In this episode of the Tech Chicks Podcast they discussed a multitude of different topics referring to education. The first tip they gave was the website called citation machine here teachers and students alike can create citations to put in their bibliographies if they are working on a research paper. This website it kid friendly and will help them create correct citations. Also there is an application that allows one to choose APA or MLA format. This is incredible because depending on the teacher one may prefer one over the other.
The tip of the week from the Tech Chicks was dealing with student safety. They were discussing students being online and how they should not share their real names or addresses. To ensure this does not happen they said that they told their students to make up a DJ name for their projects and podcasts. This way they cannot be tracked. Also, if students post anything online and there is an email slot available have the students use your address as the email. This way the teacher can be in charge of making sure no one is being inappropriate when contacting the students. So the teacher is then in charge of distributing out the comments to the students.
The last bit of information given was directed for the teachers for a get to know me idea. They posed that the teacher create either a podcast about their life or an ilife movie about your classroom, and home life. Also, for meet the teacher night when parents are invited, bring a camera so you can get photos of the student and parents together. This way you can have them do family projects with pictures included later on!
