I have that technology is very important in the classroom. There are a lot of advantages of bringing in technology. First of all, most students that I know learn visually. Not all students are the same. There different types of learning; some students learn visually, hands-on and auditory. The teachers must use different ways to teach. They should also give the students different options as for taking in information, and use their own ways to come up with answers. I feel like the use of technology is important because some teachers can just use the power point to show those visual students what the material is about. Many teachers can also assign homework through the internet.
Especially the science teachers; instead of giving the students assignments on cardboard, they can ask them to use the internet with parent permission to search and to be creative. The technology will help students to be more focus in the subjects and less distract by other things. As an education major, I will be using the technology to help my students. I will give them assignments to do online when they go home. This might be a way for me to keep them busy at home. I will also ask the parents for their email address. That way when I need to discuss something with one of the students’ parents, I could just send them an email.
Students will learn if they are grouping. I will assign group work for my kids. They will be required to go online to a website provided by me to search for whatever it is. It could be a project. The use of technology, especially the internet, is debated in learning. If a teacher wants to be advanced in his or her teaching style, he or she might consider using the technology. It may also be used to promote teachers or students. The technology helps the teacher to put class activities and process of each student. With this technology, teacher may also use it to send out weekly lecture to parents. If for instance a student misses a day of class, that student will know what was covered. That was I have learned about the use of technology in classroom.

In this past six week, I have learned a lot in this class about the use of technology in the process of instructional delivery. First of all, I used to think that technology in school was not really needed until I took that class. I did the research on technology in classroom. The behaviorist and constructivist are not similar when it comes to approaches however they have the same objectives in common. The constructivism theory is consisted of six other styles of strategies; in contrast, the behaviorism theory made up of eight different ways of teaching. Collaborative learning is somewhat a way to tell information and receive knowledge as a team to express you or seek for better information.
The constructivist however is different in ways. It also helps the teachers plan their ways of teaching. It combines with the technology. This is where the teacher will use a power point presentation to demonstrate her topic of the subject for the day. Some teachers will assign students with an email address and that way they will be able to get in contact with them. Students will be more involved if technology is used in the classroom. There is a variety of activities for a teacher to assign their students with for all grade levels. Since I will be teaching third or fourth grader, I will be using more presentations, graphs, essays, journals, even ask them to create their own activities.
Everyone learns different. That is why they have different styles of teaching. A student that learns best by seeing, will be assign to do a project of what the have learn in the class by showing their classmates, pictures, graphics, etc… students who best learn by hearing, will have to show us a video on what they also learn and those that do learn by touching, will have to create a power point presentation for the class. It will be appropriate to just focus on one student on a class of one or more. Teacher should give each of them his or her own individual attention. Back to the use of computers in the classroom; the students will have a better understanding of the subject that is being discussed. One should always ask question to enhance their knowledge.

A Digital story is when technology is involved. These days, people use technology for anything. There are different types of digital story. It could be a story that someone creates to make a power point. People used digital story to show what they will have accomplish. For example, a teacher uses a power point to show the students a project. Technology in education can make learning fun. When it come to technology, the students are curious; they want to know what is coming next. It motivates the student to learn in class. It depends on the class; they can even use it for reflection time or deep learning. Technology is so common these days that it is important for a teacher to know its use.
Not only a digital story but also a video can be used in a classroom as a teaching tool for the students. There are a variety of website recourses that help students with information about any subject such as mathematics, English, science, history and the arts. Some of the students are visual and auditory learners, so it will be a good choice for them. The teacher may also use these video as a group or individual project. Most stories focus on a specific subject and contain a main detail. But some digital stories contain music, pictures, text audio etc… Digital story should last not no more than two an eight minutes. Most of the time, the story telling are from personal source and a few details are just from the community. For a student to succeed in telling stories, he or she must be practice a lot, meaning watch lots of videos.
In my EME 2040 class, one of my assignments is to create a digital story on why technology is very important in the classroom. Before I even start with my own digital story, I have to watch other peers’ digital video; in that way it will help me my own story. Digital Story is so easy that even two years old can create one. All the person need is the audio, the text, the music if applicable, the topic of my story and the main point of view. My digital story will be in class for about three to five minutes long. To me that is the definition of digital story.

Philosophy and philosophy of education are two different things. Philosophy of education is the purpose of a study. Meaning if a professor is teaching a project, that teacher must have a purpose for this subject. Just like education in school is separated in distinct categories, like math, science, reading, art, music, English etc… The philosophy of education is operated in five categories. Philosophy believes that it is best to identify the best and bring test like Aristotle, Plato, Shakespeare, etc… Hutching believes that a curriculum should and most consist of reading, writing, mathematics and literature and that these subjects should mastered before any other subject. . An education is information given to children. The educational must have open house. It must move forward not backward. Also it should have it on purpose.
We are not the society and the society is not us. In making this statement, due to the economic downfall, the school distinct budget is down and they have more students. The teachers will not be able to focus on a classroom of 30 or more students. Meaning a teacher might have a class of thirty students in it and a period of six different classes. So in total, this teacher will see one hundred and eighty students a day. Everyone has his or her own personality and that is one thing that makes every student unique. It will be foolish to focus on one particular student only on a class of thirty kids; because a teacher spends at least ninety minutes a day for approximately two or three days a week if they are in high school. How can a teacher know each individual in eight months?
Therefore, I believe that if all the students are being thought the basics of education which are reading, writing, and computer and also are taking physical education, it will enhance the student’s knowledge. Children that educated touched their own lives and others around them. Education gives the student a fundamental base for as long as he or she lives. A person without a good education will not be able to feed and clothe themselves and aloes their family. If someone is educated, it will benefit the society that person is living in; because the decision making will affect us. Today there are four basic educational philosophies. They are all different but have the same purpose. Therefore the teacher should be the one who organized his or her schooling.

Invariability, uncompassionate, unwise are all false adjectives to describe middle school students. It was once said “not to judge a book by its cover”, I believe that statement is more than correct. Middle school students seem to be exactly the opposite of what are minds think. Although middle school students does not show or demonstrate vulnerability, wisdom, deep authenticity and compulsion, if you catch them when they are not aware, you can see that inside them has something more than just organs and blood. Two classes from two different sides of the earth has shown and demonstrated vulnerability, wisdom, deep authenticity and compassion. A group of students from Israel and another group of students from Albert Canada was once working on a project. During the project the students explored the right to a safe place and I believe that it is more significant to explore the right to a safe place that exploring space itself.
The student discussed how safe their environment and classroom are. Because they were located on the opposite side of earth, they communicated through e-mail. Thirteen and fourteen year olds are mostly interested in sports, music and fashion. They shared their interest over the internet but are seemed as if none of their interest included the frequent terrorism attacks in Israel. Even though the exchange of messages through email didn’t express or give any expression on how they viewed the situation in Israel, their reflection written was more than reflection writing, more than a poetry but created a portrait on how unsafe Israel is. Through their Pivotal and touching words, the Israeli students expressed how they had fear going to the street, going to the movie. The movies theater is protected by guards or not being free to ride on buses or take trips.
The Israeli students expressed such things really affected the Canadian students because although the two classes were on the two different sides of the earth, they were all the same age group and cared about their peers. The students showed compassion when they were watching a CNN photo essay on the recent terrorism in Israel. Maybe if we really took our time to read middle school students a book, we will see that they are fascinating people. These two different groups of students learned about each other’s environment, and showed how much they cared on such situation that did not include then and now passionate they were though their words. I guess middle school students are fascinating books to read after all.

Frederico Garcia Lorca
This poem is about how Frederico suffered when his dad passed away. It is still with him the sorrow. Wherever his dad used to be, if he goes there, he will feel the spirit. "I learned from u. u taught me of the wildness of grief, so out of control, so hysterical, without promise of
consolation or moving on. u took me to a cruel & ugly place devoid of grief softening imagery." Frederico has been through a lot. When you lost a love one, it like you have lost everything. When stated "i cried for all of the lovers i would lose & i cried for u, garcia lorca, like the ants who cried when the king died, beaten to death by Franco falangists, truly a victim of rough trade, truly a hero for the way u lived yr life & the courage u displayed at the moment of yr death." I have been through that experience twice in my life where I have lost my grandmother a week before my wedding day and my stepfather due to the tragedy in Haiti. It was very hard for me to deal with my grandmother death because she had a part of my wedding. She passed away the Saturday before the wedding.And as for my stepfather, I couldn't accept his death just because. His was the hardest because he wasn't sick. He went to visit his other family members in Haiti and he didn't make it back.
