In recent years, buy the help of technology, education facility diversified to several areas. For education of special need children, technology is so helpful for example. Thesedays we are talking about useful sides of technology in our daily teaching lives. We are learning that we need to use the last edition of technology in our classroom environment. As a prospect teacher we need to be familiar with these issues.
However, this does not mean that we need to fosuc on only technological development and get away from traditional education techniques. Children of todays' world, we face with positive and negative results. While we are trying to educate children in a good way, we also have to compete with technology mania. Literacy is also always changing. In today's world we used to communicate via text messaging, instant messaging, cell phones and etc... We are so far from face to face communication day by day. Our next generation has already grown up by these communication techniques and we need to do something immediately to stop this extraordinary changes in all our lives.
Classic Literacy techniques like novel is not seen as useful as internet. I think this is a critical time in the field of literacy. As a teacher of future we need to learn to balance between classic literacy and internet based education.

assessment
From my point of view, assessment is a great tool to evaluate the developments negatively or positively. A teacher can use the assessment techniques for herself or for students. From the side of teacher he or she may want to learn is he or she gives relevant and efficient information to children. And from the side of students teachers and families may understand their students or children’s development from the results of assessments. Actually I do not want to mean that all assessment results are accurate but most of the time they work very well. We as a teacher only need to add some missing part to that. For example an in-class observation, individual conversations, peer group observation always should be added to regular testing. Otherwise we may forget to look crucial details. In this regards teachers and families may work together and we can reach a whole picture about a child.
For example when I was a first grade student, my writing was not so good. Due to being a huge class I did not have sufficient attention from my teacher. Therefore I could not go through well. And all my tests I was so excited and due to anxiety I had real trouble in the exams. I got low scores. Then my mother understood that something is wrong with my writing. Then she was interested in me for two weeks. Only in two weeks I reached my friends and I had a good score. The only my need is more attention. So only testing is not enough assessment strategy because there are a lot of factor may affect performance while testing. Assessment is a total subject. As a prospect teacher we need to be careful about our ways of assessment.

literacy
What did I get from the readings in terms of thinking about reading and literacy?First of all I need to say that literacy text is full of information that a prospective teacher should know in detail. Literacy is a science and it has very significant effects on nations’ lives.The first article which is about books with picture is really helpful for teacher especially for early childhood teachers as me. Children can easily lose their focus while reading. They are growing up in an environment that supplies every need. They are always looking for more. To create an environment which is attractive for children is really difficult job. However by the help of picture book, this job is easier. The word and meaning correlation can be shown by picture books. In addition, especially kindergarten students are too young to understand entire meaning of some words but to show the meaning with the help of pictures make them understand better. I think that visualization is always help to teach something. With visual images some children may surprise with every different pages and it encourages teachers to work efficiently more. From my point of view books with picture is crucial achievement about literacy. Even as a big children, we enjoy to reads books with picture.What are some of the key issues that stick out to me?I learnt that literacy is a real science which has big effects on nation’s lives. When we go through the history of literacy we can understand this better. Education is one of the most important subjects for people’s life quality. We need to teach, we need to be responsible for next generations with providing necessary knowledge for them. I also think that we are in very well conditions, everything is ready for us; books, magazines, internet, archives. We are so lucky and we have also additional responsibility by having these opportunities.What am I wondering most about?I am wondering about the last text which is about open court. First of all I want to indicate that the interaction between teacher and students is crucially important for the quality of education. Without this interaction, education in school means nothing to me. You can prepare a script for children and give the education at home or in a laboratory or anywhere else. Why are we collecting children in the school? I am really upset about this issue. How can somebody bother teachers who really want to be helpful for children? Open court is a system that may negatively affect education facility in a long term process. And this system is in contrast with the real aim of education facility itself. Another issue of the text is discrimination. The school that has higher income level –students white and upper economic class members- have flexibility about this program. But in lower economic stage districts there are enforcements. Where is NCLB Act? Silence of teachers may cause illiterate future generations.
