In Mr. Brian Crosby's talk he showed how important it is to learn through social networking. He claims that we are taught to be taught but not how to learn. We should stop teaching our kids for the only purpose of good standardized test scores and really teach them how to learn properly and be open to knew information and how to understand that new information. Social networking could be great because the kids can be taught by things that really interest them and that will have them fully engaged.
Blended Learning Style:
Mr. Paul Anderson's video, Blended Learning Cycle he shows different ways of engaging his students. His cycle has 6 parts that spells quivers. The QU is for question and grabs students attention. I is for investigative experiments to help solve the question. V is for the video or podcasts he uses in instructions. E is elaboration for them to research the answer. R is for review where he makes sure the students understand the final outcome or the lesson. S is for summary where he gives a quiz to see what the lass has learned.
I believe that the Blended Learning Cycle is a great way to get your students to engage in a lesson and really learn things about whatever the topic may be. I think the investigative part would be the most fun for the younger students. I know when I was younger I used to love to dig into things. I will definitely teach off of this topic in the future.
