C4T #3

Brian Bennet's first post, The Problem with Evolution, discusses that sometimes teachers will go over subjects in the classroom that are just to vague. Since the subjects are so vague it is harder for the students to grasp the content of the material and really learn from it. Bennet then brings up the simulation called PhET Simulations. "They're interactive models of topics like evolution, but also chemistry, earth science, and physics, among others. These would be very helpful if you're in a science classroom. These simulation use repetitiveness which makes kids think it's a game. The simulations keep students engaged and lets kids enjoy learning.

Bennett's second post, Living the Connected Life, he describes the anxiety you get when you are not being able to know what is going around you all the time. For example, not being on your cell phone texting, tweeting, and face-booking. he also states that the use of all of these social medias increases your PLN. So, when you aren't connected you are missing out on some PLN opportunities. I really enjoyed both of Brian BEnnett's blog posts that I read. I really enjoy when I am able to connect to a fellow blogger!
