Day 7-Exit Slip

     Today in class we discussed chapter five of Rethinking Education. We discussed different forms of schooling, such as home schooling, distance learning, and adult education. An interesting thing that came up during the debrief was that we should never ask, "Does anyone want to share?" Instead use, "I need someone to share." We also discussed how we will address the digital divide in our classroom. Should we just not use technology because not all of our students have internet? What will we do as teachers, avoid technology or adjust the time constraints? I think that a good way to approach the digital divide is to offer ample time for students to complete assignments using technology and to also provide computer time (after school, before school, recess, lunch, or during class time). We then looked at Scratch and examined some of its capabilities. We discussed how to make sprites, scripts, and backgrounds. Lastly we discussed homework expectations for the week.
