3         ways to use social network in classroom:
·         I would use twitter, reminding students about their homework assignment, educational blogs that maybe interested and related to their learning subject, or learning hashtags that would be useful in their learning process.   
·         I would use Facebook but it not allowed using it in my country school districts. However, if there is any chance to use it I will apply some educational games to enhance the students’ motivation of learning.
·         I would enhance the students curiosity  to find ways or their ways  to use social network in class lesson  and will making sure that would be access from their school district to work on it.

Thinking people and passions rather than classes and content
&
Always be real not just relevant
From these two unites I learned different things:
First: know the passions and the interest of your students to learn and apply it in your lesson plan. As show to me many students like to use technology and try to show their knowledge in class in front of their peers, so it would be good idea to Guide them in their topic and enhance their technology knowledge to search and find their information. I read article about teacher who work to enhance his students’ lack of writing academic skills by knowing their passion. He asked students to find their interest topic and write their questions about the topic after that writing their research. It is wonderful idea because he knows that student would apply all his/her know to improve the work.
In addition, the iteration, many instructors/teachers made their lesson plans with the same movement. I mean maybe he started with presenting the class after that answers student questions which is bored to students. It is good idea to know your key of iteration and enhance it and apply many things could make the class more interested to students.    
Moreover, as partnering try to living out the teacher roles by coach, guide, or instructional expert. All this difference selects should be choosing depending to your ability and goals as a teacher and your students’ passion and interested.
 Lastly, as a teacher try to make your subjects related to the reality of the student life. For instance, try to make a group of students have the same topic interest work to gather so they can use their knowledge and connect it with their lives.

Prezi and Google Docs
Prezi and Google Docs are beneficial tools for teachers to use in their classroom because the enjoyable and motivation that students could have in their learning class. As an educator, last semester I was amazed for some students presentation because they used Prezi and it was a wonderful, so I just copy the name in Google and read about to make my first presentation by using it. my first work was good for starting but my curiosity take me forward to learn more about and how is it a helpful tool in the classroom. It is really good tools more than Power point because you do not have to concern about the background, and the movement of your presentation.
This week in class, I learned something new about Prezi which is the opportunity to share my work with a group and they can add what they want in the same time I worked in. Likewise, the Google Docs that I can use with group by shearing the link and add them to shear with me the work. I will use these tools in my future classroom as a teacher because I know that students will enjoy and be amazed like me when I use it in first time. Also, I would use these tools in a group work in class to enhance the cooperative work between students. it would be good idea to review the class lesson by using these tools and make the students add what they think would be good to study from for their class.
