Week 7 Post 3 Electronic media good or bad?

Electronic media are keeping children from reading. Is this a fact or myth?

Children today are more attracted to electronic media as this is the technology generation (Donahue, 2009). However, in my opinion, I do not agree that electronic media keeps children from reading. This is because there are so many e-book online. Children may not like to look at a book but with electronic media, they are able to look at video while reading the subtitles that are provided at the bottom of the video. Other than that, there are a lot of applications that encourages children to read such as story application where they show pictures and words.

Week 6 Post 3 Bloom Taxanomy

Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)

Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude or self)

Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)

Let’s use Blooms Taxanomy as a guide, we can see that theknowledge  as an example for constructing knowledge. The key words in “knowledge” is just within defining, name, record and more. It is just to build the knowledge upon the child. For transforming knowledge, we use “synthesize” as an example. Some of the main key words includes compose, create and design. This determines that children will not only be absorbing the knowledge but also apply new knowledge when they are able to compose, create and more. This  also ensures me that children will learn effectively if both of this knowledge were used during teaching and learning.
