Week 1 - January 26th, 2012

Sup internet?

What I hope to learn from this class is a number of methods that can be used in order to increase the amount of uses for technology in the classroom in order to provide a more comprehensive learning experience for students.  There are a number of students who have a genuine disdain for learning in a classroom environment; I strongly feel that the use of traditional paper-and-pencil, top-down lecture methods are the reason for a large portion of negative attitudes concerning education amongst students.  Last week in class, I learned that this is exactly what I'll/We'll be learning.  I'm enthusiastic over the prospect of enhancing the amount of collaboration in classrooms of the future in order to ensure students' proficiency in the 21st century environment and beyond.
