I also think that if a child has access to the web that students could type a word into a search engine and find the definition. I know that is what I do when I hear a word that I do not know. It is also way easier to type it into a search engine than find a dictionary and thumb through. Thanks again! <br />HeatherHeather Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004086997074867814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986409090695104447.post-78478148120827400472012-04-23T09:47:51.443-05:002012-04-23T09:47:51.443-05:00Hi Heather,
As I was reading your post, it made me...Hi Heather,<br />As I was reading your post, it made me think of a discussion we just had in my reading class. Our discussion was on comprehension. Sometimes it is difficult for students to comprehend because of lack of intelligibility. Just as you stated in your post, the lack of knowledge of vocabulary can be the reason someone does not understand what it being heard. That is a great point and some of the same points we made in my reading class. We discussed ways to increase a child’s vocabulary knowledge without having the child memorize the words and definitions, since we have already determined if there is not a real-life connection made to the information/word, than the child is not going to remember it or would not be able to intelligibly understand what is being read or heard (audibility). It is also important for teachers to educate in a way that is interesting to the students. If they are not interested then they can still hear what is being said, but not really “hear” it intelligible. I think with the use of technology teachers can find better ways to interest students and educate their vocabulary knowledge, rather than having them copy words and definitions down on paper. <br />Thank you for the video, all teachers should make it their goal to be both audible and intelligible and they definitely have more ways of doing this with today’s technology. <br /><br />CassieCassie Skidmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049898470598697095noreply@blogger.com
