This week we learned how to create these awesome blogs! I'm excited to take ownership of my learning through my blog entries. I will enhance my learning through these reflections and I hope you enjoy reading!
Dr.Smirnova requested that our blog entry include a video called "Vision of Students of Today".
The vision: "Students will use engaging technologies in collaborative, inquiry-based learning environments with teachers who are willing and able to use technology's power to assist them in transforming knowledge and skills into products, solutions, and new information."
This video is really interesting and engaged me immediately. It put into perspective how much technology is a part of the lives of children in today's society. Even reading is done using ipads and ipods; or, books are read to kids through these devices.
63% of teachers never let their students create something with new technology. This is a staggering statistics because technology is in your face everywhere you time. As times change, the classroom should change with it. Students should learn to share information and communicate with each other using the devices they already have at their fingertips.
