Elementary School Students Go 'Global' With Technology | Education News - 1 views

  •  
    With the help of modern technology, students at the Charlotte Jewish Day School are talking to and learning from kids all over the world. Elementary students in Charlotte are going "global" with a technology initiative that links them to students from around the world.

    This article talks about how elementary students are talking and learning with kids all a crossed the world! The students at the Charlotte Jewish Day School meet once a week with their teacher and they go through video and an online and ePal program! I have heard of schools doing this with high school students but never with elementary children! I think this is a great way for students to communicate with each other and what an awesome experience to talk to someone in another country! I bet they could/have learn a lot from each other!

      I thought this article was very interesting. There are some helpful hint to sharing technology with the students. The point that stood out for me was that we as educators need to give the children the tools they need to have good hands on experiences to enhance their learning.

    This article gives great insight into what can actually be accomplished in an elementary school setting. I thought this article was interesting and informative.

    I liked this article because it had cute ideas for integrating technology into early education. Its hard as an early childhood major to use technology cause you do not want to affect their development or make class more difficult, but i liked these ideas.

    I think as an Early Childhood Major it is hard to incorporate technology in the classroom not only because you don't want to affect their development but, I know that when I was in K-3 we went to a computer lab had completely different lessons that we did in a classroom. It related to the lessons but, it was taught by a different teacher.

    I really loved this article. Not only did it talk about technology for classrooms, but it gave real examples of how it was being used in schools. It is difficult sometimes to be creative but getting feedback and seeing how others are using it, can be extremely helpful! As I am on my way to earning my ECE degree, I look for these types of examples to start to get ideas for my own classroom and how I will work with students.

    I loved the example about the teacher who would comment on all of the students' blogs, and by the end of the year, the students could carry the discussions on their own. That just shows us as educators that students do have the ability to learn technology.

    This was very interesting. I found it a little funny when I saw the word relax but it is true that if you let students have the feeling that these valuable tools are theirs then they will take care of them. I feel for most children, who are taught to be careful with valuable things, this will be the case. Although, there are some kids who are never taught that nor taught respect for others things because they are just taught to be selfish. As a teacher this would be you job to show them that they need to care for valuable things and respect others property along with your own.

    I thought this article was very interesting. Students do have the ability to continue the use of technology with out the guidance of teachers, as this article points out.

    This is a great example of using computers and technology to create differentiated learning within one classroom.

    This is a wonderful article raising the concerns of using technology with children of such a young age (when it discusses kindergarten use pixie). I believe instruction with technology has drastically changed and is getting better for its actual purpose in the classroom. Other than something fun for the students to play with.

    As a special education major, this article really relates to daily activities I can experience in the classroom. Technology gives special education teachers an opportunity to watch students learn on their own at their own levels, rather than teaching at an intermediate level where all kids can learn.

    I so enjoyed reading this article about new ideas of learning with students. It is imperative that we, as future teachers, learn to engage students where they are at and also where they are going. It's incredible to think how fast computers and technology have changed our lives, however this fast-paced world of new gizmos and gadgets is the "norm" for our students. When the article talked about, "The school hardly seems like it would be ground zero for high-tech educational innovation. It occupies a clean but unremarkable building on a quiet wooded street near a seemingly endless series of strip malls. Many of the teachers, and almost the entire corps of key technology leaders, are older women -- not your stereotypical technology mavens. Yet these veteran educators are living proof that success lies not in the flashiness of the gizmos you have but in how well you use them." It will be critical that we keep up with the ever-changing types of technology so that we can best serve our students.

    You don't often find a group of 75 fifth graders from a public school in Virginia interacting directly with scientists based at Palmer Station, Antarctica, but that's exactly what takes place every year at Herman L. Horn Elementary in Vinton, VA.

Embracing Classroom Technology -- THE Journal - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is a great article because it is about a real life teacher utilizing technology in a real live classroom. So many articles are full of theories or opinions of people that are not in the classroom. It is nice to get a teachers perspective and how technology actually helped her.

    Marybeth, You may like the book Best Ideas for Teaching with technology (http://www.amazon.com/Ideas-Teaching-Technology-Justin-Reich/dp/tags-on-product/0765621320). It is a short, quick read, and focuses specifically on how real teachers are utilizing technology in the classroom. Kellie

    An Arizona elementary school is beefing up its technology toolbox with a new multimedia curriculum in an effort to engage students, teach 21st century skills, and, hopefully, help boost academic achievement. Valerie Gresser wasn't satisfied with the way her students were learning.
