Week 7

I think educators should go as far as maing sure they have the same exact thing that all their students use. If they dont and they are using something more up to date, then i think the student will be left behind; but it wouldnt be the students fault, it would be the techers fault. SO i think the teachers need to have the exact same thing as the students.
I think that online chats and instant messaging do tkae away from the real instructing. I think when yoiu allow your kids to do this, they do not pay any attention to you anymore and on the chats or ims they probably are not talking about school related things, they are probably gossiping or joking around.
NO NO NO NO NO.... Face to face is the best way to do things. You can have it all typed out and then read it to them, but never just the text.
I believe that podcast can help students, after the have already heard it from the teacher. If they use podcast like someone would use a voice recorder. If they go home after school and listen to it just remember what the teacher said then i think they could be useful.
In a wierd way i think it can help you study. I think that videogames can be useful it done correctly. I think that it will help you with your concentration, becuase you have to concentrate on nothing but the video game when you are playing. I will let my kids play video game but not for any longer then an hour or so.
