The following quote that caught my attention this
week was “Technology can play a unique and vital role in cooperative learning
by facilitating group collaboration, providing structure for group tasks, and
allowing members of groups to communicate even if they are not working face to
face.” (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, & Malenoski, 2007 p.140)
We
are being asked to learn using these strategies in our Master’s program. When I
was in high school if someone would have told me that I could earn a Bachelors
or Masters from a university in another state or city from my kitchen table, I
would have laughed at that person. Now you can complete an entire Bachelors
degree or Masters without leaving your hometown, or even your home. Who knows
where today’s technology and future technology will take the education of our
children.Pitler, H., Hubbell, E. R., Kuhn, M., & Malenoski, K. (2007). Using technology with classroom instruction that works. Alexandria, VA: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
