The Digital Divide

The Digital Divide is a term used to explain the growing gap between the people who have access to computers and those who don’t.  A growing percent of Americans are using the internet in today’s world, right now 72.5% of Americans are using the internet.  Teachers can help this gap narrow and make everybody learn how to use computers and the internet.  We can make our lesson plans using computers and make the children research things on the internet so they will learn how to navigate the internet.  I think in the future our teaching methods will be more computer based and use computers for learning lessons.  I think the Digital Divide will become very small and we will all have computers and know how to use them.

Learning Styles

I don’t agree with Mr. Pashler’s study because I believe that when a teacher is using one learning style it helps that children that fit that learning style but the children that don’t fit that learning style it is hurting them because they aren’t learning as well.  The children that don’t learn their best with the style that the teacher is using may not learn as well because they may not understand it as well as they would if the teacher was using the learning style that fits them.  I think that teachers shouldn’t use just one learning style that only fits some children and the children it doesn’t fit they might not understand.  I believe that teachers should use all teaching styles in their lessons so all the students learn the best they can.  I feel that this type of teaching would benefit all of the children and help them learn as much as they can.   http://chronicle.com/article/Matching-Teaching-Style-to/49497/

The Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom is a teaching method where the teachers create videos so the kids can go home and watch the lesson.  When the kids are in class they work on their homework so they can get more 1 on 1 help with the teacher.  Positive things about the flipped classroom is that they can get help with there homework with the teacher.  Negative things about the flipped classroom the kids might not watch the videos or understand what the teacher is talking about in the video.  The teacher would have to make very detailed videos of the lesson so you would have to reteach it when you are in class and you are supposed to be helping with homework.
