First Graders in Ms. Cassidy Class
In watching Ms.Cassidy's short video on her first grade class using technology it gave me a litte assurance that children of all ages can utilize and navigate the web safely. The children in Ms. Cassidy's class were 6 years old. They were able to use and savy enough to explain how to use the equipment they were using. This would be great in any classroom setting. Whether you're a physical education teacher or a math teacher the technology that is being introduced in the early stages of development are critical. Learning as well as learning safety on the web is important to know. This sets the chldren up for a sucess in the ever loving world of technolgy. With all this technoogy children can and will get into trouble.
As mentioned in the second video, the skype session, children will have to have limits set and will require the occasional reminder on staying on task. A question was brought up on basical issues the might arise do to plagirism. This is were teachers will need to be more creative. I think screening the post before it is submitted would work and having other students screen the post as well. The other issue I see if work is online students still need classroom time to interact with other students. This was a great video and I got alot of great ideas from Ms. Cassidy.
"...children will have to have limits set and will require the occasional reminder on staying on task. A question was brought up on basical issues the might arise do to plagirism. This is were teachers will need..." about staying, not on staying; basic, not basical; due not do; where, not were

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI, also, was pleased to know that students so young can make excellent use of technology in the classroom. In a world that is always changing and advancing, classrooms need to be set up so students can learn as much as possible. We are fortunate enough to have access to some pretty cool technology so why not use it? Interesting post. Good job!
