As you can see from my video, the traditional classroom needs to change. Teachers tend to think that technology should be taught in the computer or technology courses. I, on the other hand, feel that technology should be cross-curricular and also up to date. We no longer live be pen and paper, overhead projectors, or even email alone. The Web 2.0 tools that are available today allow for students to learn in an environment where people collaborate and share ideas and knowledge. When people share, learning is taking place from the person who is sharing and by the person who is receiving.
Aside from a small stint in the mental health field, I have spent most of my entire life in education. This blog is going to portray some of my experiences throughout this journey and hopefully give you entertainment as well as education as to some of the things I have experienced.
