Hi my name is Samantha and I'm currently co-teaching grades 1-3 in a Montessori school in Waldwick. I'm looking for a public school job for the fall so if you know of anything let me know!
All the other posts below are from a previous class I took with Dr. Dana so just ingnore them or feel free to read them :)
When it comes to media, I feel that I'm somewhat tech savvy. I have a Facebook and Myspace account and instant message and text message daily. When it comes come gaming, that is a different story. When I was younger I can remember playing Nintendo, and back then the new, exciting game system was the Nintendo 64! Currently, I don't really play any online games or have a game system. I am interested to learn some of the new things out there that my students are using.
I am very interesting in how all the gaming and new technologies are influencing learning today. I do believe that the new literacies are changing the "old" definition of literacy. What it means to be literate in today's society is completely different than what it was a year or two ago. Working with kids, it is important to know the kinds of things they are doing and what they are exposed to. I am looking forward to this class giving me a new outlook when it comes to games and learning. I'm also hoping it will give me some insight into what my students are doing with their free time and now it might impact their learning.
Happy blogging! :)
