Week 2

I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this class. I really enjoyed making My UEN page. This past week I was talking to a few teachers in the school where I work and they went to visit a couple different elementary schools to get ideas on what they want to do for our faculty room, as I was talking to them they talked about how cool the new school was because it is a paper-less school. All of the kids from 3rd Grade through 6th Grade have laptops on their desks and they do everything there. They send their assignments straight to their teachers. It made me think a lot about this class and how great it is that they are using that kind of technology in the classroom. I was also discussing with some of my friends that same thing and one of them said "I think they need to take technology out of the classroom" I highly disagree. His argument was that he gets distracted so easily when he has his laptop in class that he doesn't learn, but I think that if there is a better way to monitor what kids are doing in the classroom it is a great way to learn. Those kids are going to be at so much of an advantage that the kids in the school where I work that hardly get computer time.

I am learning lots in this class and I am enjoying it!!
