Fan of forum

I have never been a fan of forum before college! When I was in high school, I did not use forum at all but when I began college, I began to be more interested in forum...I played music all high school and when I finished high school I wanted to find scores of music. With forums I found many interesting sites.Other subjects that bring me to use forums are things of the everyday life. If I wonder how to find something that I don't know on a subject I just have to go on google and write want I want and most of the time it will bring be on a forum webpage. Forums are very useful. We can find many information on forum but also opinions about many subjects! Speaking about opinions...that is not what we are doing in the computer application classroom ?? ;)

Classroom Management

Classroom management is not a simple thing. It becomes more complicated when you include technologies like computers. Computers are used by everyone today and especially by young people. They know more on these technologies than us and it’s why teachers need to know more about these new fashions. The meeting we had last class helped me to understand that there were many possible situations where computers could be disturbing tools for teachers. I also saw that my peers and I had almost the same fears concerning classroom management. For examples they were scared that students go on pornography sites, chatting on MSN instead of listening to the teacher, playing games during the work time etc. It will not be easy for me to deal with these problems and if I have to deal with a computer classroom later, I’ll have to find solutions.
