Technology is not always possible but there are many ways we can work around the technology, or as you discuss the lack there of. I know that at Butler Junior High, where Jesse and I both did our field experience, the students were asked about their computer access at home. This was both to gain an understanding of where the students are technologically as well as for parent's to look at grades and correspond with the teacher. I think that T.O.'s idea of asking students more about their outside usage of technology will ultimately allow you to get to know your students as well as gain awareness for the familiarity with new technology.Julie.Strittmatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226802790647214690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091055850214783169.post-43576602878182289632012-02-12T08:01:26.567-08:002012-02-12T08:01:26.567-08:00Jesse,

I think your example of printing out a wiki article is an excellent example of how one can modify.<br /><br />I notice that we've been talking about access, which is important. One thing I think teachers could consider is a survey. Remember how on the index card you filled out last semester I asked if you had a computer and if you were willing to bring it to the classroom? In high school you could do something like this (well, not encouraging laptops), but you could ask questions like "Do you have smart phone?", "Do you utilize the internet out of school?" You don't want to be too invasive, but it is good to get an idea how students have some access.T.O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863308702990788565noreply@blogger.com
