In the video, Little Kids Big Potential the kids were very engaged in their classroom technologies. The kids are so tiny but seem to be experts with their use of the computers and smart boards. The Skype interview between Dr. Strange and Mrs. Cassidy was very informative. Mrs. Cassidy seems to be a very dedicated and passionate teacher. She teaches first grade and they really enjoy the time they get to spend writing on their blogs and engaging in technology in her class. She is doing an amazing job by introducing her students to the many different sources associated with technology.The students are able to practice their writing skills through writing. This gives each student the opportunity to express their opinions, talk about what they learn and give their classmates feedback as well. The blogs in Mrs. Cassidy's class not only benefits the students, but the parents and guardians as well. They are able the monitor what their child is learning and they also can learn new things from other educators who leave comments on the blogs as well. Having access to the blog will keep the parents engaged and connected in the classroom and also keep them in the ever changing trend of technology/learning. As a future educator I will keep a class blog along with a weekly class newsletter.

Hello Ms. Rudolph,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading you blog post. I liked watching the video that Mrs. Cassidy put together of the kids working hard and demonstrating how to use the various technology. The only thing that I see a problem with is, if the students that learned how to use all of this technology, but do not use it in other classroom as they get older. They will forget everything they have learned. Also I like what you said about "Having access to the blog will keep the parents engaged and connected in the classroom and also keep them in the ever changing trend of technology/learning." That was put together nicely. Since you are becoming an educator, I wish the best of luck for you in the future.
One of our goals is to get you to be a blogging teacher!
