On the 2.0 site I took an assessment to show where I am when it comes to incorporating technology into the classroom. My results are posted below and as you can see there is definitely room for improvemnet when it comes to me and technology. :)
I choose to explore the results of Nets 1 and "Google Groups". Google groups is a very helpful tool for not only teachers and students but also could be very valuable in the business world. Google groups allows you to have conversations over email or the web. It is a way to stay connected to people in your group and collaborate on things. You can start discussions within your group and keep in contact with what there doing. You can also have different groups for different things. You might want one group for fellow classmates and a separate group for people on your sports team.
I think that this is a great tool to know how to use especially in a classroom. Students can engage with other classmates and clarify things that they may not understand. It gives them the environment to collaborate on ideas and help each other. Also for teachers it is a great way for them to pass on ideas and give each other feedback on classroom activities. Nets 1 is all about inspiring students learning and creativity. This is a great tool to share with students to help them illuminate their own thinking, planning and creative processes!
