My experience with New Media .
www.wordle.net
My experience with new media is multifaceted but on an adequate level. Back in High School I already had a good knowledge about how to use the internet properly, how to work with Microsoft Office and I knew everything about the most important rules for working with Power Point. We already had an updated e-learning center with about thirty computers, we had wireless stations and got used to working with lo-net. It was just the time when everything started to improve and to get updated. For presentations we already used media towers with a laptop and a projector or a flat screen. Discussions in our New Media class showed me that my High School did a very good job in teaching us, how to work with new media. That was about 5 years ago.
However, the more shocking it is now when I have to find out that I am missing so much of what it´s called new media today. For example I never heard of delicious before, which is a wonderful way to save all your important web sides. As a teacher it will become very handy for providing my students with appropriate online sources when for example working on an online based project. Weebly is another brilliant web media for creating your own internet page. As a teacher you can upload important information for your different classes, you can upload handouts for students who had to stay at home and you are able to keep in touch with your students outside the classroom by adding a blog to your homepage.
So basically everything is new to me which has to do with new media approaches in school, for me as a teacher. Therefore, I am looking forward for learning more about how to implement the new technology in a classroom environment so students get sensitized for the new media the same way I got, when I went school. My goal for the future is, to show my students that there is something more than facebook and schülerVZ. They should be aware of how helpful the new media can be and how important it is to have the right knowledge for using it.
While I am working with weebly, I am going to link the most important web tools and give you some ideas how to work with them in class.
