Personality Profile Test

I do think that students have different learning styles because of their personality because your personality reflects who you are and what interests you. We select the things that we pay attention to based on what interests us and how we feel that we can connect to those things. This is also how we learn. We learn about and pay attention to those things that we can somehow identify with or that interests us.

I think that personality profilinf would be very beneficial to teachers and students because it gives teachers an opportunity to understand and somewhat empathize with the students learning style based on their personality. The teacher can use this to create lesson plans that cator to the students learning styles and personalities, which will help students learn more.

Inspiration and the textbook

Writing is an essential tool used throughout our lives. It is the building block toward typing. First, we have to think it then we began writing it in elementary school and then we move on to typing papers in high school. In order to make writing fun teachers have to attract students. Make the lesson fun for students to participate in by making the writing process an all inclusive process. One way to do this is through the inspiration program. The inspiration program would allow students to use visual concept maps to layout the ideas behind their writing papers. It allows them the oppurtunity to use technology to express their thoughts and to visually make connections as the student moves through his or her thinking process. Other programs students can use to express themselves while learning is the poetry forge program. This technological program allows students access to open source writing tools for the English classroom. These open source tools include a metaphor generator and a tool for building new poems. This may be very useful in an English when the teacher is trying to teach poetry and figurative language. I think that one way to teach at an accelerated rate is through peer feedback so maybe the teacher could create a blog where students post their work and require at least 2 student response for each assignment. Maybe the teacher could create her own class webite group on a social network like facebook and allow students to respond to each others work individually in private boxes if the student doest want other students to know. Peer feedback can be used to enhance learning because students may be more responsive to the opinions of their classmates than to the teachers or the student feedback may have a different perspective than the teachers which may in term help the student to be able to look at the way he or she writes in a new way and will help the student grow as a writer. Student feedback should be praised and encouraged.

Inspiration

I was very surprised to hear bout the inpiration program on windows and other computer programs. I had never heard of it before. I think that it is an excellent way and easier way for students to organize data for projects assigned to them in class. It is also an excellent tool to teach students how to understand and use diagrams. Teachers can utilize this program to make their own personal data for students to observe. I think that so often teachers rely on verbal communication and oral teaching skills, but by using this program teachers will use a more visual learning setting, which may be very beneficial to the students. If they are visual learners they are more likely to remember what they saw rather than what they hear. In addtion, some students understand better if they are show how something works rather than just hearing it orally. I think that this program would be a perfect way to implement visual learning and to effectively teach students how to record research data including showing diagrams and charts to show comparison.

Incorporating chapter 6 technologies in the curriculum

I think that teachers should use games and other technologies to spark the interest of students. One technology in particular is the knowledge forum 4 technology. This technology would be useful in implementing SAT real life sitatuation based science and math problems because this sytem has a database where notes are stored, ideas are connected, and knowledge is produced. In this way students are allowed to examine real life situations that deal with science and math and are able to share and observe their classmates information and learn from each situation.

I also think that the wifi system can be used to implement games that outline important SAT vocabulary words for the high school and middle school level and spelling words at the elemetary level. Numerous students learn from repetition and actually seeing a picture of the word in action. If students are given an opportunity to see a verbal representation of the SAT words or spellings he or she may understand the word better and be able to define it better.

I also think that teachers should incorporate discussion bloggs for the class to express their opinions and concerns about the class. This gives those shy students a chance to interact with theh class.

My opinion on blogs

I think that blogs are a very good way to connect with today's youth in an educational atmostphere. Youth always feel that teachers and parents do not fully understand them, but by using the technologies that they are most familiar with teachers show students that they can relate to the students in a sense and allows the students to express themselves in a way they feel more comfortable. I think that bloggs will be more helpful in allowing students to communicate with the teacher because not all students are comfortable addressing the teacher face to face. A blogg gives a student more freedom to voice his or her opinion without being ostracized by the teacher verbally because the student could possibly post anonymously. I think that too often teachers condemn the new technologies students lose and underestimate the usefulness of these tools, but I think that the best way to get the students attention is by giving them a challenge in the environment they are most comfortable. If students are comfortable on computers using bloggs then teacher should incoporate bloggs into the curriculum because students will be interested in the education and will learn more.
