Week 4

How will UEN & Pioneer Library help me teach my students, and colleagues? Pros and Cons!
A: WOW UEN is a great tool to use for everything when it come to teaching. The pros to UEN are, They have lesson plans you can use for different topics, virtual tours your students can go do to learn more about a topic they also have games that the students can plat to help them remember and understand terms and concepts learned in class. For my colleagues, you can create a site of your own and others can go on and use some of the information you have found to use in their classes as well. This way you can incorporate different subject matters that other teachers are working on in your lesson. The Cons, it has so much information that it takes a long time to know where everything is at, you have to hunt for things for awhile until you can remember where they are.

VIDEO
The first Video I watched was "Did you know?" and to be honest NO I did not know all of that information. As it told me about helping our students becoming successful in the 21st century by learning through the computer I never had thought of it that way. Computers are getting better and better and we as teachers need to help our students understand the technology and be able to understand how to work and use a computer.

The second Video was my favorite. It truly shows people what students spend most of their time doing, and if they spend most their time online then we as teachers should do more assignments and projects online, something students love to do is be online. By using the computer and all the online tools we are given we can teach more effective things to our 21st century students.
