Class Readings: Week Four:Oct 1-7

 I saw someone else post about this article; "Prime Time Literature in the High School,"it got me interested so I read it as well. It is about having non-technical benefits yet using video to fill in. Shafer wants us to see that there are many great opportunities gained by watching videos.Language is the art of life and the most important thing we do, because the world revolves around words.

 If we allow students the ability to create there own project and let them present it in their own way they will be more likely to do more research. In today's world we have more opportunities to get grades then just writing a paper! I am starting to see why this class is so cool, we need to be able to grow and to continue updating with the times. Many students are not good test takers so why cant we create a way for them to show the same information in a way that is best for their learning styles?

Video is just another way for our students to learn and its nice that we can show a video in some format in every class. We can bring in movies and analyse the characters, while some kids have trouble remembering names they can see a movie and put a face to the words. We need to use computers and technology in our classrooms so our students are prepared.

What I learn in this classroom is much a building block because what I need to teach my students will be all new technology that keeps updating.
