Personality Quiz

Hello my results are EFSJ -The caregivers, Yes I think that a learning style has to do with ones personality. However, I do not think that a personality test will help you much. You need to get to know your students and be familiar with them; for example, get to know who they are where they come from, why they think the way they do. Test do not convey all the meaning you need, nor does a test express emotions. Therefore to truly know is to see the emotions that come with someone , the personal approach.

Blog week 2

Blogs: I don't really know alot about blogs, wha I know I have learned in this class. I have heard alot about them and tweeter etc. Given the right context I suppose that blogging is ok. It can definetly be a useful tool in the classroom. It may well be the next communication between teachers and parents as well being that I have seen so many parents not involved in their childs education but they would spend hours on the computer, maybe they would keep up better with blogging. Who knows! I do look forward to learning more and getting know all of you if it has to be via blogging. Have a wonderful day

Chapter 4

Inspiration: This is an awesome tool, I do wish I had known about it sooner. So many times I have sat in front of the computer hinged on a deadline with "writers block"if you will. This tool will be very useful, students alot of times can come up with various ideas but not know how to put them together. I like the idea of the visual aspects as well, it seems very easy for a group to navigate around and work efficiently as a team;because it allows you to enter many ideas and save them as well as rearrange and use their imagination, critical thinking methods, cognitive thinking skills.

This chapter is very interesting, I do think that in this technological world we are living in today and future generations are coming into, we must utilize any and all tools to teach our classes. Therefore the use of the computer as well as pen, paper are all important. I think that if I am given the opppurtunity to use Inspration in my classroom I will definetly do so. It is such a magnificent tool that I had not been aware of until now. I sure could had used it when I was learning how to use the computer and learning how to write a good paper. I think that the use of computers and software is starting much earlier as compared when I went to school, the early child hood childen are already learning; although I think that it is great, I also wonder if it is the right time to introduce because they have not yet mastered recognition of grammar nor being able to write proficiently. As stated in chapter four this is true for most people and is very important, "In nearly all cases,however, writing remains a complex tasks that will require considerable supervision, encouragement, and, perhaps most of all, frequent and high -quality feedback from teachers."
