How do Students Use Technology
Via: OnlineEducation.net
According to one survey only 8% of students use social sites to contact their teachers. Most seem to use e-mail (91%) to seek extra help from teachers. Well, if that is the case (here, too!), then e-mail is certainly still an important e-learning tool.
Interestingly, 38% said they (students) couldn’t even go 10 minutes without switching on some sort of electronic device. That does not surprise me as I am typing this post! Also, I am surprised to learn based on this infographic that students spend more time texting messages and searching compared to Facebooking. I suppose Google will be happy with that (For now!).
3 out of 4 students say they wouldnt be able to study without technology. I would like to know how those other 1 out of 4 students are able to study effectively without technology. We could certainly learn some creative techniques from them. Check out the rest (infographic above)!
Well, that is how students in the USA use technology! What about in your country (or institution)? Any input to share? Need to do a survey on this soon... :)

Help Your Students Work on Teen Numbers and Introduce Coins!!!
I do this fun lesson with my kids every year, and they just love it! This year, I revamped the lesson with some tens-frames to really help students grasp basic coin value!
I usually start the lesson reading a book about pennies and talking about how pennies are worth one cent. Then of course I model how to count pennies into the tens frames. I place a card at each students seat at the table, and have them go to their seats and count out that many pennies.
Then, comes the fun part... the dancing! I have the students dance around to room, usually to an instrumental of some popular song... last year it was Party Rock Anthem, this year it was Gangham Style! When the music stops, they have to find a chair and count out that many pennies!
They just love it... and its the perfect way to introduce counting pennies to a kindergartener while reviewing numbers 11-20!
