Blog Post #How Do We All Become Learners?

Watching the provided videos allowed me to see that no matter how old or how young, no matter your title, we are all still learning on a day to day basis. This is one of the great things about PBL. By providing students with technology and technological resources, educators are now creating an entirely new realm of teaching/learning for their students. By implementing technology within the classroom; students have more resources to learn than ever before. This includes learning from other students and not solely from teachers. PBL allows for students to engage with one another and help each other out when faced with a difficult task. It also allows for teachers to learn from students as well. As the media coordinator for Gulf Shores Elementary pointed out, sometimes the students actually teach educators new skills. By using technology rather than teaching technology we allow a much broader spectrum of learning. Students can now read, watch, and write what they have learned all by using one App, program, or whatever their teacher implements within his or her lesson plan. I know that I personally was in the dark ages of educating until I began this class. The information provided to me this semester in EDU 310 has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that I can personally utilize when I am in the classroom. I know I have a lot more to learn but I am excited about utilizing so many of the skills, apps, programs Etc, that I have learned about these past few months. I am also excite to see the impact I can make on my students by using technology in my classroom.
