Mr. Miller says that writing can be done in a creative way. And how there will be all different ways to to get information out there for people to see, and we have to be able to teach out students how to use these. Just as now-a-days anybody can make and edit a video, there is not really any need for a videographer, music producer or photographer. It seems like anyone can these days. I do not think what Mr. Miller is talking about would apply to elementary students but maybe for middle and high schoolers, definitely!
Carly Pugh
Carly I think feels the same way that Mr. Miller does about multimedia technology. I think that she did a good job on her post and I liked the video she added at the end. I think that it is pretty neat to make the playlist and video together to show different things about you and your teaching philosophies and you can then put them into a portfolio, but I probably would not put it into a video for an employer on the internet.
Chipper series and EDM for Dummies
Not sure what I am suppose to say about the Chipper video. I believe the point is to prove school is here to better us and the teachers are not her to teach you so you do not have to learn but to teach you how to teach yourself and to learn the importance of each subject. The EDM for dummies was funny and dramatic but so are all the "Dummie" books. If you just take some time and explore all these different social networks or new technology devices anybody can figure it out.
Learn to Change. Change to Learn
This world is always changing and technology is one of the main things that is changing and teachers need to be prepaid to teach and help their students with it. I think that teachers are relying to much on technology these days though. In my high school and even in college I have seen class canceled or the students told to do whatever they want because the teacher had only planned on a video or some sort of technology based project to take place and then either the internet went done or for some other random reason it didn't work. Teachers don't seem to be doing as much anymore. I do believe that this will keep happening and this technology trend will only progress so the only thing we can do about it is move on and keep on teaching it.
"Not sure what I am suppose to say ..." supposed, not suppose
ReplyDelete"...are not her to teach you so you do not have to learn..." here, not her
"...need to be prepaid to teach..." prepared, not prepaid
"...relying to much on technology..." too, not to
"...internet went done...." down, not done
The problem is not the technology but not having a backup plan.
Skims the surface.
I definitely agree with Mr. Miller about how writing could be performed in creative ways. It seems that many people are stuck in their own natural ways and are not willing to expand their minds to another level of thinking. As teachers, we should most definitely show our students that there's more than one way to think and use creative writing.
ReplyDeleteBailey,
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is so much advanced technology out there, that even our home-technology allows us to do things that once cost thousands of dollars. For example, recording a song in a sound studio, or making a video at a television station. These things can now be done by going to certain websites or using certain tools on our personal computers.
I also agree that as technology change, we too have to change. As future teachers, this is the only way we will be able to prepare our students for job markets of their time. I enjoyed reading your blog. Remember to proof-read. Proof-reading will help you catch simple errors; believe me, I know. Good job!
