    I though this website was way cool! It introduces people who want video pen pals all over the world, ready to share their experiences! As a Spanish teacher, I want to give my students opportunities to speak with native speakers, but the site is not specifically for language learners. You can set up an exchange with students from Australia, England, or anywhere else you might want!

    This article provides another view on the cost effectiveness and the uselfulness that the iPad provides in all classrooms, especially for autistic students. It describes a pilot research study that proved to support integrating the iPad into special education curriculums because of the wide range of uses and tools it provides. One of the main points the researcher argued is that the iPad has multiple uses and can replace the many devices that are apparent in special education programs.

    This article is probably one of my favorites. It shows how children's interactions and care for another person can greatly impact their aggression levels. The response of caring for someone else overcomes the want to hurt another.

    This website contains all the information that is provided for a no-cost public school funded system where families can have curriculum appropriate materials ("even bags of rocks and dirt") delivered to their front door and complete graded Kindergarten through the 12th grade virtually from home. They claim these virtual students will spend about 20-25% of their time working on the computer, while high school students in this program can plan to spend about three hours each day on the computer. This site offers free examples of lesson plans, and lots of information on how this system works.

    This pdf shows a more specific study done on effect of video games and aggression. It also shows that it not only increases aggressive behavior but also aggressive thoughts. School violence is becoming a problem so it is important to understand things such as video games impact on children's aggression because it can help us better prevent classroom violence.

    This study was done at a high school and the evidence showed that doing group activities, discussions, etc. on a SMART Board is an effective tool. Although this was conducted at a high school, the evidence may correlate to all age groups in activities where the entire class works as a whole.

  • When a student can be so engaged and motivated, this type of learning tool becomes an important part of the curriculum. Clegg (1991) pointed out the most important predictor of learning is the instructional context and not necessarily the actual game, but the collaborative and cooperative learning built into the overall experience, offering an engaging environment for information assimilation.
  • Games create competitive and collaborative situations making learning fun and engaging; meeting the many needs of the students (Weiss & Loebbeck, 2008). During the early grades, teachers spend up to eight hours with their students each day; they could utilize the interactive and social aspects in games in order to realize additional learning in the classroom and use it to support other subjects (Klopfer, Osterweil, & Salen, 2009).

How pets benefit child development - 1 views

  • Physical
  • Walking a dog or running in the yard and throwing a ball are great ways to exercise the dog as well as for children to get away from sedentary indoor activities and move around. Small motor skills can be encouraged by allowing children to scoop food and pour water into dishes, and by helping to groom them
  • Social
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Children are more prone to approach and interact with another child who is playing with a pet. In this way, a pet can be the bridge between a less socially outgoing child and other potential playmates.
  • Emotional
  • Pets can facilitate various aspects of emotional development such as self-esteem and a sense of responsibility.
  • Cognitive
  • Encouraging children to read about their favorite pet or to take part in obedience classes with a parent and the pet can all encourage a child's cognitive development as it sparks the desire for learning. Bringing the child along to a veterinarian appointment will give him a chance to ask questions about proper care and his pet's health.
  • Pets as therapy
  • Because of the special bond that often develops between pet and child, pets can sometimes fill the role of comforter. Since the relationship is non-judgmental from the pet's perspective, a hurting child might be more willing to initially trust a pet than a person
