Two More for the Roll

I searched for blogs that interested me and that might also be relevant to others in our class. I found two blogs that I really liked: Living Montessori Now and Teacher SOL.

Living Montessori Now is a blog that explains the Montessori Curriculum. It discusses different resources and how to use them in the Montessori Curriculum. I chose to share this blog because I am interested in the Montessori Curriculum and enjoy learning all I can about it. I also thought others might be interested in this blog.

Teacher SOL is a great resource blog for special education teachers and teachers that have children who need special accomodations in their classroom. This blog has great advice and tips for special education teachers. It also has interesting articles that have to do with special education, modified lesson plans for special education, and much more. Check it out!

My Beliefs about Technology and Learning

I believe that technology should be used in the classroom. A teacher should not soley rely on technology in order to teach. But instead, technology should be used as another teaching method in order to reach more students in a teacher's classroom. I think that if technology is used in the right way it can be a great help to both the teacher and the students but it can also be a hinderance to learning if the teacher is not properly explaining how to effectively use it or overuses it. In today's world, students need to know how to use technology in order to be a part of society. We use it constantly and I believe that it is almost impossible not to have to use it.

Check out this video I found about a teacher who was teaching an Algebra class to students who had never had success in math until she used technology to teach this class.
