For our course we chose to use various types of technology for the students to learn and interact with. We used WordPress, Microsoft Word and Google Forms. 

WORDPRESS: the online portion of our blended class can be found on a WordPress website. We chose this because the platform is very user friendly and easily accessible on numerous devices. Due to WordPress’s popularity, there are also numerous tutorials for how to use the platform and that additional support aided in our decision to use this platform (Learn wordpress).

MICROSOFT WORD: a very popular platform that is predominantly used by educational institutes . It is incredibly user friendly and allows students to complete their activities (mind-map) on a platform that they already have through school. Word also has a Dictate function that allows students to complete activities with a Text-To-Speech function (Microsoft).

GOOGLE FORMS: a tool that allows instructors to easily and effectively create and analyze the results of surveys. Our Interactive Learning Resource used google forms as a means of submitting work and completing formative and summative assessment.
