After watching the three videos about Ms. Cassidy I began to
think.. this lady must really love technology. She used just about every piece
of technology she could get her hands including the Nintendo DS. I think this
was a really great idea especially in terms of the students learning at the
same time. I also really loved the idea
of secure web browsing. My biggest concern with the use of technology in the
classroom would be kids abusing the privilege or using it for other purposes
rather then learning. Even today for example here at USA , a professor of mine
banned the use of technology in her class simply because students would surf
twitter, buy clothes, use chat websites during class in stead of using it to
learn/take notes. I guess with a group of elementary kids you don't have much
to worry about besides playing video games during lecture. I think that using
the techniques Ms. Cassidy use for her classroom would be a great way to get the
students more involved.
Randy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the passion Ms. Cassidy has for technology as well! I think that if we had more teachers like her, and more teachers willing to change with the times, our education would be the highest in the world. Nice post!
Brief post.
