Comments for Kids
For my comments for kids this week I had to view "Team One Rock Stars" page, and I commented on Calais's post. It stated, "I am waiting by the ladder. I have to take turns because it's the Pt. England Way." It also had a wonderful picture of a person waiting patiently. I really enjoyed this school's blog.
"Dear Kaia" and "Singing Hearts"
This week we read three blog posts and each one related to another. To begin with a man and his daughter, who live in Qatar, go outside one day and take pictures of their surroundings. Her dad is trying to teach her to start taking a closer look at the world around her. So the little girl does and posts a blog about what she finds outside and then creates a photo essay which she posts in her blog. Next an eighth grade class in Missouri finds her blog and watches her photo essay and begins to comment on her blog. But it did not stop there; they became more curious about the world that Jabiz Raisdana (father) and Kaia (daughter) live in, so help solve their curiosity Jabiz offered to skype the class in Missouri and answer questions about his home land.
This is a wonderful example of how technology links worlds together inside the class room walls and expands our learning ability outside of our normal realm. Instead of simply reading a book or article about this place, they were able to interact and have their questions answered personally.
I believe that this will soon be the new ways of education. This is a wonderful thing to take place because people will be more active with learning. The saying, “education has no limits,” is now becoming true with the help of technology!
