Becoming a Digital Teacher

Here we go again!

The semester has just started and I am half way done with my time here at Mount Saint Mary College. I am excited to start all my new classes and get to know my teachers. In the first week of classes we spent a lot of time going over the course syllabus and getting to know our classmates and teacher. In Social Studies Methods with Dr. Smirnova we used online websites to help us share information about ourselves with the rest of the class. This was a fun and different way to get to know the other students in the class and I also learned about many different websites that can also be used in a classroom setting. Below is a video link that was recommended by Dr. Smirnova.

Visions of Students of Today

Reflection of the Video:

This video shows that though students a go to school and sit in these classrooms they are not in engaged in what they are learning. With all the new technology it is hard for some people to sit and listen to lectures that are not interesting to them. This is a problem that students face and teachers need to come up with ways to get their students engaged and interested in what is being taught. This is not an easy task to accomplish, but it is important.
