The tools I used was Poll Everywhere. I invited people to respond through the link and mobile phones. I got a few responses and the links to the live charts are below.
I would like to use this surveying technique in my classroom; especially because I will be with high schoolers next year. I think this would spark their motivation instantly. It can be done quickly and easily and the results can be posted on the smartboard. One of my local schools, Haverstraw Middle School, was on the video where the students used their cell phones in class. It was very inspiring. I also like the use of flip cams and podcasts. So much can be done with them and students can gain valuable learning lessons by capturing footage and editing it. Also, being in the library media center, I would like to incorporate e-Readers. Kindles and Nooks are becoming more and more popular and I would like to have this option in my media center to encourage students to read in any format.
Some challenges I forsee with the technology I'd like to incorporate into my class are budget and usage. These new technologies can be pricy to jumpstart and our school budgets are getting smaller. I would hope I could find some affordable solutions. Also, with every new change in the library media center, there needs to be a way to implement rules and regulations so that the equipment doesn't get abused or misused. In addition, how do I make sure there's fair usage and all students have equal access to the technology? There would definitely need to be a thought out plan of how to implement these new technologies.
