This activity introduced me to some new useful tools than can be used inside and outside of the classroom. Tools like Wikis, Social Bookmarking, and Voice Thread can be used to improve classroom and web efficiency. A wiki is like a webpage that can be edited by any person. This tool is good for planning trips, making lists, or just getting input from other people on something from other people. Social bookmarking allows for your bookmarks to be shared with other people. This can be helpful to see how other teachers find research on topics that are similar to yours. The last thing I learned about is voice thread. Voice thread allows for online discussions on a topic posted by a teacher.
I think that all of these tools can be used in an education setting. Wikis can be used by students in a study group or a group of students working on a group project. Social bookmarking can be used by students or teachers. Teachers can use this to gather websites for lesson plans and also share what they find to other teachers. Students can use this to find helpful websites to study for tests or complete assignments. Voice thread is a great website to use as an educator. Teachers can post a discussion topic online and students can go in and respond to that topic. I think that any teacher can use this. Overall all of these tools are very useful and I plan on using them all in the future.
