First blog post!
I'm looking forward to learning more about blogs and how they could be used as a classroom writing activity. This form of writing could be fun and interactive for students, especially if we could get family and friends to follow our blog. My clinical faculty uses a lot of technology in the classroom, and on Friday the 4th grade class is learning to make websites by making a site about our field trip to Jamestown. Whenever she teaches a new technology tool, she starts with a fun project before having them do something more meaningful so learning the technology does not get in the way of the intended product later on.

I hope you will share (either through this blog or in person) about your students' creation of websites.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that technology can get in the way of lessons' outcomes, etc... and I think that is true. In the humorous video we watched in class, technology was being used "just because." So how do teachers incorporate technology without losing focus? How can they be sure students learn what they need to learn/are supposed to learn?
