This is a new record of my thoughts. I want to try to add posts regularly to help me keep track of my life. I also want to use this like a journal, to help me remember some of the lessons that I've learned in life.

Learning
This week's technology course is proving to be a great learning experience. Just when I thought there was nothing else to learn about Word, Excel, or Google, guess what. I am learning something new! I've also come to the realization that today's generation is so tuned in to technology, and one of the best ways to reach them is through this medium. My nephew, a two year-old, helped me to realize this when he helped me to navigate through the applications on his mom's I-phone. GDOE must accommodate this new generation of learners with current technological equipment and programs.

hey mel..funny you should mention about your 2 yr old nephew. my 4 yr old daughter and 2 yr old son is wanting to play with my phone. I don't have an iphone but I have a something similar (galaxy) and they know how to play games that I don't play. I hate to take it away because I want them to move with technology.
ReplyDeleteMel, I can relate to your experience, because it has happened to me.
ReplyDeleteTell Grace, Liz said Hi and we miss her at DLP. Has she done any stamping parties?
Mel, how's the iguana head treating you? lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Ha'ani and Zhoe are more tech saavy when it comes to my iphone. This class has given me great ideas for next school year. Now the only problem is to find the computers!!
Mel, my sentiments exactly. My son had to help me with my assignment last night. He was so patient with this "old schooler", but I could tell that he was a little incredulous that I could be a teacher and not know all about the wonderful world of technology.
ReplyDelete@Liz: I will Liz. I think she will have more time for stamping parties because she is planning on staying home.
