I have been working a lot with my school's VLE, and have been enjoying it a lot. One thing that I have been trying to keep in mind is, what will encourage the students' learning? Someone reminded me today that technology is a tool to help students learn, but I have been thinking about this idea. As an English teacher, I am leaning more towards the idea that teaching literacy through the use of technology is not the only thing that is important, but also teaching technological literacy. Students are constantly bombarded with text messages, emails, pop-up ads, banner ads, and such a plethora of messages that as a teacher, I must teach students the skills they need to be critical readers of e-lit.
I have also been thinking about the environment a lot lately. I am thinking of starting an environmental awareness club next school year.
