Students today are so into technology and I think teachers are scared that they may learn something from their students. I completely agree with teachers teaching the way they were taught.Christina R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15351923704786405338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768835639689894618.post-25178889013505744562009-07-14T22:27:23.303-07:002009-07-14T22:27:23.303-07:00Important video!

That is why my son, who loves to write poetry independently, did not even have one writing unit this year in his state-side school. More worksheets came home in his backpack in one week, than he had in a semester when he attended a private school two years ago overseas. We, as teacher, must change the way we do things. We can learn from the students themselves about applications, wikipages, etc. digital storytelling is just a beginning. These kids live for the computers and will be adults in a world that is computer driven. Our job is to teach them how to use them to express their thoughts and creativity. That is hard for teachers to do because we didn't grow up that way. But enough excuses, we have to overcome that and get on with it. Take training, try new things, ask the students to show us how to use some of the applications, get on line for project ideas. It can be done.gwittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197736516809155082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768835639689894618.post-15901249636899615022009-07-14T15:24:30.629-07:002009-07-14T15:24:30.629-07:00I really liked this video!

With so many young people using technology as heavily as they do I think that it would be much easier and more beneficial to adjust the ways it is used to make it more effective.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937789563866066943noreply@blogger.com
