I think that students with different personality types will have different methods of learning just because they have different views about things than other people. The different personalities might consist of someone who is outspoken and interactive in discussions in class and another who just sits back an observes by soaking everything in. I think it would help greatly to know students better. Then if there is a project in the class that requires students to work together, I would pair the two opposing personalities together so they could mesh together and use the best of both their personalities.

week 3-blog posting

Inspiration seems like its ahead of its time. I think this technology is going to revolutionize the classrooms, but I am not sure that it will ever be a universal thing because of the cost per student and not everyone will be able to acces this at their home. It is a great revolutionary product that will make it easier for children to keep up with documents by keeping everything saved in an electronic form.

I think that research activities will get the best use from this program because all the resources it combines to make information easily available. I would have the students take turns looking at each others research methods and see if they could combine their efforts to help each other. Technology will help bettor organize the research methods helping to improve the feedback. I think that one really doesn't know how well they know something till they try to explain it. I helped tutor young kids in math when I was in high school. Math has always been an easy task to complete for me and when I helped these kids, it made me think of things alot faster as I did it myself.

Assignment Week 2

I have never used a blog previously but I am starting to see the reality in it and how it can make things so much easier.



I think that blogs can have a great affect on education giving students the knowledge on how to use them as well as keeping a porfollio of what the students are doing.



I think blogs can do nothing but help students. There is constantly knowledge going through the web just through blogs. Although they may not all be complete fact, they can still make learning experiences more enjoyable as well as making students more computer and internet literate.
