I liked reading this blog and learning about how the author believed what life and learning will be like in 2020, and how they plan on coping with that generation was interesting.
The author of the blog in my opinion was very diverse in many aspects. In one of thier posts they explain in thier opinion what is weighing down learning. They say that the current school model resembles that industrial economic model of the past way too much and it is not suited correctly for the current societal needs. The author continues to say that educators need to question the very foundation of the education systems as we live in such an information-rich world. That is just one of the many ideas that are able to be accessed on this blog. It makes you think.

This blog really showed exactly what its title is which is TILT - Teachers Improving Learning with Technology. This blog is a how to blog and gave a lot of new ideas for teachers who seek to use technology in their everyday teaching. A specific example from the blog that I believed to be a really good idea was how the author taught us how to embed Youtube video onto a powerpoint that the teacher would use to teach the class with. A nifty way to spruce up a powerpoint rather than just sticking in pictures. And that is just one of the many examples on this particular blog.
I really enjoyed your descriptions of both blogs. I saw one or two grammatical errors, but overall very good. I would have maybe just hyperlinked the site to the title of the blog, rather than just putting the url.
ReplyDeleteI thought both blogs sounded interesting and would be of good use for teachers to get comfortable with working with current and future technology. The only I would say is maybe add a picture to your post
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see the titles of your blogs rather than just the hyperlinks. What are your personal opinions on these sites? Could you use these in your classroom?
