LoTi --- NoTi

In so many of the classes that I have observed in, most of the Smart Boards and computers go untouched. I think that these teachers are intimidated by technology and by the digital knowledge of their own students. It is obvious that children today have been born into a digital world. I think it would beneficial for teachers to learn alongside the students and take advantage of their experiences in the classroom.

Teachers need to reach/teach this generation. These students will enter a competitive world, and their ability to be creative will be make them a resource and asset.

Literacy and Technology

I'm excited to see how this class will connect literacy and technology. There are so many tools to use and explore. Looking forward to another exciting online class with Dr. Smirnova.
