TPACK

How well does the use of this technology may support your teaching strategies in this activity?
For the TPACK lesson plan technology helped me alot, i wouldnt have been able to cover as much content if i hadnt used the technology. It was very helpful.

How effectively does the use of this technology enhance students' understanding of the learning from your particular content in this activity?
In my opinion the technology made the activity so much more easy for the class to understand and as a whoel enriched/enhanced the lesson.

What are your strategies and why do you think your strategies are appropriate to teaching this specific content?What makes you believe it would help your students comprehend this particular content? 
My strategy for my lesson was to bring something i found very special and have amazing memories of and i wanted to try to share a little bit of those loving memories with the class. Another strategy i had was to show them just how intricate the process of making noodles by hand really is. I believe this helps students learn because when i was a student i alwasys found it easier to like a topic that the teacher was very interested in and had strong feelings about.

What would be some conceptions and pre-conceptions that students of different ages and backgrounds bring with them when learning this particular content? What would be concern about students' prior knowledge, experiences, motivation? 
Well i think that people who have never had the experience of having homemade noodles would not be able to realize just how different the flavors are compared to noodles you buy in a package at the store.  think some of the people that eat noodles dont try to grasp the depth of the flavors that are in them, as well as not realizing the mastery of making noodles is an extremely difficult thing.

What main instructional strategies would this technology use serve in you activity? How would using the technology support the way you teach this activity?
It allowed me to show the students how noodles are made by a master noodle maker as well as let me give them information about noodles that they may not have known before

What different classroom management strategies might you consider when using this technology in the activity?
I would have to tell the students they were only allowed to follow the activity on the technology, no matter if its on an ipad or a computer. and if they were on anything different then i would take away that privelige.

How would using this technology enhance the way the content is represented in your activity? 
Using this technology enhances the way the content is represented in multiple ways, a few of which are they can look back at the content at any point in time, they can take as long as they need with it, and some people read and retain imformation better from a screen and a video.

In what different ways students practice or understand the content in your activity that would otherwise not be possible without the use of the technology? In addition to motivational benefits, what else can students do with this technology as they are learning the content? 
WIthout this technology the students would not have been able to watch a master make noodles and have the opportunity to go back and watch the video at any point in time. Students can use technology in all sorts of ways that people now days dont realize was not even possible 10 years ago.

3D printing reflection

Ever since i first heard of 3D printing i thought it was amazing and i thought if we streamlined the process and made it more accesible to the public then it would make alot of simple tasks in everyday life become easier. My uncles company 3D prints a few parts they need for their computers, they have also started printing more thing such as stands and holders. Seeing companies start to use this technology in this way is not onl amazing, but very inginuative.

questions form the three articles

I am curious to see if the TPACK will be able to be used in the correct way as well as used efficiently in the classroom.

What exactly will happen when technology pushes human workers completely out of the workforce and makes humans have very little reason for being as time goes on? Will humans become lazy and devolve to a state in which we cant do anything? 

I like that the application of technology in schools is happening but a few of the questions i have would be, is this accounting for lower income families that might not have access to all the technology? Is this a realistic way to use technology, i say that not as a fault to the technology but to the students that might find it harder than some of the ways we have had in the past.

google classroom

Google classroom is a very useful tool that is organized and helps you maintain a good communication with your students. It seems pretty simple for the most part and thats a good thing because alot of apps like this get a  little to overwhelming and have a problem with being overcomplicated. I think the app is very nice because it is a really nice tool for giving students feedback and advice. This app is also really nice because students can see what assignments they have to do at any point in time throught the app. This app is a useful tool and i think it should be implemented into classrooms by more teachers at all levels of education

Technology concerns

I have conflicting views on the Einstein quote because of how immersed in technology society is and how some people may not use it to become smarter, but i also think there are people who will use the technology for knowledge. 

Growing up i wouldnt say i had zero technology in my life but i definitely didnt have as much as some people did. I was raised on a ranch so i didnt have alot of time to sit down and play games, and as i got older i played sports so i had even less time for them.

To this day my mother gets angry at me and any of my siblings if we have our phones out at the table. She used to take them from us when we were younger if we had them out at the dinner table.

I cant really have an opinion on the baby that china produced, i dont know the specifics of what was changed and what affects it might have down the line of not just that childs life but down the lives of its decendets as well. It could stop genentic diseases and could make modern medicine leaps and bounds farther than where we are now.

As a whole i think technological advances have the opportunity to be extremely benificial towards the world and how medicine and other things are, but if we dont keep advancing and gaining more knowledge that wont happen.
