This week I was assigned Jenny She. Jenny is a primary teacher in Auckland, New Zealand. In Jenny's blog,You Got Snapped she talks about how one of her students had taken a picture of her. Mrs. She was in the middle of recording a student who was reading to her. Of course, she asked to see the picture and to her amazement, it was a great shot. She gave such wonderful feedback to the girl, Tatiana, who took the picture. She stated that what Tatiana had done was, "intelligent learning or even porous learning." Jenny She stated that, from this, she learned that you never know who is watching.
Mrs. She, My name is Caroline Parker and I am a student at The University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I was brought to your blog for an activity in my EDM310 class. I love how you refer to your students in your class as beautiful. They are indeed beautiful. You may be teaching these beautiful children, but at the same time they are indeed teaching you also. It's amazing what we, as adults, can learn from little ones. I also loved how you gave Tatiana guidance on her photo taking techniques. It turned out to be a great picture. I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting and reading your blog posts! You are more than welcome to visit my blog page for my EDM310 class, here is the link:http://parkercarolineedm310.blogspot.com/ Please fell free to visit it and leave any comments and/or suggestions!!
This week Jenny She blogged about how her students were using iPads in her classroom in her blog iPads in my classroom. She discusses how excited she is about having the iPads in her room and how excited the students are to have them. Her students use the iPads for reading and math. They also play the words bingo game. She states that her students use these iPads as a "behavior management tool" in her classroom. Jenny She is very satisified with the iPads in her classroom. I hope her class gets to keep them.
Mrs. She, It's Caroline again. I am in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I think it's a great idea for your students to have iPads. There are so many great apps, like you discussed, to encourage students to read and explore the education side of an iPad, not just the games. It's amazing to think of how far technology has came since the time I was in school and even you. It is mind blowing that children as young as three years old can operate an iPad on their own. I think your students using the apps for math and reading are an encouraging way for them to get engaged in the subject. Reading was never my favorite subject, but maybe if I had an iPad it wouldn't have been so bad. I think you and your students should use the iPads as much as you should while y'all have this trial run with them. They are a great way to get the students involved in whatever subject y'all may be discussing.
