This cartoon depicts a boy and his mother. The mother really does not have much of an understanding of any forms of technology. She tends to rely on her son to help her use technology on a daily basis. In Chapter 1 Dewey states, "Society exists through a process of transmission quite as much as biological life. This transmission occurs by means of communication of habits of doing, thinking and feeling from the older to the younger." I certainly agree with Dewey's statement, however, I feel that transmission and communication between the young and the old is a two way street. While I think most transmissions occur from older to younger, I think that younger people have a lot to offer to older people, especially in our world today and in the form of technological knowledge.

My Wordle represents my reflection of our Webinar on social and emotional learning. Social and emotional learning should be emphasized in schools, just as classic academic learning is. I feel that it is more important than ever for schools to emphasize social and emotional learning. This is especially true in our world where two parents working long hours is the norm. I also focused on the benefits of positive reinforcement. I am a strong believer in the use of positive reinforcement with children.

This wonderful video on voting was created as a project by 4th and 5th graders. The details of the project are not available, but the students clearly created an advertisement trying to persuade people to vote. I really like how throughout the advertisement the students focused on and explained many of the wonderful rights we have in this country related to the right to vote.
