WEEK 16

When digital kids rule the classroom

Kids teaching teachers? I think this article was very interesting. Students today I think should have some input in technology used in the classroom. I think they should be encouraged to create projects such as the one in the article and suggest new things to the teachers. However, I think kids should take initiative in LOTS of subjects! Whenever their learning is authentic and meaningful, they learn more and learn leadership and analytical skills as well. However, the smarter kids get with technology, the smarter we need to be as well! That’s why I think technology skills for teachers are essential because it’s essential for our kids! Teachers should ideally be one step ahead of the kids, however, I think technology is such a fast growing a diverse field, it’s impossible. For this reason, I think teachers need to learn as much as they can about technology and look to the students for input as well.
