When I become a future educator

This video is fascinating.  It is just great that this school has assigned an iPad for each student.   Teachers are seeing a lot of difference and improvement on their student's grades.  They say that iPads have been very effective and the title of the video is “School trades paper for iPads.”  It is very nice in the way that each student of this school was assigned an iPad.  Teachers have also seen immediate benefits in their students test scores as well.  I hope that one day when I become a teacher I have to same opportunity in my school as these teachers do, and my students have the same opportunity as these students do.  

ipad for teachers

I adore this motivating video.  It demonstrates ten top reasons in why it is crucial to use technology in education like using iPads, computers etc.  The number one reason is because students love it.  The second reason using technology in the classroom engages the four key components to learning.  Number three is about professional development.  Number four is making life easier for teachers.  Number five is that it improves test score.  The sixth reason of using technology in the classroom is that it helps students with low attention spans for example I am becoming an ESL teacher it is very handy for me to use an ipad and important because I can show pictures for examples if they don’t understand a word.   Number seven is to learn from the experts.  Number eight is that it encourages homework.  Number nine is saves money. The last reason is that it removes obstacles.

ipads in Africa

This video stands fascinating to me.  Meanwhile I saw the title: Revolutionizing Education: iPad in South African Schools.  I then became even more curious to watch the video and I thought wow even in deprived countries, people are using ipads so I became very attracted in watching this video and I am very pleased to share this video with you.  This video is an overview of how iPads are being used to enhance learning, encourage engagement and motivate South African learners.

Learning a new language

I found this app very interesting into learning a new language in this case Hebrew.  It has a dictionary and you can also hear the pronunciation and the spelling of the language.  Since I love learning a new language I liked this app.  It is interesting how many apps for leaning are online.  Technology has improved and it has improved into learning videos, apps, a lot. If one can afford an Ipad it is very easy for that person to learn a new language, math lessons, reading a book and so many other things.

Best device in the world

This video is funny, I would like to share it with you guys.  Another thing that Ipads are great for is their battery.  I take my Ipad everywhere and the battery last so long and a phone would never last this long.  It is useful in learning because in case you forget to charge it you can still use it because it lasts so long.  For example, if teachers allow students to use an Ipad in the classroom it wouldn't be a problem if they forgot to charge it one day because without a doubt it can last for one day so the students can use it for learning, reading or doing math problems.  I liked this video especially in the beginning when this guy says, I love this device, I have the best device in the world!

Everyone uses an Ipad

  This video shows that an iPad can be a useful learning tool for all ages, and it  has  real life examples of how kids learn in school.  The teachers explain how an iPad helps them read, and how students that are visual learners benefit a lot from an iPad.  This video shows parents, students, teachers, neuroscientist etc.  It shows that everyone can use an Ipad and it is very helpful in every way.  People say it makes life easier and they use it everyday. 

 

Presenting myself online

It is very important to know that some people are different online than in person. For example, some people are very shy in person than they are online. Maybe this happens because they cant see people face to face but they are just able to have conversations. I would think that a lot of people are afraid to make eye contact with other people but when they have conversations on Facebook or online they know that you can't see them so they are not afraid of speaking. As for me I am the same person online and face to face. Sometimes I might feel better online because I know that, that person I am having a conversation with is not watching me so I can express myself better. For example in Facebook I have some cousins who say something and then I just think to myself and I know that if they were face to face with me they wouldn't say it the way they said it online.

my little daughter learning to write her name

This week was very interesting.  This week my little daughter learned to write her name on the ipad.  The app is "educreations."  I love this app because my daughter not only learned how to write her name but she is also learning the alphabet, for example writing the letters.  She also learned how to draw on this app.  I also had some fun with her drawing, teaching her how to write letters.  I think this app is very educational and makes children smarter.  Educreations turns our iPad into a recordable whiteboard.  It also creates a great video tutorial, and it is as simple as touching, tapping and talking. It is great for explaining math formulas as well, for example a math teacher can find it very helpful.  It adds commentary to photos, also creating an animated lesson would help.  I find this app very helpful.  This video shows us how kids can play, I liked it.
