Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

Vicki Davis is doing a great job with her students and doing a wonderful job with her job. This teacher is keeping things very interesting with her students. You could see that the students had interest in what they were doing and were eager to learn. This is what teachers need to do, come in the classroom with something new and just like Vicki said, the teacher does not have to know everything about something coming into the classroom, you are there to learn too. It is all a learning process because there are new things coming everyday and there is no way to be a "know it all" in the classroom, even for the teacher.

Mrs. Davis knew how to keep her students attention and students do want to learn new things but will not be interested in it if they do not have the tools they are used to using. As she said, "students that only use paper, only pen, only pencil, then not all students will succeed." We are in a technology age where it is everywhere and should be in the classroom as well and not just as a piece of resource, but as a tool for learning; learning new things to do on the computer, learning all the things that can be done and used further in their life and career.

  1. Right. She said don't only use pencil and paper. She did not say don't use pencil and paper.
