Two technologies that I'm a fan of and feel would best benefit me in my future classroom are Skype and Planboard. I feel that both of these technologies can be utilized in every division, because of this I listed these general outcomes.
Skype- ITC outcomes
C2 ,C5, C6 and C7
F3
P3 And P6
Rationale
What I like about Skype is how easy and accessible it is. Using this within a classroom a teacher can Skype in an expert in any subject and have them do presentations to the students instead of the hassle of field trips. An example would be if teachers in Lethbridge or Calgary Skype the Tyrell Museum in Drumheller and have a presentation done on Dinosaurs. As well Skype adds the benefit that Teachers world wide can connect with other educators and sharing resources and ideas that we can than use to help benefit our students to the best of our abilities.
It links to the ITC and the order in a variety of ways mainly the 4th major point in the order where it will encourage students to learn;gain knowledge, understanding or skills through study,experience and interaction with others. The other component of Skype that I like is you can monitor your students interactions and create a safe environment through this. Skype is the ideal tool as well for group projects, because it allows the students the chance to collaborate without being in the same vicinity.
PlanBoard-ITC outcomes
C3, C4, C5, C6, C6
F3
P2, P3, P4, P6
Rationale
The thing I enjoy most about Planboard is how it really helps the teacher in one of the most time consumption tasks Lesson planning and time management. Planboard in essence make sure your lessons are organized and that your day runs smoothly with the help of this amazing tool. This would be more of a technology of use for the teacher instead of the students, but that's not to say it wouldn't benefit the students. Being an organized teacher means you can invest more time to helping the students be organized and engaged.
The ITC outcomes are listed above but I feel this fits with the order because if I teacher is organized they can teach this skill to the students which would than transfer to helping them strive for engagement and personal excellence in their learning journey.
I truly feel that both these technologies would greatly benefit any future classroom if utilized appropriately. At the end of the day the main objective of an teacher is to ensure we give our students all the tools necessary to be successful in their life paths either be it in school or the every day world and both of these technologies I feel would ensure that the students would become successful ethical citizens. Lastly both of these technologies are easy to find and use so you won't have a teacher get frustrated or annoyed by these modern technologies.
