watching videos...

In the spider video, the teacher used technology to give the students realistic images through videos and the internet.
In the “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” video, the teacher explained her use of technology as extending learning and develop specific skills (classification, identification, observation, etc.)
In the final video, the teacher encouraged her students to manipulate and use play around with the technology accessible to the in order to prepare their presentations. This certainly aids students in developing confidence in technology use. Because our world depends so highly on technology, I see its use in education as absolutely essential. This teacher’s manner of teaching kids to explore and create with technology further prepares them to use changing and developing technology in the adult world.
All in all, these videos have shown me that technology can be used to extend learning, develop skills, and peak interest. How could you not use it?
