  • technology provides greater access to information and new ways for students to learn, it can become a crutch hindering creative problem solving and cognitive development.

      Do you think technology is providing greater access to information but becoming a crutch hindering creative problem solving?
  • arguments in favor of technology in the classroom include: • Exposing children to technology at an early age prepares them for college and the workforce where knowledge of technology is essential for success.

    I'm the "host" of the discussion question for this week 14.

    Yes Albert, technology can work both ways and it has evolved so much that it's amazing what students can do now than what was possible just a few years ago.

      "The First Five Minutes" is a very good blog entry that will help you change the way you start class.
  • How do you start your class?
  • I found something very interesting after looking at my classes for about 6 weeks. The first five minutes set the tone for the entire class.

    Joshua, "The Nerdy Teacher" is an awesome blog where many ideas and things to think about are discussed. I really liked the most current blog posted titled, "The First Five Minutes". In this short blog, the educator makes a interesting discovery about allowing the first five minutes of class for students to "chat" and "catch-up", it helps with students getting ready to learn. This is so true, because we as adults do the same thing when we're getting ready to start a staff development meeting. We first "chat" for a little while and then we seem to ready to begin learning after that. As for another blog that would be great to add to the PLN, here is one I suggest: http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/blogs/index.html It has a more than 40 blog links of everything an educator may possibly want to know and comment about! Check it out for yourself!

A Day in the Life of a Connected Classroom | Edutopia - 4 views

  • Teaching the writing process, grammar, and mechanics can be boring for anyone, however when you allow students to use Facebook to discover these essential skills, the engagement factor increases.

      Wow, he found an awesome way to teach the writing process through the using Facebook.

    I found this article very interesting and it can be giving to first new teachers who have never used technology in the classroom. I liked how he printed the basic first page of the syllabus and then how he explained on useing the wiki for the complete syllabus, calendar, and other information relating to the class. This is a very good article to show how one teacher is incorporating technology in his classroom. Thank you for sharing Rene!

      EDTC 6343, The "Short A Easy" really makes the "A" easy to teach. I like how you can download the page in a word document and then print as many as you want. 
    • R. Palomares
       
      Check out all the other great resources provided here at the top! It's great!

    Tania, I must say that teaching phonics using this collection of word searches can be a lot of fun. It's not only educational but it is also very fun to do. I can see how students who are struggling with their reading skills can benefit from this. I really like the other resources at the top of the page. Especially the "Lesson Plans" tab resource. Thank you very much for hosting and sharing this great website!

    IMPORTANT!!!!! Phonics Word Searches Worksheets was shared by Tania Lopez Delgado and I just commented on it and I don't know why it says "Shared by R. Palomares about 6 hours ago". It was Tania who shared it she is the host. I shared "Free printable English worksheets, wordsearches, crosswords, board games, grammar works... " after seeing this awesome website that Tania hosted. I'm not a host this week so nobody has to comment on it but I thought it was good to share since it goes right in hand with what Tania hosted this week.
