Internet Resources

                                     
WOW! What great progress the internet has made for school teachers and students. The internet has so many tools for teachers to use for free or for a slight fee. There are so many things we can do on the internet. In the book that we currently read in class you can find very useful information about what educational tools the internet has to offer. I have some information, Internet Resources   on a few chapters that I found most useful to take on to my classroom.

I think it is important for teachers to use computers and technology because it can become very fun for the students and it gets them engaged. Its just a matter of time on teaching them how to access certain information and how to use the computers or iPads. Whether the students are reading on the computer or iPad or doing math problems they will still enjoy it. Students tend to like anything that gets away from paper and pencil. In my classroom we will not sit and lecture the whole day. It is my responsibility to get my student active and at the end of the day still learn something and go home ready to come to school the next day. Some teachers can make school very overwhelming for students. I think if we can create class blogs we can probably eliminate homework. It will be like homework because they will have to blog a post but since it is on the computer they won't seem to have a problem with it. They won't even notice that blogging will be considered Homework even though it is done at home.

Students should be able to express themselves and give their opinions about a topic. Blogging will allow this because there can never be a wrong answer. It is always what you think and if a student thinks blogging is not his thing then we will accommodate something else that he likes. It is all about the students interests. We need to teach to their abilities.
