Thanksgiving week

Teachers often act as designers, from creating lesson plans to activities to field trips. As a future english teacher I would need to make lesson plans for a wide range of readings for my students.
If i were a sciences teacher I would use trebuchet Simulator. It shows how to use forces and physics. This could alos be helpful in simulating activities in a gym class.
Digital storytelling focuses on activities more than technology. It is used for team work with outhers. Students create a story and put it together. this would be helpful with creative writing.
I think that it is possible to learn from tv alone, but maybe not the best way to do so, part of learning is interacting. You can learn how to cook from tv, but in essence you only know the recipe, not how to actually make the dish well. News is the best example It hink of television learning, because you can't really interact with some of the things going on in the world.
