Kaia's Blog


This type of communication is breath taking. Using voice thread because Kaia can not read was a creative idea. It did not take her father long to connect to her classroom. This shows me how fast technology is becoming. At first her blog started out as a way to share pictures with family members but now it has kind of become a way to record her life events. Since kaia's dad is a teacher, he sees how technology has played a bg role in his childs life. Kaia lives in the desert and loves taking pictures. She also loves her daddy. Kaia created a photo essay that was very creative on her part.

Kaia's dad is a teacher and he states, "that kaia is still too young to grasp the connections she is making." I understand what he is saying but in the years down the road, kaia will be a master at communicating with people outside her hometown. Her father states that ," if we want our students to feel comfortable and be cautious online, we must be able to do the same with our own children." I feel like teaching technology begins at school, but should not stop once you get home. Technology is on going, and in the future it will be useful to everyone, especially teachers.

Parents need to grasp the fact that in their childrens future technology will play a major role in their learning. They should not just sit back and let their children do it on their own. Helping children explore technology will give them a head start in to learning.
