Today, the presentation on the chapter we read prior to this class was reinforcing. It reinforced what I learned and have me new insights on the topics discussed. It was interesting to hear other people's perspectives on home schooling and distance education. These two topics are the most controversial to me and I consider myself more on the cons side for both of these topics; however, it was interesting to hear the pros opinion and made me more open minded. The K12 site that was introduced to us today, that went along with the home schooling debate, was an insightful new resource.
In addition, all of the contemporary issues were very interesting. I learned something new from each comtemporary issue. I did not know that they were considering using a new test in place of the FCAT, which probably would be more beneficial than the FCAT. And, I never thought to use a touch screen computer to accommodate for different children's abilities. Also, the cool tools presentations were cool and new to me. I really like the twiddla and the go-animate site, and I have added all of them to my delicious page to use as resources in the future. Overall, I learned about a lot of new resources and technological tools to use as well as new insights about the chapter we read for this week.
