I can't agree more with the both of you. This class seems like a crossover between the computer concepts clas I had to take because I didn't pass the computer competency test, and educational psychology (because now we are starting to discuss learning styles and such.) All of the things we went over about the first computer programmer and the hard drive and everythin I have already learned in either HS or my computer course here- this class needs to be improved with the changing times. I talked to someone that has another professor for the course and they said they used Glogster- which Alyssa gave her presentation on in our class. I think we should be using newer tools like this that we can incorporate into the classroom- rather than learning how to wrap text around and image and learn how to use a search engine- because I'm pretty sure we all know how to do that.Jennie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580792886633918089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045468570089258674.post-15861764226147964812012-02-17T11:36:21.122-08:002012-02-17T11:36:21.122-08:00yes, that's EXACTLY the assignment i was talki...yes, that's EXACTLY the assignment i was talking about. i feel like he has had the same lessons for almost 5 years and it just astounds me how little it implies we know even though we've grown up with these toolsDan_D.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13648479291517978430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045468570089258674.post-84562693969420800782012-02-16T15:50:13.400-08:002012-02-16T15:50:13.400-08:00Are you referring to the newsletter assignment in ...Are you referring to the newsletter assignment in Prod & Util? Because if so, my class just did that assignment, and I would have to agree with you. I feel as though it (and many of the assignments in that class) are not teaching us anything we don't already know. It's like that class hasn't been updated since about 2007 (and the fact that we use an outdated version of Microsoft Word in the class doesn't help). Professors really should keep themselves informed on how advanced their students are and how much they know, and THEN adapt the assignments accordingly.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046378545154200308noreply@blogger.com
