In today’s world students need to learn how to use programs such as Google Docs to make their projects more manageable. We have so much technology out there, but do not know how it can be used. By using the Cupcake sale, students are learning hands on how real businesses control their inventory. The information they have learned from you will definitely help them transition into the career world easier. Having experience in the business world, I can definitely relate. Business are cutting back on expenses such as paper processes and moving towards electronic processes instead. <BR/>You have also allowed students to take control of their own learning. You mention how you brainstormed ideas and then sat back to see what unfolded. This allows the students to see you only facilitating their learning and not controlling it. It allows all the students to work at a pace that best meets their individual learning needs. <BR/>As an educator, I have to make sure that I introduce students to the new technologies and see how they can adapt them to their own needs. This will prepare them for the ever changing world of technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
