Week+3

Through watching this weeks videos and readings you see a very consistant message - feedback. Student success cannot be achieved without feedback. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is from the Providing Feedback reading about Mr. Faulk's classroom. In Mr. Faulk's classroom, he administers a quiz by giving each student a clicker. By using this clicker, the students are able to see instantly how they did on the quiz. I think that this is a great way for students to initiate in feedback. In order for a student to succeed in class, a teacher should inform him or her on how they are progressing. If they are not being told how they are doing then they have no idea how they stand in the class. In addition, I feel that providing feedback and/or constructive criticism to the student can help them feel more confident in the classroom.

I enjoyed watching this weeks videos. I especially liked Cameron's video. That child has special talent and I am confident that we have not seen the last of him. I would not be suprised if he were to be in the film industry.

The other interesting find this week is that so many different poeple who know so much about technology. I also agree with something that was said many times this week - everybody is learning, not just the students. The saying that "you are never to old to learn" is a true statement. Sometimes, because I am getting older, I feel that I am out of touch with technology. Then I have to remind myself that I am not the only older person learning.
