I thought the Pitler reading assignment
was good. I have always stressed to my
students that putting forth effort will help them in their studies and whatever
activities they choose to do later in life.
I liked the spreadsheet idea and have students see what effort looks
like and asks them to rate how much effort they put forth in their classes. This
is a great idea and students can see for themselves the relationship between
effort and their grades.
The
videos were interesting and got me inquiring about the future of
education. We have to be ready to allow
students the freedom to take ownership of their education. However, we must
also be aware of the dangers of using digital media in our classroom. The Howard Gardner video was good in
explaining why teachers have to model
the safe and ethical way to use digital media in the classroom. I think his five
ethical issues are important, and all
people who use digital media should utilize them. Good Play is to look at five ethical issues, sense of
identity, sense of privacy, sense of ownership-authorship, trustworthiness and
credibility, and what it means to participate in a community (Edutopia, nd).
