This week I had a lot of fun exploring new website tools. A lot of them I had used before, but some of them were new to me. I have never used Poll Everywhere before and I am so excited to use it!! It did make me question our districts rule of no cell phones allowed in school. If we allowed them to be used we could gain easy feedback by using the Poll Everywhere tool. Of course then you have lots of other issues to deal with. I am also excited about TokBox! I don't necessarily know how I would use it in my sixth grade classroom, but it is a cool tool!!
I am sad that next week is our last week of class! I do feel like I am learning about of new tools that I haven't used. I have as enjoyed our classroom discussions. It was very interesting to hear every ones take on homeschooling. We have lost a few students to online school and I am still not sure if I am a bit supporter of it for younger kids. On the other hand, being a teacher, I see the good and bad things that happen in the public school setting and it scares me to one day ( 4 years from now) send my son to public school. I am excited for this week's discussion.
