Digital Media is a pretty interesting thing. The book mentioned the new "digital age". It's funny because I remember thinking when was younger and imagining that in the future we would be like the Jetson's. Well digital media has definatly advanced, but I wouldn't consider us the Jetson's just yet. A a future educator I plan to use power points and create web pages for the parents. Although I will be teaching second grade, I think that the use of power point is way more exciting than just using a chalk board. As a teacher for elementary school students we have to remember that we are almost seen as entertainers. Thinking of different ways to teach the children and keepingthem captivated enough to learn the material. This is why I think CBT (Computer Based Training) is an interesting new way of learning for children.
This the last class I learned about to create web pages. I think this is very useful because it becomes more accessible to parents. They don't have to worry if Johnny lost the news letter on the way home. Although I must say that I did have some difficulties creating the page, I did find it very useful.
Extra Stuff: I hope technology can become a bit more simplified because I am definately not a computer person!
*God Bless*
