media type="custom" key="4379301"The graph shows how I learned in high school 30 plus years ago. I remember that to get good grades I need to remember things and do well on the tests. I remember that the technolgy back then was electric typerwriters. Personal computers did not exist and things were done hand written and drawn. However if I would do another graph the creating scale would be higher, because as I learned going back to college a few years ago, being creative in what I know is what I should be doing to then apply this to my lessons in education. In addition. using technology to make lessons interesting and creative for all my students.

I was trying to show that yes we learn from our elders as Dewey describes in chapter one, however as the elders we too are learning. As time goes on in life so does education grow especially in technology. Making this strip was a challenge in that I had trouble navigating through the set up and pictures. I kept clicking on a button changing the cartoon to a video and then I had to start over again 3 times, but I kept going and I think it is ok. Technolgy is good when it works!!! Hooray it's done!!!

After viewing many segments on the Discovery Education web video resources there are many avenues as a teacher that this resource is useful and helpful when developing lessons plans for all subject matters. As a special edcuastion teacher many times students need visual aids for comprehension of new skills. Having this resource students can review when needed as well as the teacher having the access to showing interesting facts about the world. I looked at math, english, writing, social studies, and study skills. The web resources also have on line tests included, A teacher can use these as review for the lesson and students can recieve immediate feed back on thier understanding of the lesson. The video resources available on this web site can be used in power point presentations. As a teacher today we are encouraged to using technology in our lessons and to add this make things very interesting for students to holdtheir attention. The web also provides resources for teacher lesson plans which one can use in their professional portfolio to show professional devlopmental growth in technology.
