Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts.

This video was good I think that it is so important to have technology in the class rooms. It just opens the students minds so much. The teacher showing them how to blog in high school that's really cool. I can honestly say that I didn't know how to blog until I got to college. Most of my computer learning was done in college. I would have loved to gone to a different part of the world in high school.

The clip talked about that the teacher was using all kinds of technology everything she could get her hands on for her class room. That the teacher had traveled and talked to other teachers and brainstormed new ideas that they could come up with to help students learn better in the class room. It is amazing to me that we can do so much like blogging with other students half way around the world to having video cameras on our computers talking with people half way around the world. To 3D video on a computer or to making a website.


I would have never believed that we would have so many tools. That we can use in a class room its amazing. Like the computer or even a web cam that you can talk to some one miles even another country away. The possibilities are endless. It just makes you stop ,and think what else are they going to come out with next.


It just goes to show that everyday new ,and better ways to teach ,and bring new things to the class room. With technology their can never be a dull moment. Because every where you look their is technology. It will be very interesting to see what they come out with next to help teacher's teach students.

  1. This class is teaching me how to blog. It's a lot of work for me because I am going to school full time, working full time, and I am a full time mother but it is really teaching to think. Over the summer I learn how to call my uncle using the internet. He has been to Iraq twice and is now station in Germany. Its expense for him to call home but through the net we talk almost every night.

  2. I agree that this opens up the student's mind and showing them how to blog. I never knew how to blog until college either.
