Reflection #3

Ok....so somehow I got a little confused and didn't realize that I was suppose to write a reflection on every class.  On November 13th, we covered a great deal of information.  I was given the tools to make a word cloud.  We also watched a video on Singapore 21st Century Teaching Strategies.  I was amazed on how Singapore is teaching their students   Here are some points that I wrote down from the video... *when kids are interested, that's when learning takes place
*we have to find new ways to engage the students
*teachers have to adapt to the new ways of teaching (It kind of intimidates me on how fast technology is taking over the classrooms.) 
*The most important point that stuck out from this video... We need to teach students how to use technology to learn and not to find out what people are doing on a Friday night. 
*Which also goes along with Digital Citizenship....(which I know we will be covering in class)
 This also brought up some questions... Will the schools be able to keep up with the changing world of technology?? Will money be a factor??
