No, I did not know. Technology growth is new and exciting yet overwhelming and scary. How can we keep up? I feel our governement is having a difficult time keeping up with regulating the progression of the Internet and technology as a whole. For instance, how to regulate Internet purchases to include state and county taxes so our school systems have the proper fund
ing to keep up with our growing technological times.Mr. Winkle Wakes by Matthew Needleman
After 100 years Mr. Winkle still finds himself comfortable in school away from the technology and hustle and bustle of the outside. To me this is good and bad. Good in the way that schools are still a comfort zone for our students
yet not good due to education not progressing as rapid as the times. We need to give our schools a chance to catch up. Technology has exploded overnight. The schools need proper funding and guidance to catch up. As future educators we have a huge task in front of us to help in transforming the system.Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity
Sir Ken Robinson is a brilliant hoot!
Creativity is a necessity for children's mind, body and soul. Creativity is an outlet for a child to exert energy. Sir Robinson comments on a situation where the doctor of a child prescribes dancing instead of Ritalin for a hyperactive child before ADHD was created.
More of this needs to occur in today's society. I see when a child is given an outlet to express themselves creatively there grades improve. Here lately it all seems to be about the grade and not the total package. A well educated individual is thought to be a well rounded person which usually includes something of the arts.Vicki Davis: Harness Yours Students' Digital Smarts
Hats off to this educator. She has the opportunity, resources and desire to turn students into tech savvy individuals. I have only been to my EDM 310 class a handful of times and have already had my eyes opened to the many avenues you can take in your classroom with technology. Awesome stuff out there.
