Dewey & "Ed Tech"
Good thing we just read the article for 649 because this one was loaded with some of those terms. I still found parts hard to understand though. I find it interesting that what a man wrote so many years ago is applicable to this new issue of implementing technology in the classroom. I like the idea presented in the conclusion of using technology as the "linking science" to form a bridge between theory and practice.
Pedagogic Creed
I believe that there are so many perspectives and views to be balanced. It is a bit difficult to actually sort out what it is that I believe. There were many good ideas and insights. Also a few that I did not agree with. My favorite one was this: "I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living,"
Knapp
I agree with what the article says. Google and Wikipedia are tools. Any tool has faults and can be used improperly. But when used correctly, these tools can be quite powerful. I think it was interesting to learn a little bit more about how these websites function. I like how the authours ended by stating that Google and Wikipedia are not the enemies of teachers, but that they are "introductory gateways to more advanced knowledge."
