Future Digital Teacher

Some ideas using media & technology for teaching.
*Internet social networking can tie students outside of the classroom. Social networking such as Ning, Gather or Facebook, which allows users to join various small groups within the sites. Teacher or any students can create a group. They can share school stuffs as well as personal interests.
*Google Docs allow users to share their documentation works! It is a good tool for cooperative learning. Students can do a group project at home without having an extra meeting outside. It may not promoting a group discussion, yet it is quite a tool to create one document by group of people.
*Podcasting can be used for improving student's speech skills. Since it is an audio file, ELL students can make a short audio record without worries to show their faces. They can listen to other student's audio files and make a comment on it. Eventually, they will be promoted to improve their speech skills to publish their own podcast.
