Tip # 5 - Find What You Need

Freecycle.org is a great website to find reusable materials to use for instruction purposes and to help provide students with the materials. This element is important because people need to understand that teachers' as much as students' can take advantage of the internet. Depending on where a teacher works, will determine the amount of materials that will be available for the teacher for teaching. By using sites like freecycle.org, will give the teacher an opportunity to find materials elsewhere.

Creating a New Culture of Teaching and Learning article response

The article describes the importance of teachers/students knowing how to use technology, and how it impacts students. I agree with the author of the article in respect to not letting technology take over learning. The author stated, "What's flowing through the wires, what's flowing through the boxes is more important than the wires and the boxes" which is true because the most important part of education is teaching effectively. What I found most interesting about the article is the live video recording in classrooms. I wouldn't mind having a video camera in the classroom, as a matter of fact that's a great idea because like the author said it will enforce teachers to evaluate what they're doing. My opinion on technology is that it shouldn't be taken advantage of, instead it should enhance teaching not take over it. I think in order for the students to understand how to use the internet properly they should be required to take a "technology" or information communications class to use the internet effectively. The most important thing I took from the article was that teachers and students need to understand the dark side of technology/internet.
