I extremely proud of this young lady. The kids of today know more about technology than the older generation and that has got to change. This girl has accomplished something that I not yet beyond to begin. To know how to go to the internet and pull up whatever you need to find without any hesitation is amazing. This is a good example what have to do to keep up to speed with the world.

My sentence someday will be "she taught generation how to do math". My goal is to become a math teacher and I know I need to step up the pace a little to get to my destination. And I do feel that each day I get better and better. Now I can say I do have a little technology under my belt with more to come.

April 11- homework

Dr. Seuss "The Zax"
This is a great example of how the world is changing whether you join it or not. The world is not going to wait on you. Technology is evolving and it's up to you to keep up with the changes. You can stand still and not do anything but the world does not care, it's going forward. You can't be stubborn and refuse to learn, for if you don't learn you will be a monument in the middle of a growing world with no clue.

April 4 assignment

Dear Kaia
The comments from Mr. W. Chambelain's class and the voice thread was amazing. I'm proud to be a part to the experience Kaia's father is creating for her. Technology is astounding. Her father took her adventure and shared it with the world. I feel left behind due to the fact that middle schooler know more about technology than I do but I'm not upset about because I'm getting there. It really is amazing how they can talk to each from across the world.

March 28- Homework assignment

An Open letter to Educators by Morgan Bayda
She tells us how she sat in a university classroom and listened to an instructor lecture. There was no interaction between the students on the topics discussed. This to me would be very boring and as far as paying attention to what was said would be hopeless. Not be able to interact in the classroom is unproductive to the student. To paraphrase what my instructor Dr. Strange says, it that burp back is not a good teaching tool. When students are interested or excited about a class, it makes learning a lot more fun for the students.
The video of Dan Brown was short and to the point. He states that he dropped out of school because his schooling was interfering with his education. When you have been exposed to only the same teaching method learning to adapt and change with the times takes some time. The younger generation was born into all the technology that is around them now but for the older generation they have got to adapt to. It is not impossible but it make take a while for some.
