Week 2

What are the different means of teaching children ?


At the beginning of the class, we studied the oldest techniques and resources of teaching :

- Drawing
- Gestures
- Songs
- Poems
- Stories
- Oral /Voice

After this summary, our teacher showed us a video named "The history of technology in education". Per group of three, each person had a task to accomplish :
- Spot dates
- Spot the method they used at a certain period 
- Spot the name of the period
eg : In the period of cave drawing, in 30 000 BCE, people used to draw on a wall to teach.

After seeing that video, we realized the huge evolution in technology ; we went from cave drawing to the digital age.


Afterwards, we talked about the use of technology : nowadays, technology has to interest children and students can relate on what the teacher is doing by using contemporary methods like the Internet, computers, social networks, overhead projectors and so on.
