Learning styles 2.0
My formative years in school did not have any technology based learning save for the overhead projector, mimeograph, and start of the VCR. Off-site televised teaching was just starting and seemed space-age and wondrous.To have the advantage of "meeting" different ethnicities, cultures, etc seems invaluable. So often, especially as teenagers, we lose sight of the world outside our own little bubble. By having the experience of others broadcast in the classroom seems like an experience adults should undertake as well.In addition, the web and the like, can offer education to almost anyone, especially those in the most remote regions and those who may not have had it before.It is a priceless aspect to the education world.Posted on Tuesday, Sep 23, 2008, 06:38 PM (UTC -4)

About Me

- Augiedog
- In a former life I was a pastry chef. After getting my BA in Creative Writing I realized I needed more education. Thus, grad school in secondary ed ELA. My future holds an interesting, and hopefully fulfilling, career with students who will benefit from my desire to teach as well as to learn. My additional purpose is to get cracking on my first novel--I imagine I will gain much needed material to write about in a high school forum.

It is is so amazing, isn't it?! The idea that technology has both made the world both a very large and very small place. I am absolutely enthralled by the idea of a group of students in my class collaborating on an authentic assignment with a group of students across the world. How fortunate to be part of education in this time...
