DIGITAL BLOG POST #F Chapter 8

My first concept for chapter eight is Electronic communication between teachers and students. Electronic communication between teachers and students is teachers and students communicating via email, text message, classroom websites, blogs, etc. I like the idea of teachers being more involved with a student’s life than just in the classroom. This way students can always ask his or her teacher for assistance with homework assignment, tip for studying, or assignments for extra credit.

 

My second concept is Wikis as a collaborative learning strategy. Wikis as a collaborative learning strategy is a website or blog space that is collaboratively edited and maintained by a group. I feel wikis are a great idea for one the wiki can help the students stay in track with a subject by having students submits fact and or essays on assignment for other students to see and study.   

 

 

My third and last concept is Social networking for education. Social networking for education is a way of using a Facebook like website for an academic purpose. I think the idea of creating a social network website to helps students keep themselves updated with the subject is great. Each student could create a profile and the teachers would have them post assignments given to them on their pages. Another way the social network would help students is by student posting questions on the teacher’s page for him or her page to answer the student’s question.

 

 

In conclusion, Electronic communication between teachers and students is a great way for teachers to be more academically involved with the students outside of school by utilizing today’s technology. Wikis as a collaborative learning strategy is a good way to keep students on the same academic level by submitting facts related to their curriculum in order to improve their knowledge on their subject. And Social networking for education great way to have student to improve their level of education on the subject by completing assignment the teacher may give the students on their page or by teachers to answer any question students leave on their page.
