EDR 425 Wolf Article Reflections by Dr. Portman https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf Like/Dislike, Why, Proust?, Neuroscience?, Socrates? en-us 2016-08-15 15:51:07 UTC 2016-09-06 21:30:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955825 I have seen the This is Water video that we watched last week at least 5 times in the past thee years. Every time I see it, I know the information it has but I never truely think critically about it. i can see it again and again and have a few thoughts about it but then it leaves my mind after class is over. The video is readily available to me but I never incorporate it into my life. This article reminded me of that. So yes, I do agree with this article.]]> 2016-09-06 21:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955825 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955880 I agree with this chapter. It had so many relevant points that I have never really thought of before. I really thought what it was saying is the importance of teaching children to read and critically think first before introducing them to the internet. While I was reading this chapter for example,I googled who Proust was instead of going to a book or communicating with my peers about it. I have fallen into this habit of using the internet as my main resource. As the article said, automaticity is the heart of the reading process.]]> 2016-09-06 21:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955880 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955899 This article made me think about all the access to information that we have today, but how we so rarely know how to manipulate and apply that information to make it meaningful. As a college senior, I still have trouble sometimes sorting through all the information I come across on the internet, and especially thinking critically about it. I think it is extremely important to teach students that they have control over the information they come across, and to not let the information control them. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955899 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955932 I liked how the article talked about the possible dangers of the digital world and how we should be aware of them, especially with future generations. As future teachers, we should be concerned with the way our students think. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955932 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955957 I agree with children, and ourselves being "cursed by Google". It definitely cripples our critical thinking, and encourages us to be lazy.

]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955957 I liked this article. I think that it is critical for students to develop essential skills of reading and self motivation before relying primarily on the internet for the quick answer.  https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955958 2016-09-06 21:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955958 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955966 I agree that students need the time to think and the motivation to think for themselves in order to develop a "reading brain". Our job as teachers is to help them gain that motivation ]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955966 This article made me think alot about how much schools wants to be updated on technology for education, but never really provide the knowledge on how to use it. Not just how to press buttons, but how to teach children to use it and think about technology. How much it is a privilege to have and they can learn so much from technology if they know what exactly to look for. People believe that using tehnology is exciting and it is. But at the end of the day, if it is boring on paper, it is boring on the screen.  https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955967 2016-09-06 21:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955967 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955977 I liked this article and how they talked about motivating students to think outside the box, and allowing them time to reflect on what they are learning. Allowing time for reflection will give them the opportunity to hear what their classmates are thinking, and being able to learn from each other. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955977 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955978 Children have to be taught how to think critically, through modeling and examples, and they will eventually be able to do it on their own. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955978 I liked the article and how it talked about technology putting us back a step. Sometimes I think technology is hurting us, especially kid's imagination and social abilities. Technology is great, when used appropriately   https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955983 2016-09-06 21:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955983 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955989 This article was very thought provoking. It is important that with the rising of technology in the classroom, we don't allow students to lose the ability to think for themselves. they need to learn how to use technology as a tool for their thinking, not a replacement for it. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121955989 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956012 I agree that sometimes google can be a curse because students don't have to think very far into anything when they can simply look it up and get an immediate answer.]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956012 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956014 I agree with this article and think that access to search engines such as google eliminate our ability to truly think about things. For example, when I don't know a word I tend to search the definition on google instead of taking the time to question what the word means based on the context of the sentence. We live in a world that is very fast paced which hinders our ability to stop and think]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956014 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956015 I think this is an important topic that isn't addressed very often in education classes. I didn't realize how often i Google something and think I know all I need to know about that topic, but now I realize that I should dig deeper and find more information to grow my knowledge. I need to remember this in my future classroom to let children think and gain "real" knowledge]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956015 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956018 I definitely agree with Wolf that the digital world is "endangering" the reading brain. Children and adults are used to getting information quickly, so it causes difficulty when we must engage in a task for a significant period of time. We are so used to finding out what we need almost immediately, we have lost our ability to think critically about a task or a piece of text for an extended period of time. ]]> 2016-09-06 21:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956018 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956022 I enjoyed this article because it prompted me to think about how important it is to prevent children from relying on technology to learn everything. I have seen many children act like robots in school because they have not been taught how to think for themselves or investigate further into learning.

We have to be taught in a specific way that makes our brains process it. Also never really thought much about the fact that children need to think critically in order to fully process things.]]> 2016-09-06 21:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956088 I believe that having access to technology and vast amounts of information can be beneficial if used correctly. If students are not taught to go beyond what is presented to them they will never truly understand or https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956105 2016-09-06 21:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956105 The article made me think and I realized that I fall into the category of being "cursed" by google. It's so easy to just go click-click and have an answer instead of taking the time to read through a lot information and make sense of it.  t_stross22 https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956126 2016-09-06 21:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/wolf/wish/121956126
