Letter Vs Typing A Letter

I would agree with this, as I have seen evidence within my setting, that when situations are presented, children can independently operate technology items used for a specific purpose. I see technology as being part of good practice within our planning to acknowledge the existence of modern technology and its part in children’s lives today, both at home and within my setting.

With developments in technology growing exponentially, teachers must show students how to think critically and problem solve, using factual information as a primary resource. By mastering these skills, students become prepared for their college and careers, which will most likely involve some form of technology that has not yet been invented. This will influence many of the decisions I make as a teacher. Instead of assigning a reading passage and then comprehension questions to answer after, I can encourage students to discuss what they read and make connections to their own lives, research a topic for different perspectives or deeper details, or give students opportunities to present what they know to their peers and me in creative ways.

The research article “The Pen Is Mightier Than the Keyboard: Advantages of Longhand Over Laptop Note Taking” was written by Pam A. Muller and Daniel M. Oppenheimer, and published by the Psychological Science in 2014. The article focuses on a series of previous research on the topic and studies with the goal of providing evidence to answer their two main questions. The first question is which one the two note taking strategies works better and increases academic performance longhand note taking or laptop note taking. The second question is how verbatim overlap (word for word) affects our learning. In the article, three studies were conducted similarly but as the studies were made something new was added to explore new aspects of learning.

It is unfortunate that we will be unable to meet on April 8th. Will you be in the states on April 5th and if so could we possibly meet on April 5th instead of April 8th? If no, April 8th is fine by me, and I will take the NJ transit train from Newark to Princeton.Kind regards,

There is a section for free access to a limited amount of games, videos, and the like, so if cost is a problem one might be able to find something in the free section to enhance their teaching. The site is very user friendly and reliable and the links are in working order and the site is up to date.

In my fifth grade class, we never used computers, unless we were in computer class. I had been on Canvas once before sixth grade and didn't understand it in the least bit, I never thought I would need to use Canvas, (I was wrong.) I didn’t know how to use Powerschool, because I never used it in fifth grade. Also in fifth grade we never typed on computers, it was a big deal if we did, and so I wasn't very good at typing either. Also in fifth grade I didn't have an email, so it was very confusing for the first part of sixth grade.

technology. I will ask the kids why they use their technology and what joy it brings them. Lastly, I will ask (probably just the older kids) if they think that their use of technology changes their relationships with those around them.

Tone is a key to writing a letter. The tone influences the reader by making the letter have emotions. Tone not only helps to make the letter interesting, but tone also helps the reader to know the author's feelings. When tone is used, it makes the reader feel the emotions from the author and that influences the reader to agree with the authors's point of view. Text A and Text B both have different tones that helps the reader be persuaded by the letter.

I have a god-sister in Ms. Wargo's class. Her name I Habin and I would really like to read to her class. I know that some people were moved around so that other classes could be filled, but I would greatly appreciate it if I could be put back in to that class so I can read to Ms. Wargo's class.

You have a great post Haleigh.You are so right about technology in every field. When I first start working at McDonald we had old cash registers when I was there for awhile we got new ones that we had to train on. It was quite hard at first than I got use to it because we had training. At first when I was getting my Associate degree my teachers use to use rubrics I use to hate it at first but now I see why it is important so students can have clarified and expectations of the assignments. I agree about hands on activities it helps the children to problem solve.

Since I am in a kindergarten class doing the communicating in scientific ways poster was not very proper for their age. Missy came up with a friendly kindergarten scientific poster that we could use to do the lesson plan with our students. It was not easy to do this lesson plan because my CT kept changing the date I could do the lesson plan. The day of the lesson plan I had all of the students present. I had all the students make a circle in the carpet area. I ask students, how do scientist think? I let them think first about the question by themselves, then share with an elbow partner, and lastly we share as a whole group. Students had a very good general idea of how a scientist thinks. Of course since it was a kindergarten class some of

A tall, slender woman walks into the classroom. Her slight wrinkles, kind and patient eyes, and salt and pepper hair indicates her lifelong dedication to educating America’s future. She looks over the rows of chattering and smiling young minds. The class was engaged in conversations about last night episode of Teen Titans Go! and what shapes were in their chicken nuggets for dinner. She clapped her hands and called her class to attention; she asked them to get out their homework and starts to go over the answer. Less than ten minutes into the lesson, the class erupted into a boom of ohs and ahs. The teacher turns around to all the children huddled around one child. The teacher parted a section of her pupils and discovered what had stolen her students’ attention from their multiplication lesson. One child held what looked to be a pinwheel without its handle. It fascinated the other students so much that they only returned to their books after the woman confiscated the device. The next day three more kids brought these toys to class and three more the next. Within the week, the entire class was spinning their fidget spinner and the teacher is left to wonder: What is so special about these fidget spinners?

The consistence question is if handwriting really matter? And the answer is yes. According to Maria Konnikova in her articles “what’s lost as handwriting fades” (Konnikova) (2014) stated that when writing it create more brain activity than using any electronic. As a result many study showed that children who are more efficient in there writing skills will continue to gain more skills as an age; for example learning how to read, generate ideas and also the ability to retain information. Konnikova article stated that in (2014) a study was conducted by Karin James a psychologist at Indiana university shows support that children nowadays who writes free hand shows that they are more sophisticated and increased their activity in multiple part

The purpose of this study was to evaluate prejudice attitudes at a rural, public, Midwestern University and its community using the Lost Letter Technique. The process consisted of distributing 150 letters in random locations on campus and in the community. Each letter was fully addressed and stamped in sealed envelopes. When an individual noticed the letter, it appeared to them as a lost letter. Therefore, he or she was left with the option of mailing, disregarding or placing the letter in the trash. Two versions of the lost letter were addressed to specific race organizations that include, African Americans and Native Americans. The third version was addressed to College students, serving as a control group. The focus of this study was to

In a world driven by technology, it is easy to throw away learning methods of the past in favor of following up and coming trends. However, when it comes to writing by hand versus typing, the advantages to learning of writing by hand far outweigh the ease of use of typing. Through academic research of college note-takers and primary students as well as research on how the neuroscience behind hand writing works, it is proven that hand writing is superior to typing for learning.
