Online Experiences Using Technology

• Talk about how you could use one of the technologies that qualify as an online experience with your students.
  
  • What content could this help you teach?
  • What type of pedagogical strategies might you use with your students?
  • What technologies do you think would be harder to use with your students? Why?

The one technology that I could use that would qualify as an online experience would be a web quest.  The thing that I love about a web quest is you can use it for all different types of content.  I teach Spanish so I have used web quests to teach about hispanic holidays and am anxious to use one to teach about the 21 Spanish speaking countries.  I would like to try implementing a blog system as well so my students could write back and forth with others from different Spanish speaking countries. 
The pedagogical strategies that I might use with my students would be to give them an audiovisual example of the language and text.  They could see and hear what the langauge sounds and looks like so those that have difficulty with language can have it read to them and summarized.  The technologies that would be harder to use with my students would be Podcasts.  Since it is all oral language there is nothing for my students to look at while they are listening.
