Since our lesson/discussion about Sabertooth, and the use of "raps" to help us assess what we read, I have noticed word wizardry all around.
My niece, who is 4, doesn't know her ABC's, but she can sing the lyrics to "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. I've told my sister she needs to give every letter of the alphabet a beat or a tune that my niece can identify it with.
This concept has made me reevaluate the way I teach and how its effectiveness will impact my students in the long run.

First Reflection
Learn.
Technology is a mediator between us and the world. The world consists of physical, social, intellectual, and informational situations.
Know.
A mediator is a helper. Therefore, technology helps us understand the world around us.
Act.
I need to help my students understand how technology can be a helper in their world. It is also my job to identify its affordance to the task at hand.
