This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Whiteboard.fi in the RQ2 technologies list. We have been talking about the PICRAT model in class. I believe that Whitboard.fi amplifies and is interactive because it gives the teacher the ability to graph and use other tools that would be more time consuming and difficult to use on a real whiteboard. It is interactive because students can interact with each other with their whiteboards. Whiteboard.fi is an online tool that allows teachers to create a virtual classroom where they can share a digital whiteboard with their students. Teachers can create lessons so that students can collaborate in real-time in the classroom or from home.
This is an example of some of the things you can do on Whiteboard.fi. On the left you can see the teacher whiteboard and on the right there are student whiteboards.
The ease of use for this website is great! It was very easy to create a whiteboard class on the teacher side and easy for students to type in the classroom code or scan the QR code.
I think this website isn't super versatile because it really only accomplishes one thing, but I still think it is a great interactive tool for students.
I personally don't think I would use this website in my classroom just because I would rather use real whiteboards than the computer version. I also worry depending on the age of the students that they may get distracted or put inappropriate content on their whiteboards. I think it is good tool if you need to virtually share information, but not as much in the classroom.
Hi Emily, Great post! Whiteboard.fi seems like it would be a good tool. I think it would be a good tool for online based assignments and classes. I agree with you that students could get distracted or put inappropriate content on it.
Hi Emily! I like this technology for its collaborative nature and creativeness, as you described in the post. I would definitely use this in my future classroom! Great post.
Hi Emily, This is a great post about Whiteboard. I really appreciate you including the video and images of it as well. I also appreciate your thought of the versatility being limited, its great insight for other users.
Hello Emily, I have to say I love how you made the connection to PICRAT within the first paragraph and gave a good reason to how it connects to the framework, the information on the tool itself was very knowledgeable and fun to learn about, seems like a tool that would be very effective in the classroom.
This blog entry is about a tool of my own interest from the list of Learning- Information Processing Technologies provided by Dr. Wang. I chose the website emaze.com . In class we discussed the L of TLC which is Learning. We also talked about PICRAT, and I believe this website would be considered Amplifies and Creative. I think this because it is allowing students to be creative when making their presentations. I think it amplifies because it is improving their information processing. This website is a presentation builder similar to google slides but offers different templates and additives. It includes a variety of templates, 3-D effects, video backgrounds, audio and interactive elements. It is a free website and similarly to google slides multiple people can be working on a presentation at once. I believe this website is very easy to use once you get your account set up. For some reason when I was making my account the email code, they are supposed to send to confirm my email would
This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Nearpod in the software mentioned by Secondary School teachers list. We have been talking about the SAMR model in class. I believe that Nearpod is an Redefinition because the teacher can use the website for so many things to do with curriculum and it also gives students the ability to work at their own pace. Nearpod is a online learning platform that allows teachers to create engaging lessons and deliver them to students in real-time or online. Teachers have the ability to upload a variety of resources, including videos, images, and interactive quizzes, and use them to create dynamic and interactive lessons that keep students engaged and motivated. Students can participate in Nearpod lessons using a variety of devices and can provide instant feedback to the teacher through interactive features like polls and open-ended questions. Nearpod also allows teachers to track the progress of the s
This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically Flipgrid in the Microsoft Technologies list. Flipgrid is a tool that allows teachers and students to create and share short video responses to prompts or questions. It is a virtual video discussion board where everyone in the class can participate and share their thoughts and ideas! Create group and share link with students Students can record and respond to each other. I found this website to be very easy to use. You simply hit record and post a video response to a topic or question. The only problem could be students running into issues with getting their technology to record. I think this tool has a lot of versatility. It can be used for introducing students to each other, as a homework assignment, assessment, etc. It is nice that students have the ability to respond to their classmates. I think the likelihood of using this tool in my classroom is fairly low. I think it is a great reso
