I created a lesson plan that used Google's blogger and YouTube. In the lesson plan students had to go to the class blog and click on the link. This took them to a webpage call Eric Whitacre Virtual Choir. I created this lesson because in the video, Eric Whitacre created a choir of people from all around the world. Each individual recorded their voice part and uploaded it. Then all the voice parts were placed together thus creating a virtual choir.
Kids learn so much differently now than when I was in school. Information is available to them almost instantly. They don't even have to go to the library to pick up a book now. Some are available through media such as iTunes, Kindle etc. I think we have to focus on that for education now. A lecture class doesn't teach kids of today. (It didn't teach me before which is why I have chosen online classes for the majority of my education for the past two years) We should focus more attention on how to teach outside of the traditional classroom.
