Flipped+Videos

FLIPPED VIDEOS I have to say that I really have mixed feelings about technology in the classroom. I understand that it is important in many ways. I myself would not be able to take this class if it wasn’t for the online learning. I can remember as a child how we would watch videos of projects that we would be performing in the next scheduled class meeting. It appeared to be simple then. Maybe because I am older is the reason why my feelings are different. Children now days are brought into this world with a cell phone. They don’t know how it is to go without technological devices. How would our children survive if all technological devices were turned off for a day. I am not saying that we shouldn’t use it for our students because it does open up new doors for learning. When traditional learning is too difficult for a student. I do believe it should be monitored on how much it is used. I still believe students should learn that 2+2=4 while using their brains instead of pulling out a calculator.
