With the new technologies, many things are available to use in the classroom such as podcasting, video and screencasting, and lve streaming. These tools would be wonderful to use in the classroom. I have heard of podcasting before, but never used it myself. I hear alot of good remarks about podcasting because it allows the students to interact with other students in a different way - over the internet via radio. Another aspect that I did not know about podcasting was that it is available through iTunes. I am not much of an Apple person, but do use their iTunes for some things that I have. I will have to go look at that.
Video and screencasting are also important because the students will eventually be using this sometimes in their future. It is nice to have them learn how to multi-task and use the different tools to show others how to do something.
Live streaming is also something that is gettiing popular, however, I am not sure if I would use this in my classroom with primary elementary students.
I will incorporate a lot of technology into my classroom when I start teaching, but will be picky about it just because I will be working with young children. i am a technology person and LOVE to do anything with technology!
