Creating Personal Networks

Wow! This seemed so complicated but I guess for our emerging youth this is typical for use in the classroom. However I would be surprised to see this type of education in the Mobile County Public School system with all the cut backs and the fact that Mobile, AL seems to be behind the trends these days. My children attend private school and although they are incorporating technology in projects and reports, we haven't seen anything like this. I'm not sure I can explain this right but I will try. The teacher gives the students a topic or list of topics and the students are to go on line and find different kinds of information and report on it. They then create a blog to report on what they found and then their classmates respond with feedback. This is to teach them how to research and find different venues to explore when trying to find information. This could actually be a great tool for our children to learn. I think this is a great interactive activity that the kids can do. The teacher could put the kids in groups so that they can help each other. They use the computers at school for this project so everyone can have access to the same material. Also if the kids were put in groups they could work together outside of the classroom by meeting at one another's houses. This would give the kids who do not have computers the opportunity to have access to the information needed and also create new friendships that otherwise might not have formed. I really like this idea. There is so much we can do with this idea. I guess with everything, when imagination is used we can make anything a positive instead of a negative.
