Prompt #4

The Gretzky Principle is all about moving towards a new idea instead of chasing after something that has already been used. I did not realize how many different interactive websites there are that teachers could use in their class. I believe that teachers using the new interactive technologies would be the best way to keep the students engaged into the lesson. I believe we should be using online blogs to communicate outside of the classroom as well as sites like the Etherpad. As long as teachers keep updating what technologies they use to have the students interact with each other and to use to learn about the lesson, I believe that the students will always be interested and involved in the activities. One thing teachers need to look out for is the overuse of one technology, because the students would become bored easily if they are always using the same thing day after day.
