Web Tools

 

Web tools are a really useful and nowadays crucial aspect in education.  They make things quicker, easier, and more accurate.  While I was using the few that I had done, I thought about all the endless possibilities that these can be used in the classroom.  These web tools can make learning a bit more interesting and interactive.  These tools like blogs, photo sharing, video sharing allow the student to be creative and work on communication.  Some types of these web tools give teachers easy access to be able to create tests, worksheets or rubrics and makes a frequent thing a lot faster to do.  With that, the teacher can have more time actually teaching the students.   The web tools definitely goes with the second standard of the NETS , which states that teachers should develop and design digital age learning experiences and assessments. All the different web tools out there allow a teacher to incorporate technology to teach students.  In these days, time is everything and a teacher needs something to make some tasks a bit quicker in order to use that left over time toward helping children.  I never would have thought that making tests and worksheets would have been that easy.
