M1P4 Tools

 

              A 21^st century tool that I found is Facebook groups. Through my research I discovered several groups that cater to teachers wanting to enhance their knowledge of technology and discover ways to benefit their students. I joined some groups that post best practices surrounding incorporating technology in the classroom. I found a group for my city that is called Boaz City Schools 21^st Century Community Learning Center. This group provides academic enrichment for students and even their families that need help. I admire these programs and see them as a big benefit to our community. I think using Facebook to connect with the community and to help stay on top of the latest technological advances through groups is a huge benefit to the educator and the learners because it ensures TPACK is utilized.
