Non-Computer Tech Use in Classroom

Blog Post #11 -


Movies and television are a non-computer-based technology. The most interesting part about movies is that they can be used for every and any subject and are very important for children to learn the correct things in the world today such as: politics, nature, technology, weather,and everything that someone needs to stay on top of the world on a daily basis. Movies and Telvision will always be important in todays society and will always be a need. People always need to know current information as well as history so we know how to change the future.

I really enjoyed most of the presentations that the class presented to us. Some of the things that I am concerned with are just trying to being able to utilize all of the technology in the classroom. Another thing that I am worried about is forgetting to realize that almost everything is a certain type of technology. I will enjoy learning how to use all of the programs just like the children will be. I will also enjoy watching the faces of the children when they learn how to use the technology that I provide in the classroom for them.

This is a article that talks about how blogging is the new craze and that many classrooms are starting to use it. They are being used as bulletin boards and that is useful. I personally do not think that this is a beneficial way to use blogs. I really think that blogs are not that useful because I forget that I have one and so I guess if you are all about it, it would be cool, but most parents really do not know how to use that all that well, or atleast mine. So overall, I think its a good idea in theory but I do not think that my parent's age really understand or get why blogs are beneficial they would much rather recieve a paper copy of what is going on at the schools.
