Technologies like internet, facebook, myspace, online ps3 are all parts of informal education. They are also a part of todays communications and according to Dewey "not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication is educative"

I felt as though my mom really concentrated on being creative and less on dates of events.Being able to understand material and later apply it, I feel, helped me remember the material and be able to spit it back out. However, being creative and homeschooled has not helped my spelling ability :o(


 * Discovery Education - United Streaming**
 * The students can travel and be exposed to all different parts of the world without leaving the classroom. They can view pictures and get ideas on what types of pictures (as a photography teacher) they would want to take or which places they would want to go, if they were given an opportunity to go to these places.
 * I choose to discuss this one because this has always been a favorite story of mine. Being able to understand the story and then watch actual footage of the times makes the story all the more "real" in your mind. This was always the most fascinating part of history for me and I would hope having the students view this would make history enjoyable and interesting to them.
 * Writing is such a huge part os school and many times students still can't write when they get to college. Having good topics to write about and learning good writing techniques will help students become better writers and allow them to use their imagination and learn to write for enjoyment.
 * Watching all these clips and viewing the photographs made learning fun. Adding them to the curriculum allows students to go on the internet and "surf". It's good social networking and is "up to date". It's something different to do in a classroom which will help the students be more motivated!
 * In skating you have different coaches teach different ways (for example my jump coach Jeff is very kinetic and will physically move your body to the position me wants it in. Barbara is auditory and will call out footwork edges and expect you to just do it and Julie is visual, she will draw out, on the ice, a pattern she wants you to do while executing a particular element) Children can learn all 3 ways and using this website allows you to learn about a topic whichever way works best for them. Students can read a piece, listen to a clip or watch and do something.
