PLN: Week 6- Post 11

I read a recent article titled "Supplementing My Kids' Education" written by Will Richardson, this article talks about how Will feels like in his children's education they are not getting quit enough. He feels like there is not enough connecting going on in the education so he has been given the opportunity to speak at his children's school, which might allow the school to change and allows him to help. He also talks about how his children have computers in all of there classrooms.

This article relates to me because as a student I can see that sometimes in my daily education there really isn't very much "connecting" going on as Will expressed. I think it would be beneficial to come up with a way to connect what we are leaning in English to what we are learning in History and so on. As he mentioned in his post, his children have computers and other forms of technology in each of their classrooms, but he also said that they are not used very well. Maybe it would be good to use the technology that is put in front of us to connect the things that we are leaning. One classroom that uses technology is our English room and I feel like it is such a blessing to be able to use the laptops to learn and it also gets us better prepared for college. Maybe if we used the laptops to also connect what we are learning, we would be better off.

This article also relates to the world because through out the years our daily lives have been altered with the new production in technology and it seems like there are ways to be able to use the huge amounts of technology to broaden students learning connections. Also this article does a good job reminding people that what students learn every day really does need to be "connected" whether it's to the world or simply to what they learned in a different class, so that they realize there is a pattern and that everything they learn is important.
