Peer Editing can be helpful in many different ways. Depending on the way you use it, it can be very helpful or at the same time very hurtful. When Peer Editing, keep in mind that you reviewing your classmates. There are nice ways to tell someone how to better their work.
By saying this, it’s ok to correct and give advice in order to make a persons work better. This does not mean to pick every mistake you can find. Be nice with your comments when Peer Editing a persons work. It’s not how many mistakes you make, but can you train your self not to do them over and over again.
Technology in Special Education
Technology is great in all classrooms and in all grade levels. It helps students to learn more and take in more information than just lectures alone. Technology makes students want to learn. Making learning fun is a great way to push kids to greater levels of achievements.
Special Education students benefit even more from technology in their classrooms. It ables the students to complete tasks that would be almost impossible to handle without it. I love the idea of technology in Special Education classrooms. I strongly hope the school systems keep up the good work in expanding technology through out the schools.
How Ipads work with the Academics for Autism
The app I found that can be used in a class room with special need students is called First word Sampler. First word sampler teaches kids about letters, hoe letters relate to sounds, and even how to spell words. The game includes beautiful pictures matching with sounds to go along with the pictures.
Harness Your Students Digital Smarts
Vicki Davis has the write idea in making students technology literate in every way possible. I also agree that using computers over weigh the progress in classroooms over paper and pencils. Vicki Davis also talked about some very good points in the video. She said if you hear a word that you don't understand then you should Google the word. Make it your main objective to find out what the word means. When learning or teaching you can not be afraid to make a mistake.
Digiteen is a great way to communicate with lots of people everywhere. This allows the students to learn along with people from all around the world. No matters what part of the world you are from computers are the link between everyone. I really believe in what Vicki Davis is suing in her classroom. By her teaching technology to her students that will prepare them for the world in the near future.
Byronn,
ReplyDeleteExcellent job on summarizing each article. These are a few mistakes that I found when I was reading your blog post: Misspelled words, misused grammar, and not bolding each topic. Like Dr. Strange always says in class "Proofread everything before hitting the Publish button". Other than that the blog post is well written with just a few minor mistakes. Hope this will help you with future blogging posts!
Take care,
Alecia Baxter
