After reading “Teaching in a Participatory Digital World” by Michele Jacobsen and watching a YouTube video about Henry Jenkins (see video below) I have reflected upon a few things that I noticed have changed in classrooms today.
Digital technology has recently been studied and viewed as a positive learning tool for students in the the classroom. Using digital technology can allow for a greater social interaction among students within a class. It can also allow for social interaction and learning with others outside of the classroom. The use of digital technology in the classroom can further be seen as useful since outside of school almost all learning will occur in complex social environments. I have created a Twitter essay to give further insight on my thoughts about digital technologies place in the classroom. I even talk about what I have noticed since being out on my first teaching placement. Below is a link to my Twitter essay.
