What I learned from class today

The teacher in the video implemented technology by using a interactive whiteboard into lessons to encourage participation and active engagement, maintaining and posts on a daily blog for students and parents in a open classroom, students produced own blogs and received feedback from people outside the classroom, and online collaborative projects, she had many students in the classroom with computers.  Going along with these methods we discussed that many of these could be done without technology, but technology can often enhance these things. It is important to evaluate and consider if it is appropriate to use technology it makes doing something better or if it is something you could not do before.  I think that today was a good experience with jigsawing. I think that it is nice to reinforce this strategy and have additional experience with it calling it by name.
