1. Digital Native, I live my everyday life with some form of tech on me whether its my computer, phone, or some type of device. I am as native as you can get.

2. Socrative is really cool! I love learning apps, I think they are the wave of the future after seeing how they can be used in my Internship I.

3. I think writing in general is important. I feel if we are going to get kids writing we have to appeal to them in some way and the best way to do that now a days is digitally. The biggest risk I feel is plagiarism. Kids don't realize because they have grown up with the copy paste feature how risky and dangerous plagiarism is, or how easy it is to do.

4. I thought the coolest thing on Jane Harts PPT was Google Docs for sure. I have seen the power of Google docs and it should be number one. I just watched my homeroom teacher review a research paper with the student across the room using Google Docs and Google Classroom. Nothing is better than that.

5. I think the bottom three remembering, understanding, and applying. I have trouble with all three of these and I consider myself a digital native. Kids always ask me how do I do this task Mr. Hickey, which they have been doing since August. The hardest things for kids is remembering how to apply what they know and understanding why they have to do it, even when it comes to technology.

6. Recap it is a video recording website where students can record for up to 2 minutes about something. Very cool and very useful.

  1. Taylor,
    I applaud you for being a digital native!! I myself am not as well verse in the language of tech as some young(er) people but I'm very happy to find out that you have a techsavvy side! GoogleDocs is so rad!!! I can't wait to use it in my classroom! I have been using it more and more in college and love how organized I have become. Thanks for posting my dude!!

  2. I agree with you. Kids remembering how they apply what they know and then transfer it. Good work considering the tech tools.
