International Blogging

The first site I came upon talks about teachers in the U.K. who are debating over whether or not technology hinders or helps them in the classroom. It also states that a disadvantage for teachers is that with new technology comes a learning curve on how to operate it as well as how to profitably integrate it into the classroom. A drama teacher, Steve Powter thinks the new technology, especially the interactive white boards, are engaging students. The other teachers feel that schools shouldn't try to complete with all the technology that kids have outside of school and focus more on the basics.
In my opinion, I think technology in the classroom is a great idea and it can help students learning process easy and exciting. children of this generation are already familiar or somewhat familiar with technology. Many use technology on a everyday bases so introducing technology in the classroom should just teach them more about technology.(www.educationznet.com) this page is did not have a picture)

COMING TOGETHER







Another site i came upon talks about five countries coming together, Azerbaijan,Brazil,Palau, and Zambia, working together to inspire and enrich the lives of young people by playing and excelling at sports.
Teachers are coming together to figure come up with a P.E. curriculum program for the students. This is another example of how technology allows people to come together. (www.london2012/2008/04/15.com)
