In our tech class we are learning about so many great tools to enhance your future classroom and make your student's learning more enjoyable. The two new tools we learned about were Museumbox and Go! Animate.
The first one http://museumbox.e2bn.org/ was very interesting and I feel it would really help the subjects of Social Studies and Science. Museum box is a tool where you can have your students or yourself make "boxes" that they can put information, videos, pictures, and links on to talk about a subject. Not only can you make "boxes" but each box goes into a "drawer" that allows you to organize your boxes into specific subjects. An example of a way you could use this is for science. You could create a whole drawer on the solar system and then each box would be a planet. At first I thought this was very confusing and I wasn't quite sure how you could incorporate it into the classroom. But then I played around on the website and realized how beneficial for students and teachers it would be. I think this is a great new way to let students present and create presentations on topics.
The second tool was www.goanimate.com . This site is where you can build your own video using pictures and animated characters to discuss a topic that you have talked about in class. This tool would allow you to introduce or review a topic you are discussing in class. I think that students would retain more of the information taught in school if it was presented to them in a fun exciting way. However I thought that this tool was rather expensive and not easy to access. If the tool was not so expensive I think that this would be a great tool for teachers and students to learn about all different subjects in the classroom.
