Games, Virtual Reality, and Simulations

As I explored for Games, Virtual Reality, and Simulations I stumbled across many types online. When I was become familiar will some of the programs, I notice there is a lot of uses. They can be used to boost the interest of the students in the subject. Students can also explore the programs at their own pace and interest level. This is effective because we are going to have students of different levels in the classroom. A high learning student will be able to quickly pick up the material and move at their pace and the slow at his pace. This will be more effect then teaching a lesson to the middle and losing the other groups. You can make the program a supplement to the lesson and still hold students accountably for the information gathered. Besides doing all of the fore mentioned the programs can be fun and create competition between students, for the ones that like that. Games, Virtual Reality, and Simulations have many practical purposes, we need to simply explore and discover.

Tech in the Classroom

Podcasting & Aggregators
I think that podcasting is something great that everyone should take part in. I feel that it adds so much to the way that we do things. I know for a fact that people have lessons that you can take and play for the students. Podcasting is blowing up and if I has many practical adaptations for a social studies setting. As far as the students go they love new things and will take to it, you could also play a lesson when a sub comes in. This is stuff that is here to stay. The fact that you can get so much information in one deal is great. It is new technology and like any new technology it can be overwhelming.

Broadcasting, Cable, the Internet, and Beyond

This is an article that talks about all of the technological developments that we have gone threw. It starts with the development of connecting America and the role that ISP played in this role. We will get the birth of the World Wide Web and things, as we know it will be forever changed. They tell us about plugs and emails and how widely used they are. Portals are thing like Google and yahoo and we have all heard of these. They hit upon the huge impact that peer-to-peer sharing has had on us. The webs is change how we work we get our, news from the web, our movies, everything.

It is great to see how all of this stuff came to be it gives us a better understanding of the technology that we used. When I tell a student to go to Google and find something I know why and how it came to be. As far as the internet is concerned it is to big to be going anywhere anytime soon but up. There is going to be more and more information that is going to be on the net. Which will allow us as teachers to give students more option to explore. That is what history is exploring the past
