I attended the seesaw and book creator workshops on March 25th. I really enjoyed learning about seesaw, however Anne Back mentioned that there might be a better apps like Google classroom to use in higher grades. Although I did see how it could be useful in a high school classroom. if I were to use the Seesaw app in my classroom she mentioned to have them login using their email to keep them accountable or change a lot of the settings so that they don't have that much power in the app. this app was capable of outside sharing in the form of a blog and she did warn us to be conscientious of that, and I feel like that applies for any app that you're sharing on. for seesaw there is also a parent app that is compatible with any device. The second workshop was over book creator. And while we have use that in class already, it helped me explore how I could use it as a high school science teacher. One option is for the students to make study guides and then they could easily export it onto their phones or device for studying later. One thing Mrs. Beck did say was that technology should always be assisting you, so if you're doing something with technology and it's taking you longer than you're not using technology right and I think that something that's easy to forget.
