Blogging through paper!

          I read the blog which is about 'paper blogs' and  I found it very efficient and creative. I think it is an excellent way to introduce blogging to students and  to make students excited about blogging. I think paper blogs can be implemented on all class from science to literature; therefore all teachers can use this method to reinforce the topics of the lessons as well as introducing  the blogging to students. They can also hang these paper blogs to schools corridors with Post-it notes so as to other students can read their paper blogs and can comment on it. I think it very herlpful strategy and can work with secondary students. 
         Furthermore, teachers can use paper blogs in language courses. For exmaple, students can write about their favourite trip/book/singer in Spanish to their paper blogs. Later on, they can give their paper blogs to each others so as to students can write their mistakes as a comment on Post-it notes. I think this method is very beneficial and enjoyable for students. 

Technology infused unit

       I think that the creation of technology infused unit  is very challenging due to the fact that as a students, we are not used to the lessons integrated with technology. In the lessons, our teachers doesn't apply  to any teaching softwares such as Edmodo, WikiSpaces or Jing. Their technological devices are only computers and Smartboards. Our teachers aren't role models to observe; therefore, we don't know how to create a teachnology infused unit as a student.
       Besides having some challenging parts, it is very useful for us. Thanks to, technology infused unit, we became familiar lots of teaching software. All of them are very efficient and beneficial learning tools for students.  For example, students can create a discussion environment by using Edmodo, share their ideas through Googlesites or give feedback about the lesson via Blogger etc. I am very sure that as a future teacher, I will absolutely integrate my lessons with technology.

2 different ways to incorporate cell phones in the classroom!

         Although some teachers think that cell phones are very distractive and unnecessary in the classroom, actually they can benefit from cell phones in their lessons. One way to incorporate cell phones in the class is to use "Wiffiti". It is a dynamic bulletin board which enable students write on it through texting by using their cell phones. To do this, firstly, teachers should create an free account on the web site of Wiffiti. Later, they should customize a screen and provide students a code where they can send their texts. I think that it is very excellent tool because teachers can use it for brainstorming activities or homeworks. For example, in Italian class, the teacher want students to text about their daily routine in Italian. Their messages appear on the screen in seconds.Then, she can demonstarate what they wrote there by using projector and can show their grammer mistakes. I think,Wiffiti is very beneficial learning tool for students.

          The second way to incorporate cell phones in the class is to use "Yodio". To use it, students should create an account and should link it to their cell phone number. Then, they have to call the Yodio number in order to record their voice. Students can use it on field trips to record their observations or teachers want students to record their voice to receive feedback from them after the lesson.
