Reflection: How can you bring the technology the tools learners are using outside of the classroom into the educational process? Which tools and strategies are best for this purpose?
Technology tools that learners are using outside of the classroom that would enhance communication and collaboration could include social networking tools such as Facebook and Second Life. These tools could be brought into the classroom by creating a class or school page on one of the web resources and invite students to join. Communication can be improved through the ability to find classmates who are online with whom students can ask questions or comment about the class.
Another technology that many student use it Skype for communication. Skype can be introduced as a contact method for the instructor and other students. Many students who need the face-to-face interaction would benefit by having Skype as an option.
Two other technologies currently used outside of the classroom are wikis and blogs. These two technologies can be introduced into the classroom as student and group projects and to encourage student collaboration.
