Kids are amazing:)

Each week since I started school, I sit with my son at night and we sometimes do our homework together.  And if we are not doing homework together he comes to watch me do mine...  Its real nice.  Sometimes I will explain to him what I'm doing and that i'm having a hard time.  He will say well why don't you tell me and maybe I can help...I'm thinking, ya right, this is University.  Well, a few times I took my chances and amazinly enough,  he did have some very great ideas that I did work into my assignments, He is only 12years old, but they seem to know so much more than what we do... They are so much more avanced and have a better understanding of technology and different things because of the way they are being taught.  They are so much more creative and not so afraid to make mistakes.  Hats off to these amazing kids.

Technology, technology, technology

Wow!!  I've learned so much in so little time.  I really think technology is going to make teaching much easier and so much fun for both me and the students.  Technology makes differentiated instruction easy, with the use of powerpoint and digital storytelling which we just learned about... I love it.  What a way to capture the attention of students.  I cant wait to use these tools to teach.

Technology is so amazing.   Kids today, don't realize how lucky they really are, to have all the information they could ever imagine, right at their finger tips...  All these classes that I am taking now to complete my degree, can be done right at home... even the class itself.  Any research that is needed for papers is all right on my laptop.  Years ago, when I was at UNB we went to the library and did our research in books...  Education did benefit from technology, but other aspects of the work world have been hit hard and technology has created an economic downfall, an example being retail, how it is so easy to buy online now.
