In the article that we had to do I liked the part on page 9 were it talked how teachers need to challenge their students more, because technology is becoming so advanced the need to implement it needs to be appropriate. In the same section it also talked about how a teacher cant give extra points to a student who uses PowerPoint and dock down points for a hand made visual. I would have to say that I agree because sometimes the resources, in this case, a computer are not always available. In my opinion teachers should only require students to use such technology if the time and resources are provided for them.
On page 9 it also talked of how technology has made it fast, by getting rid of the pencil, writing becomes faster, and it makes revision faster,
Reading the quotes from the kids about this technology makes me remember that growing up the I too used some of these programs, at the time they seemed really cool but now looking back and comparing it with the technology that is out there, it was rather primitive.
This week something that I learned was the rubric maker on Rubistar. This is one of the most useful things I have found. To know that there are rubrics for certain things already made for you is great. It can only make life a little bit easier. Another important thing I learned in this week’s class was about the Internet. I did not know that https:// was a secure website, knowing this makes me relaxed when I’m on the Internet and especially when doing transactions.
