Today in lecture, we talked about 1:1 and mobile computing. I find it very surprising that by next year, there could be a third of Iowa schools using this learning system. I can see why this would be good for student. Technology is used everywhere (I'm using it right now!). And it just keeps expanding and getting better. Now you can pay bills, order pizza, shop, and do pretty much anything else online too. Children need to be aware of this and how to use it. I understand why we should be teaching students online but as a future teacher, I would love for it be "old-school" with desks and books. Times change though and teachers have to keep up with the technology. Not bashing on any instructors at UNI, but some are not very computer literate. We have to know this technology if we want to teach it to our students.
We also talked about online schooling. The instructor showed us Florida's online school and also Iowa Learning Online. I thought it was pretty interesting to be able to do that.
