9. I USE YOUTUBE.COM/TEACHERS TO UPLOAD MY
VIDEOS TO HELP STUDENTS WHO ARE SLOW OR
WHO DID NOT ATTEND CLASSES, I NORMALLY
USE VIDEOS AS GUIDANCE TO EDUCATE, ENGAGE
AND INSPIRE MY STUDENTS. THEY HAVE ACCESS
TO A BROAD SET OF EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS THAT
RANGE FROM ACADEMIC LECTURES TO
INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES AND EVERYTHING IN
BETWEEN. WHETHER THEY ARE DOING
RESEARCH FOR A PROJECT, NEED HELP WITH
HOMEWORK, OR JUST WANT TO LEARN
SOMETHING NEW, MY YOUTUBE-EDU PAGE
FEATURES SOME OF OUR MOST POPULAR
EXAMPLES AND EVERYDAY LIFE SITUATIONS. THE
ROLE OF MY YOUTUBE PAGE OR CHANNEL IS TO
SUPPORT STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE
AS EASY AS POSSIBLE, THEY DO NOT COST
ANYTHING (THEY ARE ALL FREE). FOR MANY
ACADEMICS I NOW USE YOUTUBE FOR
RECORDING AND DISSEMINATING COURSE
LECTURES. THESE VIDEOS MAY BE VALUABLE
WHEN I AM AWAY OR FOR STUDENTS WHO MISS
THE CLASSES

10. It makes it easy for people
or professionals to learn
about you and find your
content…it is also a
platform for building and
hosting a simple page that
points users to your content
and social media profiles
from around the web.
Unlike other free website
building which offer you the
ability to create several
pages as well as blog posts.
It specifically gives you just
one, single page to display
all your links and a
summary of yourself.

always available

This is where I
keep searching
for more
knowledge and
there after refer
my Students to.
It is quite a great
plan for all
teacher if you
need a textbook
and you do not
have it in your
class Google
Books Library
can be very
useful.

14. I use a drop box
keep my
Learners files
and Class list
safe, I keep my
videos, photos,
files and
Documents and
its highly
impossible for I
to lose them

15. MICROSOFT EDUCATOR
NETWORK (PARTNERS IN
LEARNING) IS AN EDUCATOR
NETWORK TO ACCESS FREE
TOOLS, EXPLORE TECHNOLOGY
TUTORIALS AND ENGAGE IN
PEER CONVERSATIONS, IT IS
MOSTLY USED BY TEACHERS TO
ENGAGE STUDENTS IN THE
CLASSROOM ACCESS FREE
SOFTWARE AND TOOLS. IT IS
THEREFORE USEFUL IN
CONTRIBUTING TO THE GLOBAL
CONVERSATION ON EDUCATION
AND TECHNOLOGY.

16. TWITTER OFFERS A QUESTIONS APP,
WHICH IS CLEARLY USEFUL FOR MY
CLASSROOM/ONLINE-CLASS AND IT
ALLOWS ME AS A TEACHER TO ASK
QUESTIONS ABOUT PHOTOS, TOPICS, AND
MORE WITH RESPONSES FROM
STUDENTS.I OFTEN USE TWITTER AS A
GREAT PLACE TO LINK TO AND ARCHIVE
CLASSROOM SLIDES, DISCUSSIONS, AND
MORE THAT STUDENTS CAN REFERENCE IF
THEY MISSED CLASS OR NEED TO REVIEW.
OTHER TEACHERS CAN POST
EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS AND LINKS FOR
CONCEPTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING
DISCUSSED IN CLASS, AS I USE MY
TWITTER WITH HELP OF OTHER TEACHERS
TOO. FOR COURSES THAT ARE SIMPLY TOO
LARGE TO ALLOW EVERY STUDENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION, I THERE
AFTER ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO
COMMUNICATE THROUGH A TWITTER
DISCUSSION WALL THAT OPERATES
DURING AND AFTER CLASS TIME.

17. I USED THE VOKI VOICE TO
MAKE SOME DIFFERENT
VOICES, TO MAKE THE LESSON
INTERESTING...AS LEARNERS
LIKE DIFFERENT VOICES FOR
DIFFERENT TOPICS.
You can Add and manage your
students through Voki, for
Example Assign students to
one or more classes and give
them each a unique login.
There's no need for students to
register…it is easy to review
your students' Voki
assignments in one place.
Review and approve all student
Vokis by lesson, or by student.

18. I USE THE QUIZLET FOR
GAMING AND YES FINALLY, IT IS
A SITE THAT INCORPORATES A
VARIETY OF STUDY TOOLS,
LEARNING STYLES AND GAMES
TO MAKE REVIEW FUN. MY
STUDENTS LOVE COMPETING
AGAINST ONE ANOTHER AND
ME FOR CHAMPION STATUS
SINCE USING QUIZLET, MY
STUDENTS HAVE BEGUN TO
STUDY MORE. ON THE
WEEKENDS I CHECK THE
QUIZLET SITE AND I'M AMAZED
THE STUDENTS ARE PLAYING
THE GAMES AND TAKING THE
TEST ON THE STUDY SETS. IT
REALLY WORKS FOR THEM AND
ME TOO.

19. I ENGAGE MY STUDENTS IN WRITING IN A WAY
THAT WILL GIVE THEM PURPOSEFUL AND
MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE DAILY. I
HAVE MY HAVE STUDENTS SET UP A BLOG/GLOG
EACH STUDENT CAN CREATE OR USE A PRE-
MADE TEMPLATE IN WHICH THEY CAN BLOG
DAILY OR WEEKLY ABOUT THEIR LEARNING.
THESE CAN BE SUBMITTED TO ME AS A WAY OF
SELF-REFLECTION AND COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN RELUCTANT STUDENTS AND MYSELF
AS A TEACHER.I BEGAN USING GLOGSTER IN MY
MATH CLASSES FOR POSTER PROJECTS.
GLOGSTER IS AN INTERACTIVE POSTER
PROGRAM, I AS A STUDENT EDUCATOR AND
MATH TEACHERS INCLUDED, HAVE NOW BEEN
GIVEN A MUCH LARGER RESPONSIBILITY. WE
ARE CHARGED WITH EXPOSING OUR STUDENTS
TO THE NEW WEB 2.0 TOOLS THAT THEY WILL BE
ASKED TO USE WHEN THEY REACH THE WORK
WORLD EVEN IN CLASS USES. LEARNERS CAN
NOW EASILY LEARN AND ADAPT TO THE QUICKLY
CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES ALL AROUND THEM.

20. I HAVE USED THE QR
CODES AS THEY HAVE
BEEN PROVEN TO BE A
GREAT TIME-SAVER FOR
SHARING LINKS AND
DISTRIBUTING
INFORMATION EN MASS.
IN MY LEARNING PAGES I
HAVE USED SOME QR
CODES TO AVOID
WASTING
TIME…LEARNERS ARE
THEREFORE ABLE TO
SCAN THE CODE AND
ALL THEIR WORK WILL
APPEAR AS A LINK TO
THEIR SCREENS

21. PREZI IS PERFECT FOR INTERACTIVE
CLASSROOM SESSIONS OR GROUP PROJECTS.
COLLABORATE IN REAL TIME WITH UP TO 10
OTHERS, WHETHER IN THE CLASSROOM, AT
HOME, OR ONLINE TO BRAINSTORM AND
CREATE YOUR PRESENTATION ON ONE
SHARED VIRTUAL WHITEBOARD. PREZI HELPS
TO HAVE THE TASK OF CONVEYING COMPLEX
IDEAS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME,
STRUGGLING TO FIT ENOUGH DETAIL INTO
EACH SLIDE. OFTEN, I FORCED TO FRAGMENT
DATA, CHARTS, AND DIAGRAMS BY BREAKING
THEM UP OVER SEVERAL SLIDES, WHERE THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM IS LOST. IT
ALSO ALLOWS ME AS A STUDENT EDUCATOR
TO SHOW THE CONNECTIVITY AND BREADTH
OF A TOPIC WITHOUT LOSING ACCESS TO THE
FINE DETAILS, LINKS BETWEEN LESSONS
BECOME OBVIOUS AND CONTENT COMES
ALIVE.

22. GOOGLE+ IS DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS AS
TO BE ORGANIZED AS A LEARNER OR AS A
TEACHER.
CIRCLES- STUDENTS HAVE TO ORGANIZE
EVERYONE ACCORDING TO THEIR REAL
LIFE CONNECTIONS...FOR EXAMPLE, THERE
WILL BE A POINT WHEREBY THEY WILL
WORK IN GROUPS THEREAFTER ASSIGN
EACH AND EVERY LEARNER IN CORRECT
CIRCLES OR GROUPS.
HANGOUTS- STUDENTS WILL USE THESE
HANGOUTS TO SHARE THEIR GOOGLE
DOCS ON MY SCREEN AS WELL.
STREAM- THIS WILL LET THEM SHARE
CONVERSATIONS AS DISCUSSIONS AND
INFORMATION WITH THEIR CIRCLES

23. TWITTER OFFERS A QUESTIONS
APP, WHICH IS CLEARLY USEFUL
FOR MY CLASSROOM/ONLINE-
CLASS AND IT ALLOWS ME AS A
TEACHER TO ASK QUESTIONS
ABOUT PHOTOS, TOPICS, AND
MORE WITH RESPONSES FROM
STUDENTS.I OFTEN USE TWITTER
AS A GREAT PLACE TO LINK TO
AND ARCHIVE CLASSROOM
SLIDES, DISCUSSIONS, AND MORE
THAT STUDENTS CAN REFERENCE
IF THEY MISSED CLASS OR NEED
TO REVIEW. OTHER TEACHERS
CAN POST EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS
AND LINKS FOR CONCEPTS THAT
ARE CURRENTLY BEING
DISCUSSED IN CLASS, AS I USE MY
TWITTER WITH HELP OF OTHER
TEACHERS TOO.
