Blog Assignment 11



Watching this video of how interactive these children are in Mrs. Cassidy's  classroom.  The way the children want to learn make learning computers worth the hard times that come with learning computers so late like I have.  If putting computers, skype, short video's, and other great things into the classroom helps the students want to learn instead of just sit there listening to a teacher lecture about things that they could be doing on computers I am all for it.  I know that if I had computer interaction when I was in school, I feel like I would be more prepared for things.  Like the children introducing computers to them at such a young age is great that way they will have a better understanding of them and their computers skill will continue to blossom.  So the techniques are great especially how everyone know how to blog and interact great with the computers sites and things. Some things that may be an issue is unwanted junk mail and things that are inappropriate for children to see, with that issue just put a block on it.

  1. In the code you embedded for this video you will see a video size (i.e. 400 X 600), make both numbers equally smaller and it will fit better on your blog. SS

  2. I agree, introducing students to computers early will help them learn quicker. On the other hand, I think most kids have already been introduced to computers in today’s society; the problem is that schools do not incorporate using technology on a daily basis in the curriculum. The average American family owns a computer with internet access. In other words, using the internet is not new for kids because they are being exposed to it daily basis. The problem is that schools aren’t taking advantage of that exposure and teaching kids how to use the internet effectively. Great post!
