Post #6

Digital media applications in education enable teachers to immerse students in interactive learning that wouldn't otherwise be possible in the "traditional" school environment.  For example, teachers can take their students on virtual field trips, use online education games or virtual reality.

Last week I attended my first service-learning session.  For the first time I was able to sit in a classroom and observe the teacher's approach and strategy rather than focus on what was required of me as a student.  I wouldn't say I directly learned anything new from it, but it was a good first experience, and I'm confident that I'm passively learning teaching approaches that will help me in the future.

Spring Break is getting closer, and I'm getting stoked.  I can't wait.  I'm only going home, but it's still exciting.  Is anyone doing anything out of the ordinary?
