English 3043 at Prairie View A & M University taught by Dr. Wakefield was probably one of the most exciting hands on courses I’ve ever taken. Throughout the course, many web 2.0 tools were introduced to better assist my colleagues and I in our future careers. Below are three tools that I found extremely beneficial as a future pre-k teacher….

Prezi

Prezi is a great tool used to show students visual presentations. This tool differs from a common PowerPoint presentation because it uses one canvas instead of traditional PowerPoint slides. Prezi is available whenever there is internet connection.

Blogs

Using blogs allows individuals to offer a personal perspective on any subject of their choice. It serves as a platform to discuss and offer opinions and open discussion on many relatable topics.

EPortfoilo

Eportfolio is a great tool that can be used to develop and show future employers critical elements of an educator’s background such as: work samples, philosophy of teaching, and resumes.
