The way this teacher has started teaching his class is much like our EDM310 class. He is teaching his students about blogging and internet tools. However, he seem fustrated at the fact that many tools need are not at their disposal while in school and says that most of their work is done at home. Which means he has to do his best to teach what they need to do at home in order for them to complete their online work. To his surprise many of them where keeping up with their assignments. He has also encouraged their parents to join in and view and comment on their blog post. Actually this is exactly like our EDM 310 class except we are adult and they are children. This post just goes to us that we really do need to be technologically enhanced as much as possible in order to be a successful teacher.
Last Child On The Web: Week 2
This post was about EDM 310. He created a photo essay of his 3year daughter Kaia and was shocked when he saw all the respones from our classes about it. He believes there's really no difference in "real" life and "virtual" life. He says, " We are all simply living our lives hoping to share then in whatever meaningful ways we can." Our class has made quite a impression on this father and teacher along with his 3-year old daughter Kaia we've learned so much about just through his photo essay and blog post. The web is an amazing tool.
Nautre Of War: Week 3
The Intrepid Teacher is teaching their class about 20th century warfare and conflict, but instead of teaching them and expecting them to remember people, places or dates he has decided to teach and talk about the the actual nature of warfare. I am shocked that a teacher would go through this many steps to teach their students about history, because I never had a teacher do this. History was always my worse subject next to math because I never could remember places and dates. Between the activities and assignments he gave it would be hard not to remember. He allowed them to work in groups and to print pictures that related to the subject matter of that lecture. After that was done he gave disscussion time in class which allowed for many questions and explanations. This has given me several ideas to use as a future educator. Thanks
