For the podCast I discussed one of my favorite creative software applications we discussed this semester: photo sharing. While I use this tool regularly in my everyday life I had not thought about applying it in a classroom setting. By incorporating photo sharing with an ongoing course assignment of daily documentation by students, students will be able to share what they are learning about English, its connection to their lives, and do so through a creative outlet.
After listening to the podCast I was reminded of some of the other great tools we've learned to utilize over the course of the semester. One of my favorite ideas though was for utilizing YouTube to send fitness clients video demonstrations of workouts. This could also be applied in the classroom, rather than creating a complete powerpoint of lecture for students who missed class or generating several emails to absent students- how easy would it be to create a classroom YouTube channel and update it daily with a brief overview of what was discussed, assignments, and their due dates. This would also be a great access point for parents to check in on their students and to learn what is going on in their classroom. Cool!
