Ms. Cassidy's class was doing some really great things as first graders! It's unbelievable to think that there are first graders that are working on blogs and wikis I'm working on them for the first time in college. I can remember doing different things on computers in early years in school but, I was never working on a blog or skyping with people. The advances in technology and the direction they are heading are truly amazing.
Just think about how much the education system will be different in a few years. Maybe this will happen down here in Alabama for us. I know this was not around here and they use different technologies than our students but, nothing is impossible. I can only hope that they will start doing blogs as young as first grade! That will make teaching high school that much more interesting when they get to my class and they already have a lot of experience with these different tools.
I can't wait to become a teacher and use different things like this with my class. If i get a job back at the school I graduated at which I would like to do I will definitely be bringing something new to the table. They have a nice facility but they do not have a single smart board. There are a lot of old school teachers that teach there so it will be nice to bring something new to the table. I can't wait to use these tools that I have learned in this class.

I hope you use technologies that are in possession of the kids rather than teacher "owned' technologies such as smart boards.
ReplyDeleteYou may have to be part of a movement to create a demand for technologies in Alabama.
Hey Zack, I'm your C4C for this week. I too was able to use computers in elementary school for different things, but they looked something like this
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think it would be awesome to get Alabama up there on the education level as Florida! I went to school in Florida and their school systems are much more competitive than ours. Principles are literally hired, fired, and transferred annually based on students test scores, though, that's off subject a little bit. I didn't see many errors at all, so good writing. Hopefully your drive will continue and we will see a turn of events in the Alabama school systems soon
