I know a few of my teachers would have us interview a person for some assignment or another. Well, sometimes it's not so easy as that in this fast paced world. Between the student's homework and extracurricular activities and the person they intend to interview's work schedule and schedule of their children, it's hard to find a time to sit and talk. So, why not use Facebook or Twitter? Each person can take a few seconds to read a question or two and answer it during lunch, or while brushing their teeth.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576131057799740012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268412513795350095.post-75495178992818950672011-02-05T16:28:19.676-06:002011-02-05T16:28:19.676-06:00Anthony Capps reported today that at least half of...Anthony Capps reported today that at least half of the fourth graders in his class at St. Elmo's are FaceBook users.

I am still a little unsure about it. Probably because it wasn't allowed when I was in school, but when used correctly it could be a good asset to the classroom. More teachers and education supervisors should consider this. It is one of the strongest means by which to communicate with children these days.Christina A Dunnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775250642903605575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268412513795350095.post-57332756397857640052011-02-02T16:15:15.868-06:002011-02-02T16:15:15.868-06:00I'm right there with you.

Of course, preparing students for technology could also be a perfect time for teachers to find new ways to teach and even learn about technology themselves. There's no need for it to be one or the other or for them to occur separately.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576131057799740012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268412513795350095.post-58055579298457294642011-02-02T13:20:30.756-06:002011-02-02T13:20:30.756-06:00I'm now a very big Ken Robinson fan. It's...I'm now a very big Ken Robinson fan. It's refreshing to hear "common sense" from time to time. I'm having a hard time finding where the balance should be, between "preparing students for technology" vs. "preparing teachers to teach in a radically new way".<br /><br />Those two seem to be the overall messages that I'm getting at the College of Education. Maybe there doesn't need to be a balance at all - maybe teachers should be proficient in both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
