                                             Little Kids...Big Potential

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.
