A con with this tool is that students may be driven away from it thinking that its just another powerpoint presentation. I would make sure that they know that's the last thing I am trying to do. Blendspace's are more interactive than powerpoints and require students to take part in them. Also for the slides where you would add a link to a website I think the slide is too small. I would prefer it to be a little larger so that students could get a better preview of the website.
Here's the link to my blendspace: https://www.blendspace.com/lessons/kI5rpy5GZJJNfA/adhd-in-the-classroom
I do like your idea behind blendspace. I personally did not like it as much as other websites, but it is still a great tool. What are some ways you would have your own students use this website (other than presenting it to them)?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Blendspace because from my own personal experiences with it, it took too much effort and time for what I was getting out of it. However, I do like the integration of a quiz into the lesson for students as both a checkpoint and an assessment tool.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Blendspace is a little labor-intensive, but I like it for how customizable it is. I don't use much technology in my classroom but I think that if I taught something that translated easier through digital media (basically if I didn't have to type equations and generate pretty graphs all the time) I would integrate this tool into my classroom.
