Getting tech savvy and how to use some of this in the classrooms.
I think, as I look at my own two children, kids these days are born being tech savvy from a very young age. They are extremely fortunate to grow up in this tech age. I am amazed at the diversity of programs available, some even free. How cool is that!! My kids just love to play on their tablets or they want to do educational games on mommy's macbook.
We have a wonderful opportunity to learn how to be better being with technology. I f we as teachers have the passion and the know how of tech, then imagine what can happen in a classroom with fresh minds who are tech savvy and have the tools ready at hand. Some of the things my students create scares me sometimes. The world is their oyster!! And they are certainly ready to grab it with both hands. thank you Manaiakalani for making this possible. These kids are so lucky.
Today, OMGTech spent the day with us. Inspired by so much that is available out there.
Firstly they shared this video with us. Get your tissues!!

We played a couple of games just to get us going and thinking in the right direction. The first one was a bit on the dark side..... hehe.... was fun though!!
Why don't you try yourself? Here's the link: Moral Machine.
So what if I have the opportunity and the knowledge to lead my classroom to look like this. WOW! The possibilities are endless of how far these students might go!
We tried and succeeded. It was fun!! Beginning of programming.
