PLN entry 1

I read an article called "Classrooms For The Future" by David Warlick and i have to say i agree with him. Classrooms should have all the technology he stated such as
one laptop per student desk (cart of 25)
a teacher laptop
a printer/scanner
imaging software
productivity software
a web cam
an electronic whiteboard
a projector
up to three digital still cameras (per eligible school)
up to five digital video cameras (per eligible school)
Infrastructure (wireless network, servers)
technical support

This maters because we have all this technology at our fingertips so why not use it in the classrooms.
in my opinion education would increase a lot.

I think you did a good job of using details in your presentation. You put in a hyperlink like we were asked so tat was another thing that you did well. You could have probably written more about the subject and how you feel about it. One other thing that I noticed is that most of the writing was just buller points from the article. I think that they could have been a little more writing of your own in the entry.

Josh, I like how you made your main points in your presentation, I think it could have been longer and that more eye contact might have been better. But you still did a good job.

Josh, good presentation, you spoke clearly. But next time try and make your next PLN a little longer and give more detail, besides that good job.

Josh! nice job doing your presentation. You were loud and clear which is always good and you had good eye contact with the class.

You did a good job on speaking fluently and clear. Try not to look off the screen. Maybe be a little more prepared. Good job on connecting it to this class. Make it a little longer and go into more detail about the article and "what matters".

I think you did a good job Josh. I agree with having a lot of technecal thing in our classrooms. I also think that your right about teaching kids how to use these types of thing becuase in the future e will have to learn how to do them anyway so why not learn now. Good job.

I think you did a very good job presenting. Later on you should make it a little longer and have a litle bit more to work with. other then that you did a good job

Josh, I think you did good on speaking. I think that you should be more organized and talk about more than what you did.

adama said...

It was very short but was very to the point and you knew what you were talking about and didn't say um and those kinds of things.

Averee said...

I really liked your presentation. You spoke very clearly, and didn't talk a mile a minute. It was a little short, but very clear. Good job!

Josh, I think you made alot of good points about how we do have so much technology in our world and we should defidently use it in the class rooms.

Anna K said...

Josh you did a good job! I agree with you that classrooms should have more technology available to the students. Maybe you can make it longer and explain more =)

I think you could have elaborated on this more, maybe try to relate this idea to you. Try not to look on the screen when you are talking, but it went really smoothly.Good job!

annies said...

Josh! Good job relating to the article. You did a good job talking about examples of technology, that we don't enough of it. So it all goes to waste. But I do think you could have made your presentation a little longer but good job anyway.

DennisRocks said...

good job on your presentation- maybe next time, you should make it a little longer.

samh said...

Josh, I think you did a good job talking about the way you felt about the article and I agree with you. I think we need to use technology more in classrooms aswell. Good job of listing exaples of the different forms of technology we could be using!

ethan l said...

It was pretty short but it was good and you hadd a good point. I like how you listed all the things and didn't just say that they had a lot of technology.

laurenp said...

Josh you presentation was not very well organized, but I liked how your voice was very clear and you weren't going at a fast pace. Next time I think you should add more to you presentation, but I also liked the way you gave examples.
good job
