This week there was a large range of optional tools to select from in group four. Some of the options suggest an online document such as Google docs (similar to Word) is a great collaborative group work tool cause it can be accessed by many computers at once, or it can be used by an individual to compile research.The vast range of virtual educational games and activities on EdHeads , Froguts and exploring museums like the Museum of Science are tools that incite creativity and inspiration in children to learn more about the world they live in like exploring the earth, taking a safari tour or viewing the house students live in via Google Maps/Earth is Fun exercises to lighten the load, or to create an interactive learning environment for children also. Another idea from the digital tools is creating timeline of history and interesting people on Dipity. These are all great ways to interact with the technology world into the classroom and create an environment for children to advance their knowledge of the world and technology we live in and with today in our society.
Here is a links to the group four tools I mentioned
