technology



I think that there is an age that is to young for technology. This is because I already see it now. Most people go to the library and get on computers. most of thoes kids I haven't seen pick up a book. Technology is getting very sophisticated that it in being intergrated into everything and while this is not nessassarily a bad thing it also isn't a good thing because the more the technology advances the more dependent people become on it. Sometimes people become dependent on technology without even realizing it. for example social networking is very popular. If one day twitter and facebook shut down I think quite a few people would go crazy .
 The illustation is pretty silly but it gets the message that people are getting into technology earlier and earlier in fact my friend told me just the other day that his cousin made a facebook for her unborn child and that is just plain ridiculous.

Constuctivism


Constructivism is the idea that students learn easier the more that hands-on and interactive componets incororated into the lessons.




  Most of my experiences in school were not like this except for the few times that the class was well behaved and we got to do science experiments. In the future as  a teacher I hope to be able to implement some the the constructivist methods. However, I don't think that this method is the best and only way to teach. People learn various ways and to accmodate that a techer must teach using various techniques and items be it the smartboard, the whiteboard or the good old fashion chalkboard.

blog



I have never read a blog before nor have I ever wrote a blog so this is a new experience for me. But even though it is a new experience it does not feel that odd because I do enjoy writing and I just found a site that I would be able to put some of the stories that I want to write up. This site is made specifically for a cetain type of story so people who like what I like will be the ones that read it. The other good thing is that the site allows people to post reviews and comments about the story. So in effect it is sort of similair to the basic idea of a blog. There are a lot of blogs out there about anything and everthing imagineable because people all over the world have opinions about everything.
