Reading Response

In the reading responses this semester we
read and responed to articles relating to the integration of technology
in education. After reading the articles we were given leading
questions to get us to consider the arguements and points made in the
articles. I found many of these articles helpful in getting me
thinking of ways and the implementation of technology into the
classroom.
Also many of the articles instructed us on how to deal with problems
with technology. On the bottom left is my response to an article
written about how the Holocaust never actually existed. Within
this though, we learned way to determine ways of evaluating internet
sites for their authenticity and accuracy. I found this very
helpful as we continue to get more and more information off the
web.
Although I benifited from reading the articles the best part of this
was reading what others in my group had to say about the articles they
read. We don't get to hear what other students think enough in
school and this gave us a way to show each other what we thought.
I found that tons of great ideas and questions were raised by my piers
and classmates.
All the while doing these discussions we were also learning to use
Teacher's Workplace without really realizing it. Again, it killed
two birds with one stone. Responses and discussions like these
are important at any level of education. I'll certainly have
plenty of discussion and debate in my history classes and if class time
is constrained as it often is; I'll just set up some discussions on the
web for my students to do out of class.
