How Can Elementary Teachers Use Technology? // Convince Your Future Colleagues… // 2. **Create something using others’ materials.** This is where the mash-up begins. You can use others’ videos, words, pictures, documents, etc… Find existing examples/materials, upload your own examples, or create something new. We have digital cameras, digital camcorders, fun digital tools in the TTL, computers in the TTL, UITS labs upstairs. You also have your cell phones or own laptops. Use poetry, raps, etc… 3. **Post these to your content’s wiki page.** You may find there is already some information on this page. Contribute to this – it’s supposed to be a mash-up.

We made a PowerPoint that has examples of a parent teacher blog. This is important for elementary school because it is a good way to make sure the parents receive all of the information necessary.

 * Prezi would be an excellent tool for teachers to incorporate during lesson plans, especially for 4th and 5th graders, since it is similar to a power point, yet is much more interesting because it allows you to move around a path filled with visuals and information that would certainly draw their attention more since it is a newer and more invigorating presentation tool.
