I have read parts of Coolcatteacher's very extensive blog and found her very interesting. She shows how teachers can use technology to motivate their students to learn, which is important today. It would be fair to say that most students use technology as part of their lives whether it is using their phone, tablet, consoles or computer. People of all ages in education are more motivated by their technology than their education, so we need to bring their education to technology. This blogger shows how to take notes electronically, how eBooks can be bought and imported with little cost. She also gives information on new tools of teaching through technology I haven’t even heard of, for instance the Sphero that teaches children how to program in a very fun way. I find it amazing because their skills and abilities are physically shown in front of them rather than on a computer screen where they can’t interact with as much as this. Children want to learn but we need to make it fun, technology playing a big part of our lives so we need to change our education techniques so that children have fun learning and are able to reach their potential.
