Final Blog Post

Two of the most useful technologies I have learned this semester are blogging and Google Docs. The blog is great for both personal use and also for school use. This way even if my school doesn't have online technology that I can use to put in assignments and things, I can still create my own blog to keep my students up to date on what's going on. Google Docs I really like because you can easily save things online. Also, multiple people have access to what you've written. This would be a great technology to use when students are working on group projects.
Engaging students in active learning can be done by having students be a part of the technology instead of just having them watch it. So students should work on creating their own presentations and posting them to the class blog, or creating a movie and uploading it to youtube.
