Exit Slip for sept 16th

Exit slip
Today during class, we had a major discussion on being schooled completely via the internet. This discussion really helped me to enforce my belief of technology. I do believe that in the future technology  could probably teach children without the teachers aid, but they would not get all the benefits of being in a classroom.
Then after the discussion about the qoute of the day. Once we got together again to talk about how to check our sources, I never heard of the word Triangulation. I have never even used triangulation. But Triangulation, which is to check multiple sources to make sure they agree, makes total sense. In fact, I don’t know why I never thought of doing this. I have always used the “Check the author and make sure they are credible”, but now I KNOW the best way to validate a website is Triangulation.
Thank goodness for smart board technologies. This is always an interesting part of class. I love how easy and fun they are to use. All sorts of different activites you can do like drawing a square to zoom into an image. I am so excited to use these in my classroom, especially after the presentaion I did today in Ed Psych. This class has been helping me unimaginable amounts. Ideas are finally starting to flow for my classroom.
