I really love the idea Travis has come up with. My alma mater will start using Mac computer in the 2013-2014 school years; and I think that is one on the best decisions they have made so far. This is a great movement and I just hope that all schools will enforce the idea.
Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir the video itself is very powerful. In this video he has people all across the world that never met one another but are performing like they have been together and practicing for months. The performance was well put together through via Internet and I think that is so cool. Technology is something wonderful. I am truly impressed. Anything is possible to accomplish no matter how far away someone is.
Teaching In The 21st Century In the video Teaching in the 21st Century its basically saying that children can receive whatever information whenever they want without the help of the teacher. As technology grows, society notices how teacher are no longer the main source of education. As teachers, we should help discipline the children on how to use the internet and to know the difference in-between entrainment and engagement. We need to prepare ourselves the best way we can on becoming the future teachers of America. With technology pushing its way more and more into the school the traditional teaching will slowly fade away.
Why I Flipped My Classroom
Flipping the Classroom 4th Grade STEM
Flipping the classroom is a great idea. It helps prepare the students for the upcoming work the next day. In classrooms it will be more teaching the work and answering any questions rather than lecturing the class and not having enough time to actual answer student questions. The questions I have are; What if a student does not watch the video? What if you have 50% of the class that has not watched the video? Will you have to start over or maybe even give them that option to watch the video in class? Just something to think about. Overall I think it’s an awesome idea.

ReplyDelete"...society notices how teacher are no longer..." teachers, not teacher
"...I have are; What if a student..." : instead of ; That same question can be asked about everything. One of the videos suggests an answer: have them watch it during class time but out of class. They miss the application, but get the lesson. I am not sure I agree. But i ask the same question every week: What about the 15% or 20% of students in EDM310 who do not do their work? In EDM310 they fail!
Thoughtful. Interesting.
Hi Shanee. I really enjoyed reading your blog. I think that flipping the classroom is a great idea as well. There are a couple of comma errors I saw, but your links to the videos are not appearing. Also the title to the picture is not there as well, when you put that in make sure that the word "title" is all CAPS with an = at the end. I made that mistake with my blog post #5. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Shanee,
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your blog post because it was well written, but it was also to the point, no fluff. I sometimes have a problem with that. I must say we have some of the same view points. I, too, agree that flipping the classroom would be wonderful! I had a teacher in high school who had a "semi-flipped" classroom. The videos were not required but were very helpful if you did watch them. I think there were a couple semicolon and colon errors, but nothing major. Nice job!
Hey Shanee,
ReplyDeleteI thought that your blog post was well written and thought out. You made some great points and it seems as though we agree on a lot of the same things. However, I do think that teachers still are and will always be the main source of education. Now matter how much technology advances in society, it will never be able to replace teachers. Teachers are not just teachers, they are role models.
While reading your post, I did find a few grammatical errors. Make sure you are proof reading your work before you post it. Also, make sure to include links and the source for your pictures in your posts as well. Other than that, keep up the good work!!
