Next Generation Learning

The school in the short film seems like a dream, but then you wake up. The school pictured is idea for learning and also teaching. That would be wonderful to have so much interaction that the students never get bored and are happy to come to school and participate every day. The reality is that you needed a lot of determination and money. I am sure schools like that really exist in the world, but do they exist here in Alabama. The current budget does not even allow enough teachers for all the students we have let alone a computer for each student and a Nintendo WII game system in the school. I dare not give up hope that that type of learning environment is possible but I am realistic in knowing that it will take awhile for us to get there.
Does that type of learning work, I believe it does. Children enjoy being able to touch and interact with computers and games for learning, We have all seen children in front of a video game and wonder how the stay so transfixed on screen for hours. The answer is when it is something they enjoy they do not mind giving their all. Not only would that type school please the student but the teacher who gets to work with updated state of the art equipment. If we can pull enough support from parents and teachers to get the job done anything is possible

I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
