Fun technologies

The first type of technology that I would like to further research and enjoy is YouTube because its popularity has grown so much so quickly and it is free for anyone to post news, video, and posters of all material. It's easy to access and can be viewed multiple times to allow students who may not be in class view it at some other point. The second type of technology that through this class that i've been introduced that is useful is blogs. It's free and students can personalize it the way they want. Students can have easy access to full communication with their teacher in and out of the classroom and can talk to the teacher publicly and privately. It's also easy to use and set up for people who are not computer literate. The third type of technology that I found useful was my personal search for Vernier Software and Technology which gives science and math teachers opportunities to use sophisticated software that was designed by teachers to implement fun and relevant labs that real scientists peform in the field.
