So, this class was pretty fun. Unfortunately, the flip did not work and we only saw different white videos. I saw the really cool things that could be done with the camera. The different things availilbe on line are really cool, the iMovie and stuff like that. I am not one who uses this stuff frequently, so I was really impressed by how simple it was, kind of.
I am not sure how to add my movie, but I did like to change the different things on my videos. I do wish Rosie and I would have been able to use our video clips.
We went over the various ways we can use the istuff. When all else fails, they do have help boxes availible and the teacher and other students are there as well.

In the text, it does adapt Gardner's ideas and technology. With people having different strengths and attributes to add the group, people can ensure the best person for the job is doing just that. To have some one who is good with numbers to be the "calculator" in a business situation, may be better than having someone who is better at talking with people. The websites I visited were not concentrating on the technology side of his theory. It seems as people would progress with their development, it would make sense that their progress with technology would develop as well.
Bloom's learning domains seem to utilize type II technology the most. This type of learning can be looked at as the goals of the training process, which to me means using the computer as a tool, using the tools of technology to learn something. This idea is a goal for most teachers, that a student will take something with them after the intended lesson in implemented. This is great to ensure students are actually learning something at school as opposed to just pushing them through the classes and out the doors. Fro the young children, they need to build a solid foundation if they want have a successful school career.
Dale's cone of experience is a simple chart of what may be going on in people's minds. It comments on how people generally remember 90% of what they do, simulate a real experience, do the real thing, CREATE. Most everyone benefits from having that real life relationship. Showing young children how school relates to their lives is the best thing they can do to try and bring that new experience into their lives. If they have something to compare it to, chances are it might stick. I feel all three types are used in this approach. One can start by working with a computer and as they grow and experience more, they can start to see how the technology can be used in the real world.
