Part 1
I learned that there a more than one way to comment on someones blogs. There are specific rules to follow in order to be a successful commenter. The number one rule that all three of the videos said was to make suggestions. The whole point in commenting is to help the blogger get better. If you don't make suggestions, they will never make progress. You should always make sure you add compliments too so you don't seem rude. You really want to be helpful so you must tell them what you really think and there are right ways and wrong ways to do that. Editing a peers work can and should be fun. Make sure you are polite in your wording and not like the mean girl in the video that pretty much told the other girl that her writing sucked. You must always care about what you're doing in order to help another person. Part 2
(A) Technology hasn't just affected the way that the world works but it has also made learning easier for students that are less fortunate. This video was awesome because I was able to see how people that can't really communicate like everyone else learn. The students in the special education class in the video weren't really able to communicate with just paper. The computer was put in front of them and they could spell and say exactly what they were thinking. Chris in Technology In Special Education had a hard time communicating with his teacher until the computer was there to help. Sherae was another student that couldn't really just say what she wanted. This video really made me appreciate technology a lot more. I liked it before but now I see it is a lot more helpful that just being there to watch tv or listen to music. Sherae was a very intelligent girl that was able to show it whenever the key pad was put in front of her. This video taught me new things that I never realized before. (B) I could use the math bingo app that i found on Apple.Education.Apps.Com to help a child with special needs learn more easily. The game is a fun way to learn while counting and looking at pictures. It could help the students try to win the game while also learning to add and subtract. Students don't even realize they are gaining well needed knowledge while playing on a phone/computer.
This video did another great job of showing the many ways that technology is educating our young students today. It's educating everyone really. The main theme in the teacher's classroom was learning how to learn. The digital world that the kids were creating was teaching them new ways to see the world and how to create new things with their own creativity. Blogging is a lot more useful than I realized before this video. It is a way to communicate with people that you would have never communicated with otherwise. Students and teachers can share ideas on each other's blogs. All people can learn from blogging and other forms of communication, not just students in a classroom being taught by a teacher. Students sharing ideas with each other is a lot more affective than just listening to a teacher lecture for hours.
Kayla, I definitely agree about listening to a lecture over interacting with other students! It has always been easier to work with other students and learn hands on for me, rather than sitting and listening to lectures that are hours long. I loved reading what you had to say about each video! I encourage you to remember that we are supposed to put the title of each video in the blog somewhere so that the reader knows what it is that you watched! Also, a few areas that needed breaks did not have them, so I would keep that in mind when you edit your own blogs. Overall, I thought you covered everything thoroughly! Great job, Kayla!
ReplyDeleteKayla,
ReplyDeleteYou started out great, but ended with a paragraph of vague. Not once did you mention Vicki Davis and what she's doing in the "video" with her students. And while you do have a working Title modifier for you image (good job, by the way, not a lot of students do), you don't have the source as the Title. You should put the url to the website where you found this image in the Title area, not the description. I found a few spelling and grammar errors, but nothing too egregious. Just be sure to proofread what you write before and after you hit Publish. Reading your posts out loud is also a very effective method of catching those pesky mistakes that just seem to slip by you.
