Digital Blog Post #D
After reading chapters eight and ten, I have chosen three different concepts that I really liked and would like to expand on. I believe there are some concepts that ever student not only needs to do, but to do well.
Electronic communication between teachers and students is becoming a more and more useful thing as technology gets further and further in advances. One thing that teacher and students both frequently use are emails and text messaging. With using emails, student tend to be more structured by using things like correct punctuation and grammar. An email that is going to a teacher or student should also have a subject line that is relevant to what the email is actually about. The message itself should be focused and not all over the place. You should also show respect in every message. these all go for both emails and text messages.
Another great concept for teachers that use technology is to make sure that is it for diverse students. Not every students will understand things the same way nor will they learn the same way. We know this because we know there is a difference between visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners. Sometimes it is helpful to use things that will benefit more then one type of learning style though. This could be done by having a powerpoint in the background while the teacher is giving a lecture.
There are so many things that can help transform our writing with the use of technology. One thing that just about everyone uses, is auto-correct. We could go from not having the slightest clue of how to spell a word and thanks to auto-correct, it is right in front if us. All we really have to do is give a little bit or guess of how the word is spelled. One thing that is not to great about auto-correct is that t does not always work.
