I also agree that it is a lot better for the environment. The homework app was my favorite too, but I think that if teachers use this they should only put out a week's worth of homework at the time so the students can all stay together. I also like the way you brought up the negative aspects of the system. Social activity is a huge part of school. I am also a firm believer in math work being done on paper with a pencil while the teacher is showing the how to for the problem. But the iSchool apps are definitely the future for schools to save money and maybe support the staff a lot better with the money that they save.Brelyn Searcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032874656074688775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512474290700951521.post-27896327969933412572012-10-05T15:36:29.765-05:002012-10-05T15:36:29.765-05:00Hi Rachel
Just thought I'd leave you a comment...Hi Rachel<br />Just thought I'd leave you a comment so that you know I dropped by your blog. I followed some bread crumbs across the web - as I like to do occasionally - and landed here in the middle of your preparation to become a teacher.<br />I started teaching in 1982, high school Mathematics, in a little country high school in NSW, Australia. I now teach Technology and Applied Studies in a large metropolitan high school in the southern suburbs of Sydney. This just goes to show that to get a job and make it into a career you need to continue to learn and grow, and technology is certainly a central focus in that journey.<br />All the best for the challenges that lie ahead and remember that 'they' say it takes at least 10,000 hours to become an expert at something - teaching is just like that - you're stacking up those hours!<br />Kind regards, Deb Hogg<br />GRC Penshurst Girls Campus<br />@debhoggozDebHogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025375673044469425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512474290700951521.post-73931901022158403562012-10-02T11:41:52.877-05:002012-10-02T11:41:52.877-05:00"...money it cost schools..." costs not ..."...money it cost schools..." costs not cost<br /><br />"I still like the old fashion way of teachers teaching in front of the class, sometimes I think technology takes it too far. ... do not take it the wrong way." <br /><br />It's not me you have to worry about. You need to worry about how you will get and keep a job in the new world where technology rules!<br /><br />"...my students work.I want to teach..." You need a space after the period.<br /><br />"I want to teach them in person. " I don't have that choice. You probably will not either. Watch for a special assignment that deals with this!<br /><br />You do not describe what a "flipped classroom" is. A reader of your post who had not watched the assigned videos (or learned elsewhere about flipped classrooms) would be totally in the dark about what you are talking about.<br /><br />Oh do you have surprises in store for you! The world is changing faster than you think, even in education. And you can't stop it!<br /><br /><br /><br />John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
