Post #11: Go Guardian

     In this post I will be discussing a technology of my own interest, but can also be found in Dr. Wang's list that was only informational. This technology is called Go Guardian, please use the link below to reach the website. 

https://www.goguardian.com/

    There is no free trial, but there is an option to request a trial. It seems you may need it to get approved or sought out by district, instead of an individual teacher. However it seems the website gives you 3 categories to sign up under, Admin, Teacher, and Beacon. Then it has a quick highlight of things you are able to do within these roles. Refer to the 2nd image for more details. 

    A lot of the page emphasizes the safety with using this website software. Which I believe is a very important consideration when including technology into teaching and exchange of ideas. I think this software, is perfect for an overlap of frameworks, and events of the teaching process.

    Hi Caitlyn!
    I agree with you, having some sort of safety set up for your students in the classroom while using technology in the classroom. I had teachers use a similar program so that they students cannot just do whatever they want, and for the teacher to monitor the computer work.

    GoGuardian seems like a great thing for teachers to use to make sure their students are being safe online.

Post #7:BLACKBOARD

 In this post I will be discussing Blackboard, a technology from Dr. Wang's "Top 15 mentioned technologies in the classroom" List.           Blackboard seems to be very similar to Canvas. I believe this is the website my dad had to use when completing college courses online through the Army. It has your course and ways to sort/filter through them. It has Calendar, Messages, Grades, and a tab for assistance for your use. I played around with all the different tabs, but you also can learn through tutorials. In the grading tab its visually pleasing being organized by the class, then by the assignment. With each showing how many have submitted and have not.           It seems to have generated a fake class for me to try out in the free trial. In the grading tab it even had a spot labeled originality for their posts. Some students have a green check, others have an orange dash, and one student has a red x. I clicked on this stu...

Post #12: Kahoot

 In this post I will be discussing Kahoot, a technology listed in many slides, in Dr. Wang's powerpoint. Please use the link below to visit the website.  https://kahoot.com/         The first time I had participated in Kahoot was when I came to Spokane my sophomore year of high school. It was typically used as a brain break towards the end of class, and would be about disney, or any topics we chose. Then some teachers started using it as a review game for upcoming assessments.           Now going to the website it seems that there are a lot of different ways and usage for this website. I was only ever on the student side when using kahoot, so I didn't realize you could log on and create your own.  The customization of your assessments is great for the range of topics you can cover in classes. It allows teachers to make it personal for their class. It creates a great engaging opportunity for all classes and grades. I could ...
