They Might Look Little but they have Big Media Potential/ Ms. Cassidy's Class
Media Literacy in the First Grade (Ms. Cassidy's Class) and Little Kids…Big Potential are video podcasts of first grades ages five and six showing the general public that they are able to take you to blog sites and teach you how to use the internet. One student says that her vocabulary has increased by doing this and another student says that he is able to ask better questions. It’s amazing how students as early as first grade are able to utilize technology quickly and efficiently. The apart that intrigued me was the boy that instructed how we should comment on others post. He says that like the age old saying from mom, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” That is true to comments too.

It really is amazing how much children can learn and how quickly they can catch on to things. The students that are working on this are going to be far ahead of the other kids their age who have not had this type of experience at this early of an age. And I love the part about how he said that you should comment on blogs. It is true that if you don't have anything good to say that you do not need to post it on the internet, just don't say anything at all.
