Chapter 3 brought up some interesting points. I felt like this chapter did a good job of breaking down multiple learning styles. Once a teacher can tap into a students learning style, I believe the student begins to open up to learning. The overall goal seems to be for the student to become more creative. After all I feel creativity only sprouts more learning. Whether authentic instruction is problem-based learning or project-based, I feel like all students can be reached on some level.
I can only imagine using technology in the classroom to transport a group of students to a foreign country. To be able to move my students to the Galapagos’ Islands to learn about the habitats of the penguins, using a few internet clicks, will be very rewarding. Not to mention, I have never been there either.
This chapter also touched on standards, and brought up the point that they are not full proof. Although necessary, standards should be a basis for learning. More importantly the ability to try different avenues will achieve the necessary standards if very important. Using the right techniques and technology will eventually achieve and surpass this goal.
