The Final Chapter...

I'd like to start out by saying that I did not like having to post to a blog. Everytime I write an entry and hit publish, I get a response back that there was some sort of error. Even though I'm told that "Now Blogger saves your drafts automatically!", it never seems to be saved. After several tries of the past week I finally gave up out of aggravation, and am trying once again.
One thing I got out of this class was working on interdisciplinary lessons. It is now easier to think of teaching an art lesson incorporating other subjects, like reading, writing, history and math.
Something that I did not like about this class (similar to this blog), was haivng such a strong focus on technology. It was a reading theory and process class, not a technology in the classroom one, and it felt as though everything we did focused around forcing computers into every aspect of a childs life. I think our schools should be less focused on forcing technology down a childs throat and concentrate more on teaching them to read and write English.
