In the first video Mrs. Cassidy showed us how her students use technology in the classroom. The students are excited to use the technology for the learning process. I was amazed on how much the first graders could do. We as future teachers do not need to put a limit on our students on what their abilities can be.
In the skype videos part 1,part 2, and part 3 Dr. Strange interviewed Mrs. Cassidy. I really liked the idea that they discussed about why they have class blogs. Honestly, I really plan on having a class blog with my future classroom if the administration allows it. Having a class blog is so beneficial to the parents of the students in the classroom. They can see what is going on daily they can see what their child is posting. When getting students interested in learning we need to appeal to what there interest are. Once we have their attention we can teach them what they need to be taught all the while having them interested in the whole part. Children need to be interested in learning or they are just not going to care and therefor they will not learn anything.
I like how on the third video she mentioned online safety for elementary students. It is very important to keep our students safe. She said that they do not need to give out any personal information and do not post any pictures of themselves. This is a very important point that every teacher should go over with their students. Technology is apart of the learning process and we need to act safely when on the internet.
good post :)
