Carpe Diem - Google Drive

This assignment was to listen to a short 25 minutes webinar and answer the following question listed below.

1. How prepared for you to engage in each type of learning (Carpe Diem vs St. Marys)? I am prepared to engaged in both types of learning with CarpeDiemSchools.com and www.smriders.net.  Course 585 Educational Technology Applications has enhance my technology skills to implement additional technology skills for students.

2. Provide specific examples including devices and apps or software, of what you are currently    doing in each model if you are teaching.  I am currently not teaching.

3. If you not in the class now, what would you suggest teachers in your field adopt based on current knowledge of mobile/wireless devices. I would suggest to teachers if permitted by your administrative team to utilize Smartphones.  School districts should consider investing in Android Tablets.  They are becoming very popular in the technology world.

4. What would you recommend in terms of a school wide initiative to improve teaching and learning at this point if you were in a position to do so? I would recommend that teachers incorporate more technology in the classrooms.

5. A mixture of the 2 models (Carpe Diem vs St. Marys) is probably in everyone’s future. How do you see executing your version of the blend in your field?  I see myself being flexible with both models. 

I learned that technology will become the future for teaching our students.   There are some school districts with available funds who implement technology daily.  They understand students are more involve in technology. 

If you view some of the Vtech, a electronic learning toy company, they are making learning from birth to 8 years old fun to learn.  Therefore, kids learn how to operate technology, and have fun at the same time.
