The teacher that I was assigned to was Dianne Krause. Her blog was very helpful in many ways, especially when she found new and innovative ways to teach subjects and new ways for students to do their homework. The first post that I commented on was about students using Evernote. Before reading her post I had never heard of Evernote, not even for my college English classes. Evernote is the ultimate research tool for students who are in classes that require research and the usage of writing research papers. In Evernote students are able to spend less time on researching and more time on writing their papers. Evernote users are able to type in key words for their research papers and evernote finds all the best quality sources and sites that would fullfill the requirements of what they are researching.
The second post that I commented on was about Digital Discoveries. Dianne Krause found websites and games that would help students and teachers to learn more and to have more fun while doing their work. One of her Digital Discoveries was the music games. Games like Classics for Kids helps younger children to begin naming notes while keeping a steady rhythmic beat. Another game that was mentioned in her post was MyBytes music mixer, this game has students to begin their lessons by composing a five track composition, which can include different instruments like Bass, Drums, or a Keyboard. Skype usage in the classroom was another digital tool that was discussed in Dianne's blog. She explained how students and teachers are able to interact with other students and teachers that are from another country and they can ask questions and talk to each other.
