Pretty Nifty...

This to me is a great example of how technology can be used or should I say integrated in the classroom. What a neat teacher. How much fun would it be to put science into action like that. I find it amazing that a sixth grade class would get to partake in something that neat. The students must also feel really special in being involved in collecting data and putting it in such a big data base.
Something that was also nice to see was how the students weren't the only ones learning but the teacher was learning as well. I also liked how the teacher noted how she is willing to do the same thing that she asks of her class on a daily basis. This is also being a great model for the class as well. It shows the students that we as human beings never stop learning and that is important. It also shows how as technology evolves we must evolve with it, and how although the teacher is the teacher, the teacher does not know everything. I often think that sometimes students look at their teachers as if they know everything, as if they are some sort of God. This is a great example of how to show kids that we are constantly learning new things. No matter how much education you have had or how old you are, there are always new things to know and learn! Those students are definitely lucky to have a teacher that is so interactive.
