Tool 9

1.I think incorporating technology in the classroom helps pull the reluctant learner in with engaging the student in a different way.

2. Students should be held accountable while working at stations for several reasons. First to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be working on. Second, to make sure the technology is being used correctly and being taken care of in a responsible manner.

3. I have just started investigating all the different apps that are available. One that I have just started using is Picnic. It seems easier to edit photos than other applications. MasterpieceMe looks interesting. I think any program that allows the students to interact with it is sure to make students want to participate.

4. Any of the apps that allow students to produce a finished product could be shared in their digital portfolio or with other students and teachers. Sharing those finished products would be a way to hold students accountable.

5. Students could use the station as a way of looking up possible subject matter to include in their work. What some particular object looks like - they could look up different images.
