Blendspace

This past week the class was introduced to Blendspace which sounds like the ultimate quick lesson planning tool a teacher could have. It’s perfect for creating guides to homework problems and resources for students to refer to. It could be used for flipped classrooms and for test reviews. It’s a great tool to have for emergency lessons if students don’t understand. Students can get lost in the lectures and text so this multimedia applicator is a great alternative to everyday teaching. Personally this is my favorite technology tool I have been introduced to.   I don’t see using Blendspace as an alternative to teaching a whole lesson but it’s helpful in getting the important factors in a lesson through the students. I see multiple possibilities with using Blendspace. I checked out some of the featured lessons and found great resources for teachers to suggest to students. You can even have upper level student create their own study guides for each other or even mini lessons for extra credit. Teachers can asses students understanding using the comments, work and quizzes.
