Weekly Reading

I read an article from eschoolnews.com. I thought it was a sad topic but at the same time one that would be relative to our class. This article was about the death of Steve Jobs. For those that don't know who Steve Jobs is, he was an important man for technology to this day. He was the creator and inventor of Apple Incorporation. These products include the Mac Computers in our class to Iphones that some people use frequently each and every day. He co-founded this product back in 1973 and these products have come a long way to being arguably the top product on the market. Steve Jobs always spoke about wanting to "make a dent in the universe." He certainly has achieved his goal. I'm sure even though Steve Jobs has passed, people of the company will always try their best to keep Apple Products to be the best that they could possibly be.
Technical Skills
This week I put my standards on for Project 1: Come to the Edge. I didn't know how to do it but got some help from one of my peers. She showed me how to do it. It was good knowing that my peers are there for my help and of course I would help hem with the knowledge that I know. I found it to be very convenient that the link was automatically posted and all you had to do was just click which standard you wanted.
Field Observation
Today was my second field observation and technology was completely disregarded. Technology can't be used too much because teachers need to go back to the basics of teaching certain lessons at times which I found to be very understandable and reasonable. Since I observe twice a week, there is a possibility that they try not to incorporate technology too much when I am present, so that I can interact more with the class. I'm sure they use technology daily because my host teacher does think it is a helpful resource for students to use to advance their learning abilities. My favorite activity using technology that the class uses is tallying what everyone is eating for lunch on the SMART Board. Its very clever and creative and the kids love it.
