This website is one that I used when I was learning French. Basically, you try to fill in words in the lyrics during a song. There are three levels and you try to match the speed of the song. There…Continue
Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?

More and more, I am seeing technology taking over classrooms and life in general. People don't write letters. Kids turn in papers written in Word, or e-mail them. It doesn't seem like kids will be…Continue

I can only imagine the questions asked by skilled penmen world over when Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg invented the printing press. I really think you are not talking about technology, but computers and digital technology.…"
Andrea Thompson replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I think it's up to people to not let technology take over, we are in control of this, as we have the choice of what tools we use. Technology should be seen as a tool to aid us and as another tool alongside books and writing, it is not instead…"
Mary Nowland replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I believe money is the reason technology won't take over completely. How could a district afford an iPad for every student at every school from K-12? Who buys the replacement when a student loses it, has it stolen, or breaks it?
With that…"
Lyndsey Leuterio replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"Technology is definitely moving into the classroom and I think there are both advantages and disadvantages to this. I teach 7th grade and one thing I notice on a daily basis is a decline in handwriting skills. Some of my students have…"
Jillian Yetter replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I always wonder the same thing about funding for technology in education. I do not believe that their is a possibility of it taking over because, despite the growth in technology, there will not be a growth in school funding. I have noticed in my…"
Andrea Read replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"Technology is advancing and providing more resources to learn. Although it is advancing, I do not see it taking over the classroom too quickly. The classroom is filled with a variety of teachers. Some teachers quickly adapt to…"
dsmit80336 replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"We use a lot of technology in our classroom and I do not find that it is taking over, however; enriching the lessons being taught. Kids today are not the same as they were years ago and need different types of technques incorperated into their…"
Kelly Rawley Evans replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I think technology is taking over as students are using more ebooks and ibooks, however, the most important thing is that students continue to increase their level of reading. Students will still need to write as handwriting is important,…"

I listened to techchicks episode 98. They discussed screenchomp, filming tricks, infographics, the Global storytelling project, 182 Google tips, Carrot sticks, Songsterr, Typing Web, Kickstarter, Dunno, and Spy Mouse.Screenchomp is for verbally giving “editing points” on student papers. This way you can explain more in less time. Filming tricks has different tips for making movies. Infographics is a prettier version of Excel. The Global Storytelling project is a story on a wiki that has been…See More

This website is one that I used when I was learning French. Basically, you try to fill in words in the lyrics during a song. There are three levels and you try to match the speed of the song. There are many languages that you can use, including English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. It's a lot of fun and really makes your brain work, but it is probably best suited to advanced students and native speakers.http://www.lyricstraining.com/See More
Rebekah Donaldson replied to Ashley Rawls's discussion Are we pushing technology too much?"I think it is really important to continue teaching kids to write manually. All kinds of things are better hand written: journals, letters, and notes. And manual things are better for kinesthetic kids, in my opinion, any way. So, I hope we keep the…"
Rebekah Donaldson replied to rodo montes's discussion Kindles and iPads VS Books"I think it is probable, but not likely very helpful. I need to be able to hold the book, turn the pages, and really highlight it in order to use it. E-books just don't help me very much. On the other hand, students today are growing up in a…"
Rebekah Donaldson replied to Jessica Scott's discussion Student-Use of Technology in the Classroom"The part about this that worries me is that the students who are kinesthetic and concrete may need to actually feel things with their hands. Not move things on a screen. Technology remains a visual/auditory thing to me."
Shannon N Smith replied to Rebekah Donaldson's discussion Will technology take precedence over paper, pens, and writing? Should it?"I think that in the future, technology will play a much greater part in the classroom than it does now, and who knows with the speed technology as well as the world is advancing there may come a day when it does replace these things…"
