Reflective Blog #1

After reading November's article, the area that stood out to me the most was the section of Live Video Cameras in Every Room. When I read the title, it made me nervous because I automatically started to think about every thing that goes on in my classroom. I began to wonder what would someone on the outside watching think? As the author stated, live video feeds would make every teacher evaluate themselves constantly. As a teacher, I always want to give my students everything I have, but to know that everyone was watching would make me plan that much more effectively a top notch lesson and delivery.
I thought it was wonderful how the fifth grade teacher used the technology to link each student to a parent. I think technology of this sort would be great because parents could watch the progress of their children in real time as well as encourage them or redirect them if necessary. This type of technology would give parents an opportunity to view the lessons and maybe be better prepared to help their children at home with assignments.
As the article states, many teachers probably would not welcome the technology, but it could very well help teachers more than they know. I think I would technology of this sort simply because it would encourage me to always give my students the best lesson I could and also help parents be better equipped to help their children.
