Teaching+with+Technology+Week+3

This week has brought out a very significant part of student success - feedback. The one thing that sticks out in my mind from the readings and videos is from the Providing Feedback reading about Mr. Faulk's classroom. Mr. Faulk administers a quiz and hands each student a clicker to answer each question. By using this clicker, the students are able to see instantly how they did on the quiz. I think this is a great idea! In my opinion, in order for a student to succeed in your class you will need to inform them on how they are progressing. If they are kept in the dark, they have no idea how they stand in the class. Also, I feel that providing feedback and/or constructive criticism to the student can help them feel more confident in the classroom.

The videos were very interesting this week. I especially loved Cameron's video. That child has special talent and I have a feeling that we will see him in the future working with film or television. It is so interesting to me to see how people know so many different things regarding technology. I also agree with something that was said many times this week - everybody is learning, not just the students. The saying that "you learn something new everyday" is so true!
