Block One

Is technology taking over our world?

As teachers we plan and plan and plan lessons; however, in the 21^st century we rely on technology WAY too much. Technology is starting to define our living ways. Here at Madison, during block one, what happens? The INTERNET is disconnected; guess what days activity is? Writing their stories on word documents while using the internet! Needless to say all teachers in the building had devastation run across their faces, because the majority of them were going to use internet in their lesson plans today. For this classroom today they will just write their stories in a word document and throw out using the internet; live is once again restored for today’s lesson plan! As a teacher, we should take in calculation on the use of technology but also the inadequate reliability on technology.

Beginning

Let’s just say, the morning classes are extremely different from afternoon classes! They tend to be more ambitious. Even though there is a whole attitude change between the morning and afternoon classes, the afternoon classes succeed much more! The morning classes drag out their daily task. Some factors that may come about this would be: talkatively, trying to get into the school mind, etc. Whereas the afternoon classes have had their daily dose of peer communication and decide to just get the work done, so they can leave right away when school is over. About five minutes before the classes start the office plays a song to get the kids pumped up. After the class starts the secretary leads ALL classrooms into the pledge of elegance. Back in the day when I was in school they had us stop saying the pledge of elegance. I really enjoyed the school saying pledge of elegance together as a whole; giving a sense of charisma.
