Activity using
appropriate Technology
tools
Lopez, Arjay S.
BEED 3F

2. Technology as a Collaborative Tool
 One way to engage students is to give them a
challenge and a chance to work together.
 Normally in a regular classroom, teachers may
have discouraged students from conversing with
classmates during individual work, but
sometimes there are positive things that can
come out of it as students talk about the task
assigned to them or as they work themselves of a
complicated task.

3. Different available tools and
applications for collaboration:
Skype
Wiki
Blogging
Google group or Google form

4. Skype
 Skype is a software
application allowing
you to do a
videoconferencing for
free. All you need is
to create an account
and can be used for a
video meeting.

5. Wiki
 Is a Software that allows you to create a page or a
selection or pages designed to allow you to post or write,
edit, or upload a link quickly. This is good when students
need to work together to complete a task even if they are
not physically together. A task such as writing a paper
together, planning a presentation or surveying ideas from
team members can be managed by a wikispace that
efficiently allows one to document the contribution of
each member in the team. Work can be extended virtually
and asynchronously.

6. Blogging
In blogging, it is journaling your ideas
to which others can react allowing a
thread of discussion to take place and
which can be used online. It is the
abbreviation of weblog. It would help
if you provide direction when using a
weblog.

7.  Use weblog with a clear instructional objective. It is an
opportunity to explore the skill of communicating ideas.
Like in a writing class you can guide students on how to
design the whole blog or upload materials and support
students in developing critical communication.
 Guidance on what and how to post will be needed. Teach
the students that the blogging is for educational purposes
and is different from a personal blog. Proper or formal
language variety should be used. A writing prompt would
help to guide your students’ posts.
 With easy access to information, a major obligation is to
teach the students to use multiple source and to cite
them appropriately.

8.  Writing about your ideas is a personal act but it is
important that you are taught to make blogs
personal without revealing too much of personal
information such as contact information and too
personal pictures. When writing blogs, you write
your reflections but safeguarding yourself is also
an important consideration
 It may help if you can look for very good
examples of blogs. There are online and print
publications that review blogs and you can use
the Information towards to good model.

9. Google Group or Google Form
 is an application that can be used in a
collaborative documentation of ideas
contributed by members of the team.
Having a google account will come
very handy and you can easily have
access to a variety of applications.

12. IMPLEMENT ICT-SUPPORTED
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
 Collaborative learning encourages and enables students to
work and learn together to study and explore a subject, to
solve a problem, to complete a task or an assignment, or
to create a project. Using ICT to support such
collaborative work has a number of advantages. Not only
can it facilitate certain collaborative activities but it also
can enable students work collaboratively even when they
are located in different places and collaborating at
different times. Furthermore, collaborative work
supported by ICT enables them to practice essential 21st-
century skills such as collaboration, communication, and
knowledge creation.

13.  When it comes to choosing a suitable method and/or
tool to support the collaborative learning activities
you have planned for your students, there are quite
a few aspects you need to take into consideration.
 The first is finding a method and/or tool that
matches your activity and which offers the
functionality that you will need.
 You also need to take into account issues to do with
technical support and complexity – is this a method
and/or tool that you can easily use, and if it needs a
lot of technical or other support, is this available?

14.  What about the cost of the service or tool that
you chose, and if there is a cost, how will it be
covered now and in the future? Given the
increasingly data-sensitive world in which we live.
 You need to also consider privacy and the
management of data arising from your
methodology and use of various tools.
