Todays lecture was based on the idea that in the future there will be no need for teachers as computers and technology can do the job just as well, if not better. Mobiles are now being used in classroom to make digitals stories such as slowmations. I like th idea of using mobile phones in the classroom. Thye can be very educational especially when using the media that it has such as music, camera or video player. Even with the use of the internet nowadays it will allows students to research the information that they need rather than waiting until they have a computer to finish the work. According to David Jonassen in Meaningful Learning with Technology(2008), mobile phones can impact student motivation to participate in the work provided by the teacher.

The three key goals and obligations of teachers is to cause greater achievements, cause greater interest and cause greater confidence.

In the workshop we were given the oppurtunity to work on assignment three for the whole lesson. 5 minutes into class we recieved a text message from one of the group members telling us that she would not be in today for car reasons. So we got to work with the three of us and were able to start to put the assignment together.

At home Jess and I went through the K-10 syllabus and highlighted the areas in which the authentic task falls under.
