This week in class we have been working on the Tech Teacher Game and the levels that we have completed so far are 1 through 4. In class last week we had completed levels 3 and 4 which was skills on collaboration and communication. Communication and collaboration are two important skills to have in life regardless of the job you have, although for teachers it is a must. For level 3 we had to work with Twitter, Content Curation, and Jing. These are three awesome ways to use both skills, especially Jing. I was a little confused and nervous to use Jing because I have never heard of it before and wasn't sure how to use it. After watching videos and reading about it I had created my own video that was about spelling for first graders. It allows you to record your voice as well as use the computer to highlight certain objects and what not depending on what you are talking about. According to ISTE, communication and collaboration is important and useful because students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Communication is a lifelong skill to have because with good communication skills you are able to interact with others and talk about certain ideas or what not. These skills are good to have also because you are able to contribute to team projects and it seems as though today there are endless amounts of ways that people can communicate whether it be online or in person!
