While I think computers are extremely useful, and I absolutely love using them, I cannot allow them to replace my writing and books. The use of computers definitely makes collaborating and sharing much easier. I also think that as students who have been forced to use computers we can catch on with technology faster. I also believe that are students will be far more advanced than we are, and we must be ready to teach them.<br /><br />I'm also glad that you enjoyed the videos I made. I strongly believe that we learn more by actually doing it ourselves and figuring things out on our own. I love the idea of collaborating with others and by helping others, we actually learn more. We should also be willing to ask questions and learn more and more.Jamie Lynn Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566681587302179124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4670668446094198074.post-33450387962973888272010-10-18T22:04:36.203-05:002010-10-18T22:04:36.203-05:00This is really a good post.

I also agree that smartboards should be used in the classroom. The class I am observing, the teacher uses her smartboard. The kids absolutely love it. It keeps them involved in the lecture and they do not get bored.Ali Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732022898410647364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4670668446094198074.post-56429634432993091202010-10-18T10:13:40.656-05:002010-10-18T10:13:40.656-05:00In response to your summary of the smart board pos...In response to your summary of the smart board posts, I agree that smart boards are not a great tech tool. What can be done on a IWB (smart board) that can't be done without one? <br /><br />A real problem with using IWB's in upper grade levels (say 3 grade and up) is the fact that the board lends itself to the teacher doing more direct instruction. I hope that you are realizing by now that many educators, including me, see direct instruction as much less valuable to learning that student discovery.Wm Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692221214846665588noreply@blogger.com
