Reflection 2: Website!

“Technology is opening minds with a new set of keys” ( Technology Bit and Bytes Website).  This quote is a good way to describe this website.  The site has so many different ways to search the web and to learn and be inspired from different quotes and short movie clips.  It has many different links to different site and you tube videos tagged.  I explored a few of these different clips and short stories.  The first was Celebrate Kansas Voices.  It was a slogan to improve cognitive learning.  It encouraged people to learn another  language.  It really means a lot to me because I have taken two years of German.  This language opened doors to me that I never imagined.  I went to Germany and experienced the culture and learned even more German.  I try to use it every week.  I am getting a little bit rusty and need to take a refresher course on how to use preposition and verbs correctly and vamp up my vocab. 

I enjoyed listening to “When I become a teacher”.  It composed all the ideas of what makes a bad teacher.  It really centered around how good teachers make a difference, but bad ones can hurt student's future potential.  I found it interesting that these writers and producers thought of a different way to express what we need as educators. They didn't go the normal route of telling us a good teacher is kind, knowledgeable, and other things.  Instead, they talked about the traits that teachers shouldn't have. It was extremely refreshing.

The whole site contained a lot of information for future teachers.  It had resources to use and inspirational sites and videos.
