So i went to this institute class for people with disabilities to volunteer and help around, i can said its been a great experience, i thought it was going to be hard to teach disable people principles about the gospel, but when i got there and saw the way the lesson was imparted i realized the importance of the use of technology in this kind of classes.
the teacher used the projector to show a video clip about the savior, right when the video clip started to play all the people there recognized the Savior and all said " that is Jesus" i was impress of how easy they recognized Him.
Some of the kids need some auditive technology to be able to listen better or to see better, and they are able to be in the class because the devices they use.
The teacher kept the attention of each one of them through the movies and music she is always playing at class.
I think technology is so great when we gave it the right use.

Internet Safety
So while i was watching all the videos for this assignment i realized the importance of giving good use of the technology specially something like the Internet, Some of the information seem a little bit repetitive from my perspective, but it was probably because i watch everything in one sit, so it was kinda hard.
Also some of the video made see the big risk children have when they are expose to the internet without the right supervision, some of the stories where really scary and in some way disturbing at the same time i thought few where really extreme, but i guess the all completed their main purpose of be aware of the thing we see , do and watch over the internet.
Also Elder Russell M Ballard mention something related to this he said:"our biggest challenge is to choose wisely what we listen to and what we watch."
I like the way the article said is bad but he also said we need to do something about it we can not just evade or put a wall between us an the bad things out there but we need to let them know we had enough of it and we don't want it more around us.
Also Children sometimes do not recognize the danger so we need to set an example for them and teach them the way to look for valuable information over the internet and taking the right precautions

TPCK Reading
About this article it was a little bit hard for me to understand all the concepts so hopefully i got this right !
Content is what the teacher teach to students, the concepts or knowledge we are giving to the students. Pedagogy is the way this content is presented to the students, and finally the Technology are all the strategies or tools teachers use to help students adapt themselves to the environment and to get this knowledge easier to assimilate.
Then we have PCK that means Pedagogical content knowledge the main thing in here is the ways in which the subject is transform, for example teachers have to interprets the subject matter and they need to find different ways to represent it and make it accessible and easier to understand for the students.

Josh's Video
I really enjoyed watching the video, and i learned a lot form it, i think Josh is a really smart kid and all his improvement was based on the way he was taught.
This video made me realized the importance of teaching and adapting different techniques in the way you teach children.
Also the importance of using technology to create a easy alternative for children to understand and to practice the information they are learning.
