REFLECTION 6

I really believe that tools that I have learned so far will help me comminucate and teach my students in a more productive way. I really think that teaching my students to blog can help with creating a great communication bridge with them. I also like that sites thing, allowing my students and parents to get online and look and what we are going to be doing daily! It is a great tool and one I think I will use in my classroom!

VIDEO WEEK 6

Vision of Students today Video- I liked that video alot and I definatley agree with the message. We live in a world full of technology, technology that us as students would struggle to survive without it, and it will be the same for our future students. We need to include technology in our classrooms it is almost neccessary for success! I found it interesting, I don't think alot of teachers realize that the way their students is and should be very different from the way they learned!!

VIDEO WEEK 5

I thought the video was interesting. It is very true that technology is endless and ever so increasing in our world. The limits are almost endless, and not only is technology growing but it is growing rapidly. It is crazy to think that in just a few years our students will be learning in the classroom completely different then we did! My parents have come to me many times with questions about the computer, the email, thier cell phones etc. Perhaps in 10 years I will be doing the same with my children!!

VIDEO WEEK 4

Did you know VIDEO - I really liked this video it really made me think about some things, I especially liked the two following quotes alot. They really hit me hard...."We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don't yet exist...in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet." " We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
-Albert Einstein
Tight video!!

REFLECTION 4

How will Microsoft Word help me communicate with my students? Well the obvious answer is through documents, letters, assignments etc.
How will Microsoft Word help me communicate with my students' parents? With Microsoft I can create letters to send home to the parents.
What are the pros and cons of Microsoft Word? Cons- Well now that I know about google documents and how you can collaborate with others on them, I find that as a disadvantage when it comes to microsoft word, because you can't do that with microsoft.
Pros- Microsoft is very simple and easy to use, children and adults can use it.
