LANGWITCHES BLOG

Get Over It!

The blog was written by Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano. Langwitch's blog can be very useful to teachers who are afraid of technology. She has spent many years trying to convince teachers that technology will help their students learn more than they will ever be able to teach them. She believes that technology is always changing and teachers need to keep up to become effective in the 21st century. She also stated that good teachers would still be able to teach their students up to a certain degree. After that degree is reached, the students will be stuck at that level unless the teacher involves some type of technology to move forward. Langwitch explains to teachers that it’s OK to make mistakes because they are learners just like the students. The only mistake that could be costly to teachers is not using technology in their classrooms.

MY RESPONSE

I am taking an education media class this summer, and my teacher is teaching our class how to bring technology into our classrooms. I agree with you. Technology is changing so much, and we as teachers need to keep up. Teachers could keep up with technology b constantly searching the web for new educational tools and sites.

Thoughts on fluency and workflow

Langwitche believes that iPod workflow and fluency is directly connected to each other. This is done when the iPod unconsciously helps people decide what app to use in order to accomplish a given task. He also compares workflow to grammar rules. Just like grammar iPod workflow must put things in proper order before communicating what it is told to do. I am not sure exactly how an iPod work because I don’t own one. I agree that iPod should follow proper orders for things to work smoothly. Order in which things are done can greatly affect the outcome if not done correctly.

  3. "Langwitch's blog is about teachers who are afraid of technology." Not about. Maybe useful to or for, but not about.

    "...the iPod unconsciously decide what app..." The iPod decides (not decide)? Wow? I had no idea iPods were decision makers. What did you intend to say? Not that i hope.

    " He also compares workflow to grammar rules." Who is He?

    Did you try to find out anything about iPods?

    Where are the links to the posts you read? Not the blog, the posts.
