Technology+for+Sharing,+Collaborating+and+Communicating

During this class we have used numerous ways to share, collaborate, and communicate with each other. We have used such things as wikis, podcasts,and google docs. Using a Wiki helps us to share ideas with each other without having to email one another back and forth. We can edit each others work and help to improve the quality of assignment. Wikis can also be used to post blogs, podcasts, and even slide shows. These enable us to communicate by both audio and visual ways.

By using a podcast it can help with researching and sharing ideas with the rest of the class or even the rest of the world. Podcast allows teachers to record lectures and post them on a wiki for their students to go back and listen to if they have questions about something. Students can make their own podcast to share information and give presentation about specific ideas or articles. Podcasts also can allow students to collaborate with each other to make a group podcast.

Google forms allows people to make surveys. By creating surveys teachers and students can work together to improve the class room environment by making surveys that will get student opinions. By getting their opinions teachers can figure out how to improve their teaching style. Students can also see where they compare with the other students in class.
