Participate 2- Collecting Reputable Digital Resources

     When thinking about which web based tools I should use, I thought about what would beneficial for my students in a math classroom. I googled virtual versions of the tools I currently use in the classroom and that helped mold the decision about what three tools I would bookmark in my social bookmarking website. The three tools that I bookmarked in my social bookmarking website were virtual algebra tiles, a math dictionary, and a scientific calculator. I chose these tools because math has been very paper based for centuries and many thinks that it’s difficult to be successful in math virtually, but it is possible with the proper tools. An orientation at the beginning of the course would be the perfect way to teach students how to find important tools like these and how to ensure that the tools are beneficial and also safe for the classroom.

Participate 1 - Joining a DLC

     I chose to join the Twiducate site as my designated DLC. The reason why I chose this site because it allows students and teachers to create personalized social media sites for the classroom.

Participate - Accessing Digital Learning Communities

My county was ranked number one in the state for accessibility of internet in households. I know that this is mainly because my county is partnered with Verizon that provides internet to all students. Also there is a program for students with free or reduced lunch to get internet at a reduced rate. I believe that if there wasn’t opportunity for students to have internet at home, I would help students to ensure they have access to internet and a computer during school whether in my classroom or library and that I would give them opportunities in the class to work with technology. Being that the entire course is offered online, if it becomes a major problem for students to have access to complete work, I would try to help the student and parents to find other avenues of learning. In the end, ensuring that the student has the best opportunity to learn is key, so if need be, I would ensure that the students have what they need before anything else.
