Learning in the new age

Jenny's Learning Journal

I recently read a post that Jenny She posted most recently her thoughts on her class' new adventure. iPads in the classroom. She said she was a little overwhelmed and excited about the idea.
So far it has turned out that over all she is enjoying them. She has been able to use the many different resources that the iPad offers. She has also been able to use them as a way of rewarding her students for good behavior and for meeting goal.

This is the comment I left for her.

Personally I think the use of devices such as the iPad offer some more individual type attention. I may not be a person standing there with them, but the computer is able to tell them if it is right or wrong. If it is right then it reinforces the correct answer and gives rewards. If it is wrong it will inform them that it is incorrect and encourages them to try again. If they still struggle it will so them the correct answer/way a task should be done.


At an earlier date in time she took the time to share her thoughts on the use of google+ in the classroom. It is worth the read and this is the comment I left for her.

Ms. She,

I don't have a whole lot of personal experience with google plus, I use different applications for my social networking. I will say this, that google+ has been very beneficial in this EDM310 class. It allows us to meet only once a month and still keep in touch with each other, the lab assistants, and Dr. Strange. It has definitely been a learning experience and a pretty enjoyable one at that.
