Touchscreen” Slam & the Cyborgs
The blog talks about how technology is all around us and sometimes it is hard to have face to face interaction when you can just go to a computer or phone or tablet and text or im or tweet someone. In Bill Genereux class he has a thing called cyborg and human mode. In human mode no technology is allowed. While in Cyborg mode you can use as much technology as you want. He does this to make sure the students interact with each other that way they do not spend all their time stuck in a computer screen and that they do not lose that way of life.
Who is Ed Parkour?
This blog talks about the sport of Parkour and how it relates to education. Parkour is the sport of traversing environmental obstacles by running, climbing, or leaping rapidly and efficiently. If you participate in parkour you are referred to as a traceurs. This blog takes the term traceur and ask the question are you a Education traceurs. As in can you take on obstacles and task and get around them with no problem at all. Can you deal with the political issues and the children themselves and still be able to get them to learn and teach them what need to be taught. Are you a Education Traceur or could you become one? I think that I would panic under to much pressure at times, but at other times i think i could be a Education Traceur. As a future educator I will have to find out when I am actually in the the classroom teaching.
