Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

I think what Vicki Davis is during with the classroom is wonderful. Like she said the teacher doesn't have to know it all I think it is perfectly OK for teachers to learn some things along with the students, or for the teacher to assign the student what something means and the student teaches it to the whole class. I think it is a good idea for you to introduce new vocabulary terms in the class and let students go home and look up the terms and find out what it means.

Vicki made a good point when she said if a classroom is only pencil and paper then it is only made for certain student to succeed. Now days all students don't learn the same way and we have to be able to provide different techniques of teaching things in the classroom. For some students it may be easier for them to learn by listing to the material instead of reading it from a sheet of paper.
