Our discussion today was on Chapter 10: Rethinking Education in a Technological World. I thought the group was very creative because of the way they grouped is (jigsaw grouping). I thought they could have managed their time a little better, but overall I thought this group did a great job! At the end we collaborated in our color groups and were able to create our visions for the school. It was interesting to hear every one's ideas and thoughts on this topic. This was the last chapter in the book, so it'll be interesting to see what Boyer does with the extra time in the beginning of our discussion period. Especially since we are pretty much done with most of our projects for this class.
The next part of class was focused on a media search. We had to find an online video, a podcast, a SMART Notebook lesson, a Scratch project, and an online game or simulation. This made us realized how easy it is to find something very easily if you know what you are looking for. Look how many sources I found in just 10 minutes. It also taught us how we will have to relate material and determine if it worthy or not. It also showed us that we can get sources from the larger community. We can look through our classmate's findings by going to class organization wiki and clicking on our peer's Delicious accounts. We need to remember that we don't need to teach alone! We can learn from others. I saw this as an opportunity to benefit from others!
