3-D Printing in Our Schools.

      3-D printing is a great tool that can be accesible to classroom teachers if the proper funding is administered. 3-D printing allows children to have an educational creative outlet. This new inventive learning tool allows children to think creativly to create something they want. There are many online apps that can assist in the creative process of creating a 3-D object. Although 3-D printing seems to be a new invention in the world of technology, it has actually been around for quite awhile. It is a cool tool to have in a classroom, but it does come with a big pricetag. Most printers start at the price of $10,000, which most institutions can not afford to provide a 3-D printer. I feel that there should be a big emphasis on the providing of funds for 3-D printers because they are a great educational tool that both teachers and students can benefit from.

Khan Academy and TPACK

The Khan academy video that I decided to watch was a video about the ten different types of personality disorders and the catergories that they fall into. I chose this video because I am very passionate about the study of personality disorders and I am interested in the subject of Psychology.   In this video I was informed about the different catergories of personalities disorders and what kind of behavior traits are represented in the different types of personality disorders. I found it especially interesting that there are two different kinds of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and they are often confused. I believe that this video was very informative and easy to follow along.                 I believe that watching videos that are providing information is a very good alternative resource for obtaining information. I feel like recently, this world has become very tech savy and almost completey technology reliant, this technolo...

          Google Classroom, hopefully we get to know eachother better!          Welcome Back to my struggles with technology! This week I was introduced to Google Classroom, I have used it before, but it was even more confusing back then! I finally had the opportunity to use Google classrooms and figure out how it works. I was given the task to create an assignment of my own and of course, that was a struggle. Eventually, I was able to create an assignment and hopefully my fellow classmates are able to view it.       I remember when I was in grade school, my teachers would put on a video and have questions that pertained to the video, and it was always my favorite type of assignment. So, I decided to create my assignment based off of those assignments from my past schooling experiences. I looked up a crash course video over psychology and created questions based on the video.      I look forward t...

Technology and How it Impacts Our Lives.

      Although technology and I do not always get along, technology plays a huge part in our everyday lives. I struggle with technology, because it seems to actively change and further develop quite often, and it seems as if I can never catch up with the constant changes. I wish I had a more developed understanding of technology, because I genuinely believe it is an important skill to have in today's society.      I believe that technology is continuing to evolve and is beginning to impact the lives of individuals more and more everyday. I do not believe that technology is necessarily a bad thing, in moderation, it will continue to benefit the development of the future. Because the influence of technology, cures for diseases are being developed and connections are becoming easy to create worldwide. Technology has definitely impacted how we learn, and how people can more easily access learning tools.          In the video that I...
