     Ms. Cassidy has some great  ideas when it comes to teaching our young kids technology. Computers have  become mandatory to learn how to use in today's world. Ms. Cassidy is teaching her students how to write great blog posts on their page very early in their learning career. Other skill have to be taken into consideration when commenting on blog posts. When making comments, you have to know how to comment on  posts without saying hurtful things. Web pages are also very useful to use in classrooms. These pages can be used to research any information you are looking for background information on.

     Wiki is another great computer site that can be used in research. This site allows you to ask any other people around the world their input

 on a certain subject. Skype gives you the ability to have group discussions and meetings without actually meeting face to face. Ms. Cassidy was rite on time when she said kids should not push technology aside, but take it very seriously. Technology should be one of the main focuses in every teacher's classroom.

     Looking at all theses skills Ms. Cassidy talked about in her videos makes me really think long and hard. In my future class room I can't see myself not using any of these great tools. I would strongly encourage everyone to adopt all of these skills into their classrooms. They will help the teacher communicate with the students and also would cut back on the actual in class time. By using tools like Skype, I could make sure all my students got there instructions for work even if they were not present in the classroom. These tools would  surely be something I would surely use in my future classroom.

  1. Hey Byronn, I just finished reading your blog post and I must say I was a little confused. I think overall you are saying you agree with Mrs. Cassidy, but your post is not very clear. I noticed several places where your word choice was off (ex. “rite” in the first paragraph should be right; “wikis is” should be wikis are; and “these skills” should be the skills). I also found the sentence “In my future classroom I can’t see myself not using any of these great tools” to be a very confusing sentence that contains a double negative. I would suggest you look over your post before posting them, be sure to proofread them several times before posting, and don’t rush when writing. Lastly I noticed that you have no working links and no picture which are required for all blog post.

  2. Byronn,

    Windy has touched on all the concerns I had for your blog post so I will not be repetitive. I can see you felt Ms. Cassidy's classroom style to be beneficial to students and that is good.
