We could insert tech in the exploring and explanding stages. I would put a webinar in the exploring stage that the kids could work though to learn the basic information. Than I would have them take one part of the webinar and gather more indepth information to share with the class.
Yes, with the laptop carts. I get them in to class and kids that used them last didn't logoff, or the kids can't remember their logon. What did I do , I logged onto as many computers that I could and my aid logged on to a couple and we made it work. I"ve also had the internet go down and had it go back to the old stand by of paper and pencil. I also believe he was right when talking about paperwork. Much of my SPED paperwork I could do much faster by hand than in the program we use.
student to student is a great way for them to not only explore and share but by sharing their information and ideas they remember more. It is also a way for each student to use his/her abilities best. However after more exploring I think the multimedia would really benefit my students. As far as prep time, to begin would require a great deal but it would be time well spent. The response the my student is hard to determine. If I can make it easy effort to use in the beginning than I thjnk they would really be motivated. The problem will be their frustration levels.
In the overall school I agree with what he is saying, but in my classes it is different. Most of my students don't have computers and if they do than they don't have internet. However I do think his learning through games would be a great way to learn,
