & Learning"

The blog "Free Technology for Teachers" provides teachers with free websites and resources that they can use in their classrooms, such as videos, guides, games, etc. This can make the learning expirience for the student much more fun and less boring.

The blog "MiddleWeb" is about interesting ways and helpful tools for teaching elementary school.

The blog "Teach & Learning" tells about new technological tools that would be helpful and more joyful in class, such as 3D printing, which was very new to me.

I believe I will be able to use in class everything that is online, the videos, the guides, etc. Regarding the 3D printer, that will be depending on the school resource obviously. But I would love to have the opportunity.
