In watching the three video's on Peer Editing, I learned a lot. The first step was to start off with a compliment, and to stay positive. The second step is to make suggestions, which could include word choice. The third step is to make corrections, which would include grammer and spelling.
A very important part of Peer Editing is to help another student understand what they have done wrong, in a positive way. Don't be mean when you do a peer edite. Remember, you wouldn't want someone to hurt your feeling's. Tell them what they have made mistakes on and be nice about it.

In watching the video with the Special Education teacher in it, I think Lacy Cook is a wonderful teacher. As she showed in the video laptop's have changed the way teachers' teach and student's learn. She also show's that without technology how hard it would be for teachers' and student's.
The iPod was wonderful in the video. It showed how the students' learned silent reading and how they got to stay in the classroom with the rest of the class instead of having to leave the room. Using technology also made it easy for the teacher to talk to the students'. As Lacy Cook say's "Captivating the students' attention is virtually effortless when using technology", as anyone knows keeping a students attention is a very important part of learning. I also thought that Zoom Text was great. This could be great for older people also.
I agree with this teacher that every student can learn. I have had to learn to transition form the old way of education (pencil and paper) to the new ways of education (technology). As we all know technology is advancing more and more everyday, so it is very important for students to understand it.
I like the way that the teacher is involving the children in the learning and teaching aspect, because they are becoming more involved in the world of technology. I agree with the teacher that you must understand something in order to teach it or to learn it.
