Blog #1: Thoughts on Interactive Posters and Web 2.0


So far I have learned a lot about different types of technology in the classroom.  We have used Web 2.0 and Interactive Posters to begin to develop our understanding of the different ways to integrate technology in to our curriculum.  I would have to say that out of the two tools we have used so far I enjoyed the Interactive Poster the most.  The Interactive Poster was the easiest to use and provides the teacher with many different accessories to use with the format.  It was simple to post videos and I thought it was really neat how easy it was to put audio on the page. As a history teacher there have been many famous speeches that have been delivered and I think students would like the idea of listening to audio because it is something different.  Web 2.0 was also unique because it allows you to create many different formats for different sections of your class.  It too was easy to access and I could see Web 2.0 taking over the place of PowerPoint.  It is interactive and gives a different look then the boring layout of PowerPoint.  I think it would get students more involved in the learning process in the classroom to use both these features much more.  So far I have enjoyed the tools we have used and I will undoubtedly be using them to some affect in my own classroom.
