C - E - R #11 Resources for Setting Academic Goals

C - E - R # 11

CREATE: One of my favorite site for setting academic goals is from motivational speaker, Kantis Simmons.
As a motivational speaker and college graduate himself, Kantis speaks about his practical success principals.  kantis simmons

EVALUATE:


 

This is personal one of my favorite videos regarding constructivism. Jerome Bruner is a pioneer in constructivism and this video demonstrates his impact on the classroom. Everything that we know about the classroom is strongly influenced by the work of Jerome Bruner. Bruner is a major contributor to the cognitive revolution. His work in the research of education has provided a new perspective on how we manage our classroom.

 RELATE: When we look at the impact of the social networking sites in schools, we enter a gray area of whether or not if truly is beneficial. You do not have to go far to find stories on the internet or on the news about cases of cyber bullying or predators speaking to children. 

While the internet has allowed us to expand communication ways never imagined, we struggle with the downside that it brings. Firstly, in my opinion, the internet on multiple levels has created a growing culture of impersonal communication. We even have an entirely new texting language. Cyber bully has been an increasingly growing trend sadly contributing to suicides in students. The has its benefits, don't get me wrong. Social networking sites however, are not the place for students or children. There has to be a filter when it comes to what is put on the internet and who has the ability to access it.
