The next addition to all classrooms will be a web based tool used to communicate what is going on within the classroom with students and parents. A web based tool such as Schoology or Google Classroom. Although, these are already used within classrooms, I believe all schools will soon be using one or the other. The reason I think this will be influential in the coming years is because it allows students to follow along with what is going on in class even when they miss a day. Also it will help parents follow along with what is going on in the classroom. This stands out because it is critical to students learning, when a child misses something in class they could fall behind very easily. Also some students may just be having an off day and not pay conscious attention during the instructional class time. Having another way to review the material is critical for student learning. It is beneficial for students who are easily distracted. In my future teaching I will be using one of these web based tools within my future classroom because I believe it is a great way for students and parents to follow along with the class assignments and materials. It enhances communication among the teachers, students and parents, and it is all around a differentiated form of instruction for students. Missing a day of school due to illness can cause a lot of stress and anxiety, I believe using a web based tool to communicate with students will ease that stress and anxiety for students and parents.
