PLN SIX

Recently I read the article http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/09/is-it-okay-to-be-technologically.html. This article talks about how teachers need to be technologically literate. Karl Fisch believes that all teachers need to be up to date in technology. I agree with this for several reasons. Teachers need to realize that technology is advancing and they need to learn how to use it.

Technology has grown immensly over the past few years. If teachers do not learn how to use this technology than they will fall behind. They will not be able to teach their students bout the ways of the internet and their students will become tecnologically iliterate as well. Living in the 21st century, technology has become so impprtant. Without technology we would be no where.

Teachers and students need to keep up with tecnology. Technology is growing and we have to grow with it. Learning about technology and computers will benefit everyone. In the future we will be able to do things with computers that we have never been able to do before. Technology is especially important for college students. College students use technology daily, and if they don't learn about it in high school they will be lost throughout college.

Teacher knowing the ways of technology will better the learning enviroment for the students. If the students are more literate on technology than the teacher what is the student getting from it? The teacher has to be able to teach the student about new things on the computer or other devices. Technology can help a lot in the classroom, especially laptops. Laptops make it so much easier to learn in the classroom. If teachers don't know how to use them then how are the students supposed to?

You did a very good job presenting. You made good eye contact with the audience and were very clear. You were very confiden and had many good points

alexe said...

Good presentation, next time make more eye contact. Also try not to just read of your paper. Besides that good job

kellyS said...

You spoke good and clear. Try not to read straight from a peice of paper and work on eye contact. You did good on going into detail and making connections. Maybe try to shorten and just summarize your entries when sharing, good job on the second one but the first one was a little long. Great job Alena!!!

Anna K said...

Alena, you did a very good job! I agree with all your points! you did a really good job on sounding confident! One thing that you could consider is to keep more eye contanct with everyone. Great job!

seand said...

Alena, I think you did a really good job on your presentation because you followed directions very well and gave good details. You explained all of you entries well and did what you were asked to do.

Jackie N said...

Alena, your summary of your blog was really good and I liked how you didn't read to fast but the pace you went was good. I think you could have had more eye contact but overall, you did very well.

Josh TS said...

You had a very exclent presenation and you were also well prepaired however you occasionally paused.

annies said...

Alena! Good job talking about your blog entries. But I think that you should have more eye contact. Also, good job not talking too fast. Well done!

laurene said...

Alena! I think you did an amazing job. You had a lot of details in your entries which was helpful to me and the other classmates because we understood it more. Your voice was slow, steady, and clear which was also very good because I could hear you and understand you. I think though that you need a little more eye contact, but other than that good job!

angelicao said...

You did a good job because you looks at the audience and you speaks loud enough for everyone to hear.She explained all of her pln entries very well.

DennisRocks said...

Good job,I agree, people of America and the world should remember the terriable event. So many people suffered, so they need to be remembered. Next time, try to not sound so rushed.

Alena, good job. I agree with you that we should remember about 9/11. It is important to remember this event. I also agree with you that we need to bring our troops home, they have been over there for to long. The U.S SHOULD look into the future of our future. I also agree that paying for grades is not that great of an idea, and you had a good point about how we can't rely on money to succed in our own education. Overall, great PLN's, just make more eye contact.

mmg said...

Alena, you did a good job on getting ready to present infront of the class. You also had a nice loud voice for the whole class to hear you, but the only thing that you need to work on is to look more at the class instead of the paper. Besides that you did a really good job.

joeyw said...

Alena I thought you did a good job presenting your PLN's and you had very good backup points to prove what you were saying.

ethan l said...

I though it was a very good presentation. I liked how you talked about everyone of your entrys. I thought you were very well prepared.

samh said...

Alena I think you did an over all good job! You had a confident, well heard voice and you spoke very clearly. I also like how you specifically related each entry to your life. One think you can improve one is eye contact.

Averee said...

I like how you incorporated all of you PLNs into your presentation. You spoke really evenly and I couldn't even tell you were nervous (if you even were!)
At first, you didn't show much eye contact, but after a while, you started looking up a little more, so good job.

laurenp said...

You had a nice clear voice and you were very organized with your presentation. I really liked your presentation and how you talked about all of your entries. You did a great job!

adama said...

I think you did a very good job. You very very fluent and you knew what you were talking about.

alenav said...

Their were definatly things that I think I could have improved on in my presentation. The thing that I need to work on most I think is looking up. Making more eye contact will improve my presentaion.
