There are so many improving and emerging websites and pages
to use in the classroom. I think that technologies that are simple to use and
can incorporate faster, more efficient communication are the best for classroom
use. These technologies can include twitter, which is great for fast reminders,
blogs, can be used as or to submit assignments, and diigo, for efficient collaboration
in collecting data. Technology use also really depends on the age group. For
example, handing out iPads to a kindergarten class and having them each set up
and manage their own website may not be the best idea, but using the same assignment
in a high school class would be very effective.
Delicious is a really great resource for teaching. The site
allows the user to save and organize links that will always be ready use or go back
to. This makes lessons and planning much more efficient because having all the
sites saved in the same place can cut down time spent on trying to find the
cool picture or informational webpage.

In my opinion, cloud computing is the technology that holds
the biggest promise for education. Cloud computing is already so useful and convenient
for storing webpages, pictures, songs, documents, ect. With growing innovations
in technology and a growing rate of available space in many devices, I believe that
clouds will enter the classroom very soon, if not already. Sites such as
dropbox and google drive make sharing information so easy and multiple people
can look at and edit pages simultaneously. These sites can also be accessed
through apps in any device.
