Blended Learning Tools

• Curriculum Presentations Tools 

  • In my blended learning design, I would like to incorporate the tools Screencast and Narrated Slideshow. Screencast allows you to capture an activity activity in your computer with audio or captions. This is excellent for presentations, students can use screencast to show their presentations through a video and include a voice-over so that they're still presenting but not showing their face, for those shy students. Narrated Slideshows is similar to doing lecture presentations but it allows you to add audio to each slide. This is excellent for teachers who lose their voice, they can prerecord their lectures so that they don't have to speak all day. These is also helpful with math, you use use this to show each step. 

• Collaborations and Social Media Tools

  • I would like to incorporate the tools Synchronous Conferencing. This tool is excellent for videocalls for group presentations, students call videocall and work together if they aren't able to meet face-to-face. This can also be helpful during school breaks, if a student is struggling with their break homework packets, they can videoconference with the teacher and get the help they need. 

• Digital Media Tools

  • I would incorporate the tools Drawing, Videocast. Drawing tools are helpful and essential because 1st/2nd graders still enjoy drawing so I would love to implement some tools that can integrate activities for drawing. Videocast tools are helpful by providing school appropriate videos when they are relevant to the lesson and students can also use some of it's features to create their own videos. 

• Teacher Productivity Tools 

  • I would incorporate the tools of Task Management Applications, Assessment Generators, and File Management. All of these tools are essential and helpful in allowing teachers to stay organized and keep all their files and content on track.
