WEEK 2 Refection

The reading this week is how technology helps different learners. This is something that I have always believed in, and is one of the reasons that I teach Computer Science. I have seen many students who have not been successful in a most classes, but are one of my better students. Though I have also witnessed the opposite, where good students struggle in my class.

This year I have a student that is ranked number 6 in his class that struggles in my class and has told me that I’m his lowest grade, while other students in the same class find the class easy and fun. This week material reaffirms my belief that because there are so many different ways to learn that different students are successful in my classroom, and it isn’t always the top students in the class.

What I felt was missing from the reading this week was way Students seem to do better with technology. The readings have said that technology helps most students be more successful, but something that I felt it was missing is that Technology gives students immediate feed back, they don’t have to wait for a teacher to grade and hand back a assignment they can see immediately if something is working or is not.
