Zoom Technology

In Educational Technology and Design, students had the opportunity to use Zoom Video Conferencing. Zoom is a tool that, as a future teacher, I could use with my own students!  During my experiencing using Zoom, I was working on a group collaboration project.  Zoom not only allowed all of us to come together to discuss what we needed to use, but we were also able to talk with our instructor, Dr. Ping Gao.  Dr. Gao was able to look at the work we had done so far on our project and provide constructive comments to my group.  She was also available to answer any questions that we had about our project. Using Zoom in the classroom could be a way to communicate with students over projects, like I was able to experience in this class!  It could also be a great tool for inviting guest speakers to the classroom.  It would be possible to use my connections from people around the world to share their expertise and knowledge in a classroom of any grade level!
