Blogger as a tool 2.0

b. A short presentation of the tool

First I want to be clear about the difference from a Blog and a Blogger.

A blog is use as a diary or different topics to express about. The posts from a Blog are shown from the most recent, at the beginning of the web page. 

A blogger is a  publishing  service of blogs . It’s an online web manage by Google. It´s an online web it can’t be download in any device

c. A paragraph telling the way you would use the tool for teaching.

I would start my class stimulating students just by talking about something in average interest. For example MUSIC. We know music is updating every day and that our musical likes are not the same from a young adolescence student . Every time we hear new different artist. I would have to update my music and ask them to start talking about the different types of music they like to listen to or artist they really love. Then I would show them the blogger I create for them with the different genres of modern music and modern artist students listen to.  After I show them my blog and socialize it. I would let them create  a blog with their favorite artist and music. They would happily accept this challenge because they want to express themselves and defend the genre of music they choose.

d. A paragraph telling the importance of using this tool.

I´d really like to motivate my student to be interested in creating a Blogger. Why? A blogger is a creative way student can passionate themselves to express in different topics.  It´s a  digital platform where every day we can connect to the world. Being read by many blogger around the world.

THE WEB 2.0 TOOL: WIKI

The wiki web 2.0 tool is a working computer system used on websites that allows users to modify or create your content quickly and easily. There are installable wikis for use in personal desktop or portable computer on a USB stick.

Has a master page requires q is you name, has another series of pages, there are sequential, each page is separate and independent and separate, each time a page is added it must be placed a name. All pages can have a different size, the ratio of the pages are set linking them, each page carries a link to another, establish a network of links. You can have a link to a web page; each page can have a different author. It looks like a web page; the most famous wiki is the wipidepedia. The aim is to create social and encyclopedia, is probably the most popular application that has the wikis. Any user who knows the subject creates another page and relates, in this way an application is built.

I would use this tool when they are group work, so that each group create a wiki with the subject being taught, and the other comrades have the opportunity to comment on this and add related links and consistent with the theme, looking so learning that everyone has with the accuracy of their answers.

The importance of wikis is promoting the necessary information, and one of the main advantages is that you can edit and improve the content published there, facilitating update via text editor. Overall, Wikis are a source of information needed as they are faster than any other means of information. An example is the Wikipedia page that is 5 pages most visited in the world.

b.    A short presentation of the tool

 The tool I chose is a tool where screen shots can be alone or accompanied by audio.

c.    A paragraph telling the way you would use the tool for teaching.

      The way I would use this tool, is to include virtual methods in either virtual or non-virtual environments.  I would include my classes in this tool, for a new vocabulary chapter to innovate a new topic.  To allow students to enjoy more than a teacher giving a class, but only pictures and my voice to guide. I would use this tool to teach them a creative way of learning and this could be kept in a platform so they can study for exams with this audio.

d.    A paragraph telling the importance of using this tool

      This tool is very important, even for a teacher that innovates with a blog. The teacher can upload a weekly summary of each class using this tool; this would help students to learn the subject. This would make them learn and not memorize, because memorizing will just be useful for the exam while learning is for a lifetime. This tool can be used with every subject, it’s important for teachers to innovate and make creative learning.
