The High Cost of Education.

  1. I plan to put all my checks in a savings account and save up as much as I can. I also will apply for grants, scholarships, and student loans. My parents will help out as well.
  2. I think I have done a lot but certainly not enough I feel like I could work harder and make better grades because this year i have been slacking. I will most definitely work harder next year. NO PROCRASTINATION!
  3. No I have not applied for FASFA.
My thoughts on this article is a little worried about how much college is and how I'm going to become a teacher. Seeing how much college is I need to make sure I get a job so I can pay off all the loans from college.

Creativity Counts!

What is Creativity?
Creativity is when someone is able to come up with something without looking it up online or cheating. Someone who is able to just have an idea just like that but in there own way of doing it. Weather it be through art, dancing, or sports.
Why does Creativity matter in Education?
Creativity matters in education because if you don't allow the students to learn in there own way and use there own creativity then they won't want to learn there just going to do enough to get by. But if students are able to do what they love and learn from it then its better and easier for both the students and the teachers.

Digital Learning Tool

The way I could use the iPad in my class is by allowing the students to play different science games that refers to the lesson. They could also look up different definitions of the words that are in the lesson that they don't quite understand. This would make the kids interested in the lesson because its technology and its something new and fun. But at the same time they would be learning.

On February, 1st my teacher used her computer and put up a power point for the kids and she went over her lesson. She used colorful and interesting pictures on her power point to keep the kids interested. She also allowed kids to come up in front of the class and read the different slides to get them involved and the kids loved it.
