Using Technology for Teaching Today

Well, I think that the technology is good. We could be using it a bit more freely when teaching and learning, but not very often. We still need to be able to communicate and actually talk face to face with people. But, later on in high school, we should do more with technology then before to prepare us for the world and possible jobs we might want, need, or have. But before high school, no, we do not need to use tons of technology. We need to stay the way we are in elementary school right now. No big computer stuff. They need to learn the basics first. They need a teacher to teach them in a class room setting, not on a computer.

Teachers I get along with

In sixth grade, I had this teacher who was so cool, we got along very well. It was easy to talk to her. My friends and I would stay after school just a couple of extra minutes before leaving because we wanted to talk to her and have have telling jokes and stuff. One day we, (my two friends and I) were cleaning the class room after school. We borrowed a vacuum cleaner from another teacher, well we didn't know how it worked, so when the teacher found the ON button, I had found the button that opens the door thingy to the bag (thinking that it was the ON button), we had pressed these at the same time and the bag exploded. That was fun, it is those kind of experiences that creates a bond between teacher and student.

I have only had one teacher that I didn't get along with, in 7th grade. She was my math teacher. we didn't see eye to eye. We did not have good communication at all. I didn't like it, but I think that having that teacher was a good learning experience for me. It showed me that not all teachers are great. There are some teachers with other ideas and ways of teaching that wouldn't work for me. So, in a way, it is good that we may have some teachers that don't work for us.
