Web 2.0 (class blog)

Ok for this blog, I am going to be talking about different Web 2.0 applications. One such application is Twitter. Twitter is a fun application that can be used in various ways. Twitter allows you to tell people what you are doing at any given moment. You can use Twitter in your class room as well. You can tell students when you wont be in class or for any other class announcement you might want to make. Another Web 2.0 that is popular is Facebook. I love Facebook! Facebook allows you to keep in-touch with all of your friends no matter where they are. Facebook also has fun little things you can do like games and things. These Web 2.o applications are just two of thousands that there are out there. 

YouTube It Up (class blog)

YouTube! Nuff Said! lol! No seriously, YouTube has become a big part of people's lives. YouTube can be used for just about anything. For instance, YouTube can be used for educational purposes or for merely entertainment reasons.  You can almost find anything your interested in on YouTube. You can even set up your own account with YouTube and place videos that you have created on there. It's amazing. I love going to YouTube during my free time to watch videos. I think everyone should go to YouTube.com sometime. I really think everyone would get some enjoyment out of it. :)

21st century education (class blog)

The 21st century skills (from google doc) are as follows: Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Oral/Written Communications, Citizenship/Global Studies, Career Studies, and Content and Research. I think that these are some excellent skills to go about teaching with, but however I do not think that schools are properly being set up for them. As soon to be new teachers, we are being taught these skills, but I do not believe that the school systems are inquiring these skills at the same level as we are learning them. Many schools (I will not say all) still push upon students skills like memorization. We are being taught different techniques, and when we enter the school systems, our students will not be acustom to these measures. I think that school systems need to inquire these new 21st century skills more efficiently.
