Blog Assignment #11

Back to the Future by Brian Crosby was a great video to watch and to teach other teachers how technology can be used now in the classrooms. I learned from this teacher that technology is okay to incorporate into the classroom. I also learned that you can teach other classrooms the same experiments you did through the internet. Mr. Cosby taught a classroom of kids how to do the coke can crush experiment through the internet. Children also enjoy learning more when you incorporate technology into your lessons.

Blended Life Cycle by Paul Anderson. This article is a great resource to teach instructors how to teach using the blended life cycle. Before this video, I had never heard of the Blended Life Cycle. I really enjoyed learning about the cycle though. He uses the acronym quivers to make sure he touches all parts he needs to.

Making Thinking Visible by Ron Ritchhart. He teaches instructors how to make their students better thinkers. His main point to making students better thinkers is to make sure they see a different perspective on all the different ways of the world.

Teaching Digital Citizenship by Sam Pane. Through this video teachers can learn how to teach children to be safe on the internet. I love how he made his lesson so interactive with the students. They seemed like they were excited because it was so interactive.

Project Based Learning teaches us how to use project based learning throughout our lessons. This video also gives examples of students learning through project based learning, and it seems like they learn a lot clearer than when they don't use project based learning.

Roosevelt Elementary's PBL program is a cute video students put together to show how they used project based learning. You can tell throughout the video all the students were super excited to share. I love seeing students excited to learn.
