GOOGLE TOOLS

I learned about some google tools that are very helpful in the classrooms. I learned about Google Earth, Virtual Field trip, Nearpod, Edmodo, Google Slides.

Virtual Field Trip 

Field trips are informal learning experiences that get students out into the world, exploring the world and students' interests. Trips to museums, parks, historical sites, and more show students that learning (and life) happens outside the classroom, too. During field trips, students discover new things and learn in authentic environments, placing classroom content into new contexts. Unfortunately, for many schools and students, field trips are rare (if they happen at all). Thankfully, there are great games, apps, and websites that can bring places and experiences fostered by field trips to the classroom. While not an outright replacement, these field trip tools can offer inspiring and intriguing experiences for students.

I think that these tools are very helpful in the classroom. Last year, I was teaching Science but there were some topics related to nature, what I wanted to do was taking students outside and explore with all things we have around but the fact that I had so many students in the classrom limited me to doing it. Now, learning about all this tools give a better idea to teach. If I had know about this before I would apply it in class and my kids will have learned a lot. I will apply them this year as a English teacher. 

I have to say that in this course I learned a lot, specially because  do not spend so much time in front of my computer exploring or larning new tools. I want to thanks professor Ana Palencia for all her patience in teaching us.
