Topic: Technology for Professional Development
Learning to use technology for
professional development is something that is very important for a teacher. We
learn how to use technology to benefit ourselves as teachers. Through
technology we can collaborate with other teachers and learn from others who are
incorporating technology in their classrooms. In class, we used different
methods to collaborate and learn from other teachers.
One
tool that can be used is Google Reader. This tool allows a user to search for
different blogs and websites. This tool is useful because it allows a user to
search a broad range of topics and find sources that they otherwise would not
have found.
Twitter
is another tool that can be used. Twitter is a very popular social networking
site that allows people to share their thoughts and ideas with each other. This
tool can be interesting to see how people’s views vary about education. Another
tool that can be used for collaboration between teachers is “Diigo”. This is a
website bookmarking tool. This site allows a user to follow other users, search
for useful websites, save those websites, and share them.
All
of these tools are very useful for collaboration between teachers and other
professionals. Out of these three tools, the one that I found the most useful
was “Diigo”. I enjoyed using this tool the most because it had multiple uses;
bookmarking websites and collaboration between users. Becoming familiar with
tools like these can help us prepare to be better teachers so that we can teach
our future students to the best of our ability.
