Students need to know that I am the teacher, but I am also someone they can feel comfortable around. 
This can be very difficult, but it is so important for students. They will not be their best selves if they feel they are not trusted by me. They also will not be their best selves if they cant trust me. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588847944 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588856903 * I learned that I need to trust my students more. Schools always make a point that students need to be watched like a hawk because they are sneaky. I think, as a teacher, I need to maybe back off a little with my students. For example, I will trust them with certain assignments to not misuse their technology. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588856903 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588863200 * I learned that technology is not a bad thing. Technology in the classroom can of course come with its' problems, but everything has problems. Technology should be seen as something that is positive. For example, let the kids that learn better online, do work online. Their outcome and knowledge will be better. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588863200 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588871142 * I learned that although technology is good for a classroom, there does need to be some form monitoring. I need to trust my students, but also protect them. I need to enforce the no bullying rule and make sure it is being followed. For example, if I give an assignment, I will let my students choose to do it online or on paper, but I need to find a way online to make sure they are following the rules.]]> 2021-06-07 03:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588871142 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588881103 * Technology helps students with anxiety interact with their classmates. I know for me, I am not afraid to talk with someone online, but in person my nerves act up. This would help students to feel more comfortable and learn to come out of their shells a little. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588881103 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588887998 * Technology is used everywhere. Our students now have grown up with it. They know how to use it and a lot of them are more efficient and happier when using technology. For example, I give my students a research project. Which would be faster and funner to use, a library or their computer? Most kids would pick computer, this way they have fun learning and its quicker. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588887998 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588901303 * Technology teaches our students about the real world. If we are honest with ourselves, we should know that our world is being wrapped by technology. Our students need to be prepared for that. Teaching kids the old way just does not work anymore. Our world is changing by the day. Our teaching needs to stay updated. ]]> 2021-06-07 03:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588901303 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588907983 * If technology is pushed too hard on our students, they might start to hate playing outside or with friends. This is a problem. Exercise is proven to make people happier, kids need exercise. Technology could be wall in that sense. For example, my little brother loves playing outside or with his friends, but the second his phone is charged he is a whole different boy. He is glued to it and refuses to do anything else. I just think, in classrooms, there needs to be a nice balance.]]> 2021-06-07 03:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588907983 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588923260 * Technology can make our students' social skills decline. If they are only interacting with their classmates online, they will not know what to do in person. This can leave a negative impact on them later when they are applying for a job in the future. This can also leave a negative impact on them when they are trying to make friends.]]> 2021-06-07 04:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588923260 jenningsdl1 https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588930427 * Cyber bullying is a traumatic and very real thing. Technology in the classroom, can make this a reality. If not monitored correctly, our students can get very badly hurt. As teachers, we need to make sure our students know how to treat their classmates online. I know students get bullied in person too, but technology makes it so much easier and it can also spread faster. ]]> 2021-06-07 04:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jenningsdl1/hyuwgjrnq3abyc9u/wish/1588930427
