This week in class we discussed several online resources which could be beneficial technologies to use in classroom instruction. These were Diigo.com, Google Sites, and Wikis. There are many ways that these can be utilized in the classroom, and the goal of this blog is to mention a few ideas which may be applicable.
One way that Wikis can be put to use as a teacher could be in the development of rubrics. As the instructor, I could post a skeleton rubric for a particular assignment, and then invite the class to edit that rubric and collaborate in its development. This could have been another innovative way to develop our rubric for the video projects as well.
Another idea could be to encourage students, or simply as the instructor, to create a Google Reader RSS site which would bring current events about the particular school subject to it. That way students would be encouraged to remain on top of the events surrounding the subject of the class, and would provide an easy way for me as an instructor to find current events which I could share with the class in order to promote an increased interest in said subject.
As related to the coaching field, Wikis could be very beneficial as well. Sites could be created for individual teams which could include collaborative records of stats, rosters, strategy, opponent film, and lists of student health records. This would bring all of those aspects of coaching into one common area, where all of the staff could collaborate, contribute, and discuss with increasing ease.
All of these ideas in mind, the resources we discussed in class today would be very beneficial in my possible future as an educator.
