The Networked
Student. Is a video that shows us that teachers are prime examples
of people who can really get the most of out having a networking program. It is
absolutely imperative that in today’s classrooms our teachers be 110 % up to
date in technology, so their students can become 110% technology literate.
There are many teachers out there who earned their certifications and degrees
many years ago, they did not grow up on technology like we all have, and
probably do not use it too often if they are not very familiar with it! If a
teacher does not understand technology, how can the students learn to or be
expected to utilize? Everything about our society links back to technology.
This is why we all must be up to spend on the latest and greatest methods. Networking
is so very important for teachers, a necessity truly. Because Networking makes
students and teachers and even parents lives easier. When teachers use Networking
apps with students it allows the students the opportunity for students and
teachers to have a closer relationship. Teachers can meet with parents as often
as needed using a networking medium. This promotes good parent teacher relationships
and that's good for the students. This opens many doors for the students’
educational sources. Networking is a fabulous source that can integrate the
arts and academics. This whole idea is so powerful, it allows people to
communicate and hear others ideas. These sources are a great way to keep
students and teachers current on ever- advancing classroom tactics.
The student
in the video is a 7th grader. I was very impressed with the student. I'm sure
this student was trained prior to using the Symbaloo application and not left
to figure it out on her own, however the fact that she was so great shows a lot
of hard work on her part. Her teacher has done an excellent job engaging her in
learning, and insuring that this student really got all she could out of the
Symbaloo APP. I hope to be able to use Symbaloo as well as she does by the end
of this class. I am just starting my PLN at this time and really have nothing to
compare to what she has done!
Annie,
ReplyDeleteYou need to remember to proof read your work before you post it. The flow of your sentences is really choppy, which I don't understand since you use a lot of run-ons. Also, when you are discussing the second portion of the post, you don't provide a link to the video about the PLE. You need to do that. And don't sell yourself or your PLN short! I'm sure you have a list of "favorite" websites or "bookmarks" to sites that you use most often. Those are all parts of your PLN. Symbaloo is very easy to use. I use it and it's extremely helpful.
