Debrief Activity Questions:
- Having completed this review of a web 2.0 tool would you use this tool in your classroom?
- After completing my ScreenR about typewith.me, I definitely plan to use this tool in my classroom. It gives me proof that my students are collaborating together to complete a common goal. Not only am I able to see a final product, but I am also able to see how much each student contributed to the document. It gives me a reassuring feeling that in a group, not only one student did the whole project, but there was an equal amount of work done by each student which will help me in the end determine a participation grade for the group and group members.
- Prior to this activity, how did you typically select website or tools to use?
- Prior to this activity, I actually never have used online websites or tools. If I was to research tools or websites, I would actually go and Google a certain criteria that I am looking for. I never knew that there were websites that were dedicated to online websites and tools to use for student learning.
- Do you have any ideas, comments or feedback on improving the web 2.0 tool selection process?
- When selecting a web 2.0 tool, I would only suggest that as teachers we should check out the program first before introducing them to students. One problem I ran into with the typewith.me, was that it was not an updated version. After I did my ScreenR, I found that there is a better site that operates just like Typewith.me. It allows users to communicate on a faster interface, as well as holds a history for the teacher to view. So in the process, teachers should try out the tool first and make sure it works properly before bringing it into the classroom.
