Thing #5
After looking around and learning more about Web 2.0 I have decided that technology is completely relevant for our future. I looked at Web 2.0 A Guide for Educators and learned a lot of new good stuff! One of them being about the Podcast. I am not familiar with podcast and how to use them in the classroom but after reading up about the use of technology in the class I know there are many ways to use it in a positive way! School 2.0 means that our future as educators will be full with endless possibilities to use technology in out instruction. With our world constantly changing and growing technology will only get better with time as we grow and teach our children. That is why we have to feel comfortable using all these new ideas in order to teach our children using new technology.

I agree with you that technology is becoming a big part of our world and that we need to start implementing it more and more in the classroom. Technology, if done right, has its benefits. I just wonder what grade is appropriate to start using technology?
ReplyDeleteYea, I agree. I would have to say at least 1st-2nd grade. My mother teaches 1st grade and see always uses different types of technology in her classroom. Just think how many kids have DS, PlayStation, IPods, TV's? Kids are surrounded with stuff like that these days I am sure they can comprehend technology throughout the classroom! Thanks for responding!
ReplyDeleteI am the same way- I did not know much about a podcast, but hopefully after reading about it I can successfully create one.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in response to Donaldo8's comment, I feel any age group can experience technology but in different ways. It will be interesting to see how younger generations respond to growing up with such advanced technologies that weren't as common when we were young.
