Is Social Media Ruining Our Lives?

 


When I look at this cartoon I cannot help but think how social media is ruining not only the lives of children, but everyone else in the world too. It has slowly taken over everything as it has so much power to consume every aspect of our lives. Another idea that comes to mind when I look at this poster is the fact that the teacher has little to no knowledge of social media. If you are going to be a teacher in this generation, it is important to be caught up on all the new fancy technology out there especially because it is just going to keep getting better and better. The use of technology must be made aware in the classroom, not only for the students but for the teacher as well. This way, the teacher will be able to engage with the students in a more meaningful way. There are many useful tools and websites out there that can be extremely helpful when it comes to engaging students technologically.

Lorraine Bayes My Thoughts:  I really enjoyed reading this poem and it was very heartfelt to me. It made me realize just how important the Earth is. We must take care of the Earth and make sure that n...

Brrr...Icebreaker Time!

 Fieldwork Group 1: The Globetrotters   Miss Maria, Miss Danielle, Miss Mary, Miss Kayla, & Miss Allison It's the beginning of fieldwork and I can't wait! Today, all 5 groups were able to introduce ourselves and play unique icebreaker games with the 4th grade students to get to know them better. After all, it is extremely important to get to know your students before teaching them! All of the students seemed to have a fun time playing each group's game and it was great to interact with them for the very first time.  For my group, we created a game where a wheel was spun with each 4th grader's name on it. Whichever name it landed on was the one who answered the question at that time. After a name was chosen, a question was chosen after. Some of the questions that were asked were: - Sweet or Salty? - Do you have any siblings? - Dogs or Cats? My group did not have enough time to let every student answer a question due to timing, which made some students upset, but the ...
