In the past three weeks, we have had three presenters come to our classroom. For both a teacher and a student, having a guest speaker come into your room and provide information for students is a great learning tool. Speakers allow for a variety of perspectives on many topics, giving students different opinions to dissect.
However with currently being in my last few weeks of university EVER, I'm finding it hard to keep all of the information in order and absorb it all in the short amount of time we have. The presenter this week shared many different tech tools that he enjoyed. Maple, Diigo, ScoopIt, etc.
I often find it hard to keep track of which website or tool does what. As great as it is to have so many options online, I like to have a handful of tools that I can use. These tools are ones that I know my way around very well and feel comfortable using. I don't like using too many tech tools, as it becomes confusing. Even with tools that are supposed to help organize information (like Feedly), I still often find it hard to maintain the variety of options I have online.
My Goal: to play around with some new tech tools and become more comfortable with them!
Great goal - perhaps also to settle on the few that work for you! I have trouble with that myself ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a goal! I feel the same way with all the options out there, and so many are awesome. I have trouble just trying to use both instagram and facebook since both are social media sites, I find I want just one tool for that purpose. Same with any other purpose, I want just one tool and have it for that purpose only. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, or maybe I need to adapt more..
