21st Century Classroom
Technology in the High School English Classroom
Blog Post- Integrating Technology into the English/Secondary Education Classrooms.
Both of these videos discussed using technology in a high school classroom setting. The first video discusses how technology should be integrated into the 21st Century classroom. Videos, such as YouTube, are discussed as a main resource for students to learn. Being able to pause and replay videos allow for students to learn at their own pace. Students in the video also discuss how technology engages them more in a classroom compared to just using a text book. The way the classroom is set up in the video is all the students have their own laptops. Each students explores the internet to learn new ideas. I believe this setup could work in a high school setting if the students were provided the right guidance for their teacher.
The second video mainly focuses on the English high school classroom. I am an English major, so I found this video to be very useful. The video discusses how the Smartboard can be a main resource in the English classroom. Students can highlight and analyze text using the Smartboard. Another great example of incorporating technology was the use of students making videos. These videos were assignments that allowed students to express, from their own point of view, their understanding of the readings assigned in the classroom.
Hi Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI like the idea I got from your blog post here, because it feels familiar. It feels like it would fit right along with the other posts that we are assigned. I loved the videos that you chose! I thought the first was a great way to show the use of technology in the classroom! The second video was more of explaining how to start using technology and how it can benefit. Both great choices.
Thanks for posting!

Interesting. I have used the history video, The second video did not contribute much in my opinion.
