Movie Night:)

I recently watched a video movie called "Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts", and loved the content! In my high school years I took several "media" classes only because I knew they wouldn't be hard to pass, until I became a Junior and took a digital lab class! It was hard! But I tried my hardest to figure out what she was talking about and did not always know! My Senior year I took the second class that coordinates with the one I took the previous year! The same teacher as well. She never once told us what we had to do! We would draw names out of a basket on what project we each would get for the week and then we could trade if both parties agreed on it! I was then permanently assigned to the weekly newsletter! That is when I realized I loved design and decor! It was great!

The teacher in this video is almost identical in actions with this teacher! At one point in the video she states that sometimes she is the student and her kids teach her! This reminds me so much of my old lab class! We kept ourselves up to date as well as our teacher with her support guiding us most of the way!!

I myself love this method of teaching! When I do become a teacher I will definitely try this method and if it does not work for me then I will not proceed with it! It’s worth a try though! Technology is so important and students need to learn it as well as teachers!

Like the woman said in the video, paper and pencil may not work for every student! And it sure didn’t work for me! I am positive I will use the things I have learned and teach them to my students, and who knows, they could be teaching me! Ha!
