Vygotsky blog post 2


The class I currently am working in has a class set of laptops. I think this is a really neat practice of technology and resources because the students can use the laptops to complete in class assignments like math, reading, and science quizzes or tests. The students are learning different resources on the computer to obtain more knowledge in an more efficient manner.

A tool used on a laptop could be instead of looking up a word in the dictionary, students can use online dictionaries instead. There are also countless spell check tools to review what is written.

Students are only scaffold by older peers or adults, technology has it own way of scaffolding a learner. With technology ever changing, sometimes a new update changes how the program or APP worked before. Maybe its only a few clicks differently, but you have to figure how to get from page A to B in a different manner to learn new things.
