Blog Reflection #14: Extra Credit

This is another blog a read from a Principals Reflection blog site.  The blog, Cultivating Authenticity in Learning, was about using Skype in the classrooms.  He basically restated what our professor has been saying about the debate of using technology in the classroom.  This principal is pro-technology.  He believes that it only gets students more engaged in what they are learning.  He talked about this program they have based on the Holocaust where students are able to skype with Holocaust survivors.  So instead of reading a second-source textbook, they are able to get accounts from primary-sources who were actually witnessed and were a part of history!!
