I thought about the many ways that I might use this technology in the classroom. One in particular jumped out at me right away. The ability to invite students to comment or post on issues in order give them a voice. Many times I have felt that if I got more feedback from the student, I might be a better teacher today. To me, giving the student a voice creates an element of trust between the teacher and student. For whatever reason, I always knew my students would be more motivated to work for someone they trust.
The other things I liked was to be able to reflect on your teaching experiences as this probably does not happen enough. Also, describing to fellow teachers what they have experienced what works and what doesn't work in the classroom. Finally, my favorite is to showcase my student's work. After all, its all about them right?
