In the classroom teachers communicate with text messaging, blogs, online discussions and Wikis.  These resources also allow collaborative learning which is working together as groups.  The teacher can also see where each student is as an individual.

There are all different types of teaching methods to have kids learn.  The way children are learning more and more are through technology such as virtual games, or simulation games and even through some video games.

When using the simulation games for example you want to also incorporate real live situations such as 3x5=15 but also make it were as long as they get the game right they get extra food, or time to build something.  Make it competitive but at the same time fun for them. virtual world game

Some students do not know what plagiarism is.  Plagiarism is copying off of someone and using it for yourself.  Majority of schools let alone teachers will either expel or give you a grade of 0 depending on the circumstances.

Encourage your students to use citations and give the original users credit where it is due.  Or have students use information and interpt the words into their own so it shows they understand the material.

Reflective Writing

We all like to be good writers at some point so this type of writing is more of a personal one.  We can write about our personnel experience with something or write about what we know and have learned.  We can also use hands on learning along with working in groups for reflective writing as well as cooperative learning.

There are a few things that I have learned and experienced in the classroom first would be the teacher's attitude.  What I mean by that is if they are not involved enough or make learning fun, interesting the majority of students will no longer be interested in class then their grades start to fall.

The second would be that the technology today catches students eyes and interest.  One just think no more heavy bag or book that most kids fall asleep or lose interest in.  Most schools have used technology such as computers or iphones and used communication via email, text or video chat.  Some students are doing a impeccable increase in learning and grades.  Some using learning software instead of the old fashion chalkboard.

The third would be that of digital divides and gaps.  There are those student's who can not afford learning materials upfront so offer a payment plan or rental option so the student can succeed in his or her path to education and then their mind is at ease an ready to learn.

How to blog
Reflecting on some of the learning methods that were shocking such as using a cell phone or an ipod in that matter for learning purposes.  In some of the days growing as a teenager we did use computers but never cell phones.  What I do like in the electronic world today for teaching is that there is a way to reach every child whether you can make a learning game so indirectly they are learning but from educational game that they are interested in.  What was also shocking is that most kids are using digital items such as a tablet before school age.  I like some of the indoor and outdoor classroom assignments an then you are able to incorporate them into both for you and the child to learn from it.  It also is great that even those these items are educational that they are offering college courses online so you may reach more students who do have a busy schedule and famalies to take take care of that they have the same opportunities that normally they would not have had.

I know my son had learning material he has to do online such as spelling city which is online and  also counts as a grade and yet its a game made fun for learning. They go over this in class every week of what was learned and what was not.  I am for the new technology, the electronic world to teach kids as well as adults who want to learn.  I love the fact that its just a click away for everything now and you save trees and animals homes by this method.
