Chapter 9 presentation- parents who play video games with their children should be spending time with them doing other things. Video games are not the best option or activity to promote within the household and time spent doing this should be used for more educational activities.
What careers have been changed with technology?
- Pilots, Teachers, Doctors, Waitress, Architects, Mediorologist, Military
Goals of Education: social cohesion, lifelong learners, etc
Chapter 10 Presentation- teachers need to motivate students in their classroom to want to learn. Teachers should motivate students in subjects that they are not as interested in by figuring out ways to integrate subjects into activities and make connections for them in these topics. The local governments are in charge of the school systems. The federal government could help equalize the balance of the education system.
All of the cool tools were websites that I had never been to before. These include: Flickr, googlelit, drawanywhere, and gabbly. I learned something new from all of these sites but I am not sure that I would use all of them in the classroom. It was interesting listening to all of the contemporary issues presentations as well and learning about issues that I would have never thought of. Technology is interesting because of all the issues it brings up. Teachers and parents need to be careful when using it around students and children.
*Last class.. I enjoyed the semester!
