                                                   Response to "This I Believe"
When bringing technology into the classroom there are so many ways that you can bring into the lesson to get the children excited, For Robert the teacher he wants to get his students excited about writing essays which is already hard to do now in days, and what he wants to accomplish is:"Read and hear different types of the example essays,"2:have the students write the essay,3:having them gain a better confidence in writing . With this scenario he has to introduce the lesson in a creative way to get them excited. And telling them how people have changed the world giving them some examples to read on their own, Everyone loves giving their opinion and discussing so why not get them talking about their ideas and what they want to change. But getting to work for brainstorming they can use Computers to do some research on the idea and to get more correct information on what they "believe". For writing their drafts they can use Microsoft word to help them write the paper a lot of times the spell check is a great use. They can also place photos and little characters into the photos to bring the paper to life. For the revising and the editing the children can just email the teacher the drafts and even email each other if the want peer evaluation. Now what we used for the blogger such as what we are using right now we can have them post their papers on here instead of handing in papers. Also classroom websites, power point,e-portfolios even can make a newspaper with all the headlines. Getting creative about what the lesson is can help them get excited for the papers, fcats and SATS and give them the confidence that they need.
