The first part of my learning contract was mobile devices. I searched through many different apps and found some that I thought were extremely creative. This project was not frustrating for me at all. I really enjoyed finding these apps. I even downloaded some of them. I love how technology has come so far and that we are using it for our benefit. Instead of just using technology to watch shows or play mindless games, there are apps that spark our creativity, and I think it is wonderful.
The second part of my learning contract was images. I used pictures I had taken on Instagram on my phone. I love pictures. I am the type of person that can go through pictures and look at the same ones over and over. This has been my favorite part of the learning contract because of my love for pictures, and it has been fun to go back through my old pictures and explain why I took them. I really think that a picture says a thousand words, and I think that if teachers showed their students pictures of things and made them think about every detail, the students would learn to think more critically.
The third part of my learning contract was puzzles and gaming. I found five games that I thought would be very useful for children ranging from pre school to elementary school. When I was doing this part of the project, I couldn't help but wish we had had these things when I was younger. Somehow technology just makes things more interesting and fun, and if I had had games to help me learn new concepts when I was in grade school, I would have enjoyed them a lot more. This part of the project was very cool to me and I am glad that I chose to do puzzles and gaming.
