Generation IM Article
After
reading this article I learned that this upcoming generation relies strongly on
technology. I knew that they did but not as much as the article stated. For
example, I had no idea that about 67% of preschool children use computers. I
also didn’t know that schools use blogs, pod casts and social media tools to
connect with other students. I heard of Pen Pal in schools but never through
the Internet. My eyes were opened to several things and I will try to apply
what I learned in my future classroom.
For
example, in a science class, I could use blogs to write about an experiment my
students are doing. Instead of having a journal and recording their
observations in there, they can have blogs where they write reflections and
observations so that way other students can respond or comment. Just the way we
do it in this class, I believe it is a successful way of learning.

I also was shocked by how much pre-schoolers use technology! It definitely shows why it is so important to use technology in the classroom.
