Words to live by...

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
Benjamin Franklin

Reflection Session 4

What I feel students need to know before engaging in Internet searches and online social networking sites:
  • Students need to know what the goal of the engagement is (if academic)
  • Students need to know what the parameters are (if academic)
  • Students need to know not be naive about creepy peoples' motives for contact with them (always)
  • Students must be guided in ethical/proper behavior when using social networks in particular
How can technology support student understanding and building of knowledge?
  • much more content can be presented in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional methods
  • especially when learning History, videos, presentations with images, etc., (viewing and creating) are very valuable
Types of products I feel can inspire creativity and innovation:
  • webquests
  • student made video
  • power point presentations - teacher and student made
