Tool 11

I actually think the best tool that I could use in the class is the blog itself.  It can be used as a central location where I can give out links and specific information that students need both at school and at home and it gives them an opportunity to also interact with me and other students on certain topics.  Since my students in all 3 of my different classes have to do various types of research, a blog is a great place for me to put the instructions, requirements, and resources so they are easily accessible.  I don't feel that my view of how things are going to work in my classroom has changed because I have already been using various types of technology and encouraging students to look for information in places that they don't normally think of.  I have just seen some other options that I can take into consideration when making plans.
