Concept Map

I believe I am closer to the dynamic technologies because of the integration, collaboration, and engagement of the students.

Module 4

The technological tools used outside of the classroom that are listed above are:
·        Wiki- Wiki is a great tool to collaborate. It is a work in process with frequent interaction and feedback.
·        Ning, Twitter, & Facebook are social networking tools that can be utilized in an online setting with immediate feedback and response time.
·        IM – Can be utilized as an online tool to assist in collaboration with immediate feedback.
·        Skype – Skye is only used as a communication tool at the end of the class. It would be more effective if it is used at the beginning of
The project so that the students can gain and share valuable information. They can also brainstorm potential problems or share previous experiences with little nuggets of information that would save their peers time and spare headaches. Skype also provides a means of communication and giving the individual to experience face-to-face interaction.
