Web Conference- Week 4
Dr. Jenkins led this discussion, and many people had questions about the reflection over web conferences. They were asking about where the recordings for the past recordings were located. I couldn't find them either, and the e-mail my IA sent out needed a username and password that I didn't have. However, it was interesting to attend the web conference and see what technologies teachers at other schools had in their classrooms. For example, I've always thought our school was behind the times with technology, our teachers just received iPads, and I found that several classrooms have both iPads as well as other tablets for student use. I also thought it was interesting that some districts already have 100% online learning with recordings and podcasts for students to learn from. It was stated that teachers need to let go of being the center of the classroom and allow students to take responsibility for their own learning. I think that's something I struggle with greatly. To be honest, it's hard for me to think of letting go of the traditional style of classroom teaching. This class has greatly helped me to see the possibilities that are out there for expanding education. So, I feel that the more competent and confident I am in this, the more likely I will be to let go of the reigns and switch to the more modern, and student led teaching style.
