Blog Post #7: "How Do We All Become Learners?"

Blog Post #7: "How Do We All Become Learners?"
By: Noah Armstrong 


1. What I Need To Do.
     As far as learning different approaches to teaching go, I think I am on the right track.This is my first education class in college. As my classes progress I'm positive that I will learn more teaching techniques to better reach a higher percentage of my future students.
    When it comes to the "Best Technology" (debatable with Apple products) I have some learning to do. I can do the basics but that doesn't seem to be enough anymore. This class (EDM 310) has become a resource that is teaching me more about technology than any class I have taken. However, I don't know how many schools actually have the resources to do half the things that are demonstrated in this class.  

2. What I Learned From These Videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iezQjGbTpm0&feature=youtu.be     -iPad Reading Center-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ophIZhNs2s4                                     -Poplet-

     The QR Code was helpful. I have always wondered how to do that and I'm sure I can find a way to incorporate it into a high school lesson plan. Using the iPad as a recorder sounds like a fast an efficient rethinking of the tapes I used in elementary school. Poplet is a neat little app for making webs. As a future high school teacher it could be used but it would have to be in a more in depth manner than in the video. AVL and Board builder are both things I have used in high school, so I really didn't get that much out of those videos.

  1. Hey Noah! I really liked your post! The layout of your post was very neat and organized so that I could easily read it! I agree with a lot of the points you have made. The more teaching classes you will take the more you will learn. Good luck to you!!

  2. Be sure to include alt/title modifiers with the pictures you use in you blog posts. The instructions on how to do so are on page 6 of the blog post assignments document.
