Did You Know?
Did You Know brought to my attention the fact that everything is changing at an increasingly fast rate. We must keep ourselves educated to keep up. Technology is changing faster than we can imagine.
I do not want to be an educator who cannot keep up with the times, so what does this mean? Be in the know! Know what is going on in the world of technology and how to use it. Never stop learning. Keep yourself educated!

Mr.Winkle Wakes:
Students should be taught to use various methods of technology. If we do not change the way we educate our children, they will be left in the dust. Technology is all around us and in use everywhere we go.
How will our students survive in a world full of technology if we do not change our methods? They won't. Before long, technology will be used to do everything. We definitely need more technology in our schools.

The Importance of Creativity:

This was an awesome speech. Creativity is very important. We should use and encourage creativity in our classrooms. Without creativity, children are bored.
The Arts are very important to Education, but they are pushed aside. As teachers, it will be our job to incorporate the Arts into our classroom. We cannot leave anyone behind.

Cecilia Gault interviews Ken Robinson:
We should use all aspects of education to teach our students. Arts, Sciences, and Technology are all important to education. We should incorporate all of these into our lessons.

Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts:
This video is amazing. The way she brings the world into the classroom is awesome. It really goes along with what we are doing in EDM 310. I would love to have all this technology in my future classroom.
She brings awareness of the importance of technology to the classroom. Also, learning by doing. Making students brainstorm and research using technology to solve problems is much better than giving them all the answers. When you give it to them, it is not learned.
