   Technology and Education 


Technology is great to use with students as long is not taking the whole curriculum, so bits and

pieces of it can be very resourceful.  My child is a visual and kinetic learner.  I also think that

many students are visual and can definitely benefit when teachers use movement to teach concepts. 

When I am explaining concepts or reading to my son, I like to reference back on google images.

Therefore, he knows what I am talking about . I did not have google or youtube as a child, and being

able to use these tools for teaching, is amazing. Moreover, I like to read him stories and I like adding

music to it.  When I help him with homework, I also like being funny and I play with him to make it

fun and not boring.  One of the things that I can find damaging to students, is word processor or

google docs. It automatically corrects spelling errors and therefore, students are not trying to

memorize writing.  Students and adults are not only becoming lazy to memorize but it also

hinders memory skills.  Moreover, tablets and computers are taking the place of books and for

students to be on screen too long, is scary. There can be long term consequences to health and vision.

It is less expensive to have books online but health concerns should be taken into consideration.

I think having some kind of positive experience notebook is a great way of creating positive experiences everyday. In order to look at life in positive ways, one should remember even the smallest of positives through out the day because life is not all good or bad, there is always a gray area. Like the yin and the yang . When life seems all dark, there is always something positive in it and when there is all positivity, there is always something negative. I really liked on of the activities that Ms. Paczkowski, the special education teacher, posted for her students on twitter.  She had her students write the name of another student or pick the name of another student and write why they are such an awesome person . Hopefully, the teacher gives them a name and not that they have to pick a person because this can skip students. Nice way to create positive feelings and positive experiences for the day and self-esteem.

My We Video

         My We Video  I really enjoyed making the We Video for my Tec Class. I learned a lot about technology and I hope that the schools I work to implement this type of style. I will also keep in touch with tec and explore different education avenues for students. I think knowledgeability in tec is extremely important as this is our new world. Making my video took a while but I got in touch with my creativity. I would leave it alone come back and think about what else to implement, how I was going to make my message stand out the most and look attractive. I had my son involved and he had a  taste of what an actor goes through. At first, he was acting normal when I asked to make a video clip but the moment I had said that I was putting it on youtube, he started to laugh with every take. I had to really act like a director and had many, many takes. I think this project was the most enjoyable throughout my whole schooling. At the moment I have a smile on my face. :)) I always wan

My Learning Style

Visuals  I have at least four learning styles, I learn visually, auditory, hands-on and I am introverted.  I like  to read materials over if I don't comprehend them, and I will also look at videos that help me learn. There are times that I have to look at different videos to understand content and it is satisfying when I find the right professor who explains materials in an understandable way. The content on  the video, the way the instructor explains, and whether the student captures content, varies individually. When visuals are not enough, I have to do it or practice it by hand.  For example, in one of my anatomy classes, The pictures on the book on skin cells,  and different types of tissues were not clear enough,  I had to see it through a real microscope. I also had asked the professor what  I was looking at?  The cells were different and I wanted to know the difference between them and how to distinguish the nucleus in each of the cells.  I can also
