Networked students
I always wondered what would happen to teacher and their role in education when technology intermingles with education and this video helped me understand. I understand that the teacher is the one who helps students build on their computer skills and learning ability. Teacher give students guidance when they are stuck. They also show their students how to research good information and helps them in learning the difference between a good source and a bad one. This really helped me understand my role when I become a teacher in the technology world.
Teachers help students understand why you use technology and how it helps them. They also help them through problems they have and learn the communication world in technology. Also, teachers allow students to understand how important communication is and how social networking is key to staying connected to people. This video clearly expressed the need for teachers in technological classrooms today.
PLE vs PLN
My PLN is completely different from the girls PLE in the video, Welcome to MY PLE!. For one, I have widgets and tags pertaining to my education first and them my personal stuff on a separate webmix. I organize mine by importance and use different colors to keep my tags separate from each other so I know what pertains to what.
PLE on youtube
I agree that in the technology way of teaching, a big main concern for every teacher will be to make sure every single student is looking onto the right sites! In general, I could see it being like a game for a lot of the trouble makers in school to look at getting to use their school computer for things other than school work. The cool thing about the school computers is that they are going to be able to only enter school related sites.
ReplyDeleteYou pointed out that teachers should inform their students that social networking is key to staying connected with people. I agree with how you say this, because in today's world there is so many people we all meet, it is impossible to see them all in one place. With social networking, there are multiple ways of staying in contact with really however many people each individual wants.
Are you ready to be a networked teacher?
