I could use a chat/IM tool so that the students in my class can contact and ask questions about the city that they live in. Sometimes when people judge a city on if it is a good place to live or not, they do not see what is not presented to them. By using the chat tool students can ask questions and receive the answers back almost instantly. This would help them truly decide which place they think is the best.
Internet Resources that could be used by students.
How can I see using each of these tools in my future curricular integration plans?
Any of these resources will be helpful in any classroom. Technology is such a big part of education now, that we use these resources on a daily basis without really knowing that we are. Blogs are great for students to be able to display their work and get comments from people that are viewing their blogs. Kid friendly search engines are great because children can get information off sites that the teachers know are safe. The chat and Im resource is great for when students from one classroom want to communicate with students in another room and or across the country. Email can be used to communicate with other students, family members, teachers, or pen pals. When I was in elementary school we used email to communicate to students in other countries that were the same age as us. Surveys are great for students to fill out or just use the information that is provided from the survey results. Voip is just another way for students to communicate with other students. This resource is a bit more complicated to use, but it is useful. Images, sound and videos are great for students to hear and see what they need to know or what they want others to know. All of these are great resources for any classroom and for any grade level.
