Thecnology has affected our lives

As state in the article Oh, the Change We've seen by Maureen Yoder, "Piaget believe in children as builders of their own intellectual models. As teachers, we are in position to help children build them... using technology," (M. Yoder, 17) this quote is so true. Children definitely are builders; they build their intelligence collecting experiences through out their lives. As teacher we should help them build it, but for a real understanding a personal experience is necessary. Integrating computer to the classroom is definitely a solution to expand the children experiences. I remember when I was in elementary and middle school. Teachers used to bring small magazine’s pictures to inspire us to write a paper, we normally have to share these pictures with our entire class. Today, teachers can find millions of pictures in the Internet, about any subject and display on the classroom projector. Everyone can have access to the image at the same time. We can even share our ideas about and promote a discussion, and make comparison. The time we save, and the growth of knowledge are amazing. We can become expert about anything that happens in the world. Technology creates geographic closeness, which make us world citizens. We are part of a must large community, and have the obligation to collect data about this world society that we live in. Children definitely are open to consume all this information, which improve their critical thinking. This week, I have to say that I learned a lot about Rubric. This is a very exciting theme, I was looking forward for that I always want to learn to create an assignment rubric. It will be very useful in my future. I plan to use rubric for most of my assignment in the classroom. We also were able to create a newsletter, which was so much fun work. I loved, I went home after school and I could not stop work in this project, until I had done.
I have to finalizing saying that it was a very fun week in the Educ. 422.
