Introduction

This blog will help teachers to understand how technology can help to increase participation in the classroom. Many times students do not want to answer out loud in class or they are just shy. Many times the use to technology can help a student better understand a subject or it can help to bring a student of his or her shell. This blog will help to show you both.

In this blog we will show you how Voicethread can help students in the classroom. Many don’t even know what the tool is for and not knowing sparks fear for many people. We plan on helping teachers to understand this and other tools that may be of great help to them in the classroom.

This blog can also be used to show teachers how they can use a blog in the classroom. Many individuals donot know what a blog is or what it is used for. This is my first blog but it will definately not be my last. Blogs enable individuals to show progress in a certain subject. As the semester progresses I hope that the different discussions within this blog help teachers to better understand the concept of Technology Integration

  1. I had never thought about using technology as a way to get students to answer who might not be comfortable commenting outloud. Yet another advantage of using technology!
