I found the Mr. Dancealot had more than one central message. They were engage your students and let them practice. You cant teach something new to class that needs to be practiced and not let them even get out of their seats. Mr. Dancealot was a terrible teacher. Students were trying to understand the dances he was showing them. They were scolded as soon as they done an activity to try to learn. I do not agree with his way of teaching.
Teaching in the 21st century has definably changed. A good teacher should rethink the traditional way of teaching. We should use the best way for students to learn. Studies have shown that technology has improved the quality of learning for children. It all starts with the teacher and how they show the children the right way to use technology.
Below is an outline for the argument about technology.
I. What teaching means
A. Provide materials
1. Content, Facts, Dates, Formulas, Research, Theories, Stories, and Information
II. Role in student's life
A.Finding information
1. Anything, Anytime, Anywhere
a. Blogs, Facebook, Cell phones, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yputube, iPods, and Google
2. Limitless information
III. Teachers are no longer the main source of info, we are the filter
IV. Teaching students to use resources correctly
A. Show them
1. Validate information, synthesize information, leverage information, communicate information, collaborate with information, and problem solve with information
V. Facts or skills
A. Skills are what you have to make decisions
B. Creating (using) your skills
1. Blogging, pod-casting, animating, planning, recording, designing, programming, and skills taught
C. Blooms Taxonomy
VI. Where children learn
A. Friends
B. Teachers
VII. Ask kids how we use social media. Make sure they know how to use social media.
VIII.Collaborate class and internet

C. Engaging
XI. Introduction to technology
A. See what's out there
B. Start small
C. Collaborate
D. You must take risks!
I feel good about the way that teaching is changing, in words of technology. Teachers need to use the things that keep children engaged. Technology will effect me as an educator in many ways. I will use it to it will make learning more enjoyable and easier to learn.
Networking students need a teacher because they teach them how to build a network and show them how to take advantage of learning opportunities. they give them guidance, show them how to communicate properly, how them how to ask for help respectfully, how to tell between good and bad information, vet sources, and show them how to find exactly what they need on the web. In the teachers heart he or she truly hopes that these connections will last a lifetime.
The thesis for Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts is to be thinkers, use resources, learn from your student and let them teach you sometimes, and empower to share. I thought the idea shared was valid, but i could see a problem. What if the school you work for is in a rural community and they do not have the funds? Will these students be considered behind?
I believe elementary students are ahead in the learning race, compared to Dr. Strange's undergraduates and graduates.
I believe flipping the classroom is a good idea. The students will have more time to ask questions in class. They will have more time to go over material, rather than feeling left behind because they did not want to say anything because they would be embarrassed. It would give more one on one time between teachers and students to ask questions personally.
I can used the facts that first you need to identify the problem, then make a strategy, and ask questions to understand. It is an inauthentic way of learning. People become more involved with each other instead of just listening to the teacher go on and on.

Well Sydney, I must say that I agree with your main points as technology is an invaluable resource in terms of teaching. With that said I must point out a few grammatical errors in your blog post.
ReplyDelete"I feel good about the way is changing, in words of technology." I would replace "words" with "the terms" making it "in the terms of technology."
"Technology will effect me as an educator in many ways." The word effect should affect in this instance.
"I will use it to it will make learning more enjoyable and easier to learn." The "it will" can be eliminated from the sentence and the learn in "easier to learn" could be replaced with a synonym such as grasp.
"Networking students need a teacher because they teach them how to build a network and show them how to take advantage of learning opportunities." The "because they" can be eliminated and replaced with "to" and "teach them" could be changed to "instruct them" in order to enhance the richness of vocabulary.
"they give them guidance, show them how to communicate properly, how them how to ask for help respectfully, how to tell between good and bad information, vet sources, and show them how to find exactly what they need on the web." The "they" should be capitalized as it is the first word in the sentence. In "how them how" the first how should be taken away.
Now as a rule when offering suggestions on grammar, I do not review the whole material unless asked. I believe that there is something to be said about self review as it is how one reinforces the rules of grammar. Also, I noticed that many of your sentences are a tad wordy where you could be more concise for example both the first and second paragraphs seemed redundant in places.
Good post! Just be sure to proof read your posts before publishing.
