This stand alone presentation about digital natives and the new media in today's age tries to explain what we must face as current users of digital media, and future educators of students born into this digital age. We have a responsibility to learn new tools and resources to use for our students. They should be provided an education that uses traditional learning skills as well as new digital tools to prepare them for success in the world. Technology is constantly changing and we must keep up and help our students learn. We might also learn from them in the process!
Students born into today's times are at an advantage to learn with tools we didn't have as students. We need to provide them with the safety, skills, and information they need to use these tools correctly and to help improve themselves as well as others. They are educators of digital literacy as well!
Polly, I really enjoyed your presentation. I felt like your presentation had a much better flow than mine and the ideas of each slide really connected to the slide that came next. I felt like I was reading a story and I also thought that each slide was easily read.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching your presentation. I think you did a good job explaining what you were what you were trying to explain. We as teachers owe it to our students to learn new technology so we can teach them the new technology. Most of your slides were easy to read; sometimes the font was smaller making it a little harder to read, but not impossible. I thought your pictures represented your text rather well. After reading the text, I then read the picture. Some of the images were smaller than the others, but again, not impossible to see. I liked the music you chose as well. Overall, very nicely done!
