As a future teacher it is really important to know resources like these are here to help us. Belouga is an educational website that connects classrooms all over the world and try’s to achieve a primary goal. Belouga encourages global communication, and creates a virtual learning environment both at home and in the classroom. Belouga helps students develop an understanding of other cultures which is so important and one of my favorite parts of this tool, students learning about other cultures really broadens their perspective. It helps students understand that there are different ways of thinking, living, and solving problems, encouraging them to see the world from multiple viewpoints.
Belouga is also Free which is amazing for teacher or parents who want their students to globally learn. There is a $15 dollar version but the free version is just as good as well. While being free it offers available lessons that students can easily learn. Belouga has series which allows you to choose a developmental goal and have your student collaborate have a direct line of communication with other classes.
Overall I believe this is a great tool and I am excited to use Belouga in my future classroom.
You hit it spot on. Becoming future educators it is extremely important for us to be aware of our resources and options to incorporate into our classrooms. Becoming teachers and having our own classrooms to run is going to be a whole new world. Yes we are going to have guidance and supplies given to us, but we will also have to figure out some things on our own. Educating ourselves now on our options and availability for our classrooms is going to benefit us so much when the time comes and lift a load off our shoulders.
