 Mrs. Fraher's Technology Wiki

Teachers spend hundreds of hours searching through different websites to find the perfect information. I personally get frustrated when I can't find what I need. When I do find it, many times I loose the web address or don't write it down and I can never find it again! I wanted to create a site where I can find all of my websites and be helpful and share these sites to others in the process of doing so. (In the process of searching, I came across Symbaloo, this is a must have, check it out!) So, this is my Wiki, my way of being organized. I hope you find the information useful and informative! Enjoy!

=**How Fast Does [|Technology Change]video** = ====Did you know there are 150 million searches on Google each hour? What did we do BG (before google?) We looked through encyclopedias, newspapers and magazines. We didn't question these. But now we question everything we see on the internet, especially Wikipedia. But in fact, what we read in textbooks is already outdated by the time we read it; therefor it is really no different at all. Today's student is changing, they question everything they see. Our job is to teach to these students for the first time in history to ideas and technology that doesn't yet exist. Pencil and paper, in straight rows worked 20 years ago when little technology was available to us. Today we are surrounded by technology; this is how our future generation learns. What happens outside of the classroom is driving what takes place inside our classroom. By using technology that is available to us, we are teaching to the future. If we strictly stick to pencil and paper, we are teaching what we learned in school; to me this was trying to not get caught having the wrong answer. We learn by questioning, researching, attempting to solve problems and getting the wrong answer. This wiki is set up for any student, educator or parent who wants to incorporate technology in their life/school day or lessons. Enjoy! ==== = = = = =**Articles of Interest:** =
