The first workshop that I attended was blogging with seesaw. I first learned about the different tools that app holds and how to use each one. After getting through the basics, I then learned how to set up my own classroom blog and how to add students and parents to the app. I feel that I will for sure use this app. It is an exciting new way to communicate with parents about the fun things that are happening in the classroom and share information about their child. I especially like that I am able to share information to the whole classroom community such as homework or I can share information personally with a certain parent if need be.
The second workshop that I attended was google links. I first learned how to download google chrome on my mac and why it is more beneficial than safari or basic google. I also learned that with google links I can add different tools to my toolbar at the top of the page and use them to share with my students such as the scan bar. The scan bar allows teachers to make a bar code where the students can scan the code with their iPads and be directed to the link that I am viewing. I feel that google links is something that I might use in my future classroom. I think that I would make the technology in the classroom easier by having everything pre downloaded on the computer.
