What is SlideShare?

SlideShare is the world's largest community for sharing presentations. It is amongst the most visited 200 websites in the world. Besides presentations, SlideShare also supports documents, PDFs, videos and webinars.

How would I use SlideShare?

As a future educator, I plan to use SlideShare to provide my students with information that we are reading about in class that is not in the books.As I have learned from some of my teachers here at CSUSM, I will be able to present to my students facts about the time period of the literature we are talking about and / or about the author. This will be best viewed in a SlideShare because the students will be able to have a link for it and access it at their leisure.

What is Google Calendar?Google Calendar can help assist teachers and students know when items are due and teachers can share what they want to share with the students for them to see what is coming up. Everything will be posted on the date that is due and this will help everyone have all the information needed to succeed in the classroom!

How would I use Google Calendar?

As a future educator, I plan to use Google Calendar to share with my students and their parents when assignments are due and what is supposed to be done when.I think this will benefit everyone in class and at home because it will be like providing my students with a digital syllabus that can be edited at any time that it is needed and the students - and parents! - can just go on there to see what they need to work on and the dates that it is due.

www.iclicker.com

What is i>clicker?Download the free software, create your course, pass out the clickers, and begin polling. i>clicker does not require any sort of log-in procedure and every question asked is automatically captured and saved for review. You can register student remotes before class, in class, after class, or never at all!

How would I use i>clicker?

As a future educator, I plan to use i>clicker to keep attendance of my students and to have them answer pop quizzes. This little remote will assist my students in counting themselves present in class and also answering the questions of a quiz with the push of a button, which I think is less time consuming than having to do it without the remote provided with i>clicker.Sadly, this resource isn’t free, so I hope that the school I teach at has the funds to provide it for me and my students.

What is SMART Board?

SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard which helps improve learning. It combines the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer. It lets you deliver dynamic lessons, write notes in digital ink and save your work – all with the simple touch of a finger!

How would I use SmartBoard?

As a future educator, I plan to use SmartBoard to instruct my students when we are talking about a specific author or book. I would be able to tell them to “write down” on the SmartBoard what they know about the author or book and we will all be able to discuss it together.While this service is not free, I hope that the school I teach at is able to have it because I know it will benefit my students greatly.
