This video proves how important it is for educators to use different styles of learning, auditory, visual, and tactile. Mr. Dancealot demonstrates the use of auditory, and visual, but he does not allow the students to use the “hands on” method. “Hands on” learning in very important because it allows students to memorize the material better by allowing the students to physically active in the classroom. Movement such as, skits and role-play help students avoid distracting others as well. In other words, it is very important for teachers to let students interact when teaching a subject like dance so that they can be able to understand and demonstrate the skills properly. Students learn best by doing.
Harness Your Students Digital Smarts
The students show us that Vicki Davis has taught them to experience and learn about trends. They have become students with a new perspective. No pencil, and no paper is needed in her class because, as stated by Vicki, only certain types of children will succeed with paper and pencil. With computer based learning every child will succeed, and every child will learn to use the technology. Information technology has grown so much in today’s society, and it is simply computer based learning. With computer based learning, students like Vicki’s class will be able to learn how to blog, post research, connect to the web and share ideas. It also allows them to meet new people, and learn many things like definitions to words that they never used or heard before. Technology is very essential for all present and future educators and students.
The Networked Student
The student uses many resources to create a knowledge base that will help him expand his knowledge of American Psychology far beyond textbooks. The supportive teacher will be available for guidance, to show the student how to take advantage of learning opportunities, how to communicate properly and ask for help from other students or instructors, respectfully. This network of other students will widen the students diversity of the subject. The student then researches his topic and creates a blog. Itunes can also be an useful tool when researching because it contains informative podcast. In this blog other students may comment leaving their opinions and knowledge. These useful ways of technology has helped the student broaden his knowledge of American Psychology. These skills are the future of the 21st century for students to utilize learning, navigate the future, and solve the world’s problems.
