This week we took some pictures using a digital camera. This has definitely been one of the most useful inventions that has occurred during my lifetime. It is crazy that now instead of being limited to how many pictures you take, and having to get them developed in order to see what they look like; you can take hundreds of pictures, and not only see them instantly, but also delete or edit them.
Digital Camera's will also be very helpful in communicating with parents, because I can easily take pictures in class and then send home CD's of pictures, and the parents can see what we have been working on. I can also see myself putting together an end of the year slide show, to help parents see how much their child has grown during the year. Digital Camera's are a huge resource, and the only problem I can see is that me being behind a camera could distract the kids.
This week's video's I thought were amazing! It always surprises me at how creative people can get with videos on youtube. I especially liked the video of the 10 things you don't learn in college about teaching because it definitely applies to my life right now. :) I am trying to decide if teaching is the right profession for me, and talking to people who have been there, or hearing about the experiences of others always helps. I thought a lot of their comments were hilarous, and I can see how following these pieces of advice could make my life as a teacher easier. :) The mash up was also way cool, and I can definitely see how using something similar to this would be really fun for students. I think they would definitely be more engaged, and enjoy learning about the subject more.
