Tokbox in the classroom

Tokbox can be useful in promoting dynamic and interesting learning environments. Many kids don't have much motivation to work hard in school and don't complete their homework assignments. Tokbox could be a great tool for motivation, and allows the teacher to stay posted on each individual students face to face...well almost. When a student finishes their homework they can report to the teacher immediately following, telling what they did/ what they learning for a particular activity.

For example, what I am doing now. I will report on what I learned in my class last Tuesday night. It was interesting to be reminded that one must be a teacher in order to be a learner. there should be 3 roles in an effective learning process. So students should be encouraged to teach what they learned in order to reinforce that knowledge.

Week 1 PLE post: My technology background and experience

My relationship with technology is bitter sweet. I think I know the basics of technology, only because I have grown up in a time where it surrounds me. I have used computers, cell phones, facebook, digital cameras, video games, and music players. However, I have not had very good luck with many of these electronic devices. It seems that much of what I try to work with doesn't work right. But when it works just right than I am fascinated. I feel that I am easily fascinated with new technological advances.

I am grateful for technology and how it connects me with friends and family, as well as allows me to achieve academically. School is so much more convenient now than 30 years ago.

I look forward to learn more about what is available.
