My name is Paul William Asbury and I am hoping to teach middle school biology. My favorite animal is the bearsharktopus. I believe that it captures the energy and imagination that all children have, rolled up with a little bit of monster that all kids love to be scared of. Plus its really cool. 
I appreciated your point about us gen xers deveoloping the world that we then become strangers or expats in. I agree, as do you, that an effective teacher is still able to reach students with out relying heavily on technology. It is a tool, not a way of life, for me. Maybe that is my weakest link....
ReplyDeleteYes,electronic communication by internet makes sometimes big trouble for us.I agree with you, there many bad people who can see our information and use it for their purpose.From my experience I had a big trouble because somebody have used my information by internet and reported the police officer.
ReplyDeleteYour concern how to work with middle school students is a good idea. As teacher we need to pay attention to our students and give a good advice to them about electonic comunication.
