Conversation # 62 found on (Ed tech talk):
This conversation was involved with a group of teachers from different parts of the world. They did a lot of talking by introducing each other and discussing where they are from. It would have been a good idea for them just to state what the topic of discussion was going to be about. The educators did have some good ideas to share and help future educators. The topic was about different I POD applications that can be used in the classroom. The main thing they focused on was to tell educators many ways I POD applications can be integrated into the classroom. This also, is a good example of how to get your students attention. Education is more than paper and pencil.

Ed tech weekly #151:
This talk show basically discuss statics in the year of 2009. They compare Internet users to cell phone users. They also discuss how the numbers are very low and how shocking it is to them. The statics show that 1.4billion citizens used the Internet in the year of 2009. The talk show host found this very shocking because he thought it would be about the same amount as cell phone users. Statics showed that 5billion people used cell phones. But, what he fells to realize is that a lot of people are moving away from the idea of computers. Cell phones will now allow people to almost anything. It allows you to do the same computer applications as a computer would do.

Instructional Design Live:
This talk show was different then the others. It was set up as an interview. The male that was being interviewed was named Robert. The program was basically set up to ask Robert how he perused his career in instructional design. He stated that this is something he truly enjoys doing each and every day. He talks about many applications that are available out there that educators could use to integrate into the classroom. He also, mentioned that he has an online class where he teaches on this subject to students all over the US. He talks about different type of blogs that would help the students express themselves and learn at the same time.

Teachers Teaching Teachers (Ed tech talk):
This talk show had a very good idea of how to get the students involved in the school lesson. But, the idea has it pros and cons to it. The topic was discussing gaming. The idea of this gaming was to integrate games into the lesson to help students learn. This is a good idea of teaching through gaming. Students would love to learn in a different way instead of the normal way of paper and pencil. The teachers are schooling other teachers on ways to get gaming into the classroom for a lesson plan. The negative side is that you as and educator you do not want to make the mistake of picking gaming and use it it the wrong way. Make sure the game enhances the lesson by making it fun and the students are learning at the same time.

Smart board lesson #134:
This show is good for educators to listen to because many classrooms in today's society have smart boards. Every educator should be willing to learn about the smart board. They should learn about it because it has so many features that could enhance your students learning abilities. They give you so many examples of how to use the smart board. They show you how to use the applications that the smart board offers. Give examples of good lesson plans. Educate you on how to integrate the smart board into the classroom. It is a good way to teach a lesson to the students. It would be a waste not learn how to use it.

FETC Teachers Present: (learning/teaching with Pod casting) KID CAST:
This kid cast was very funny to me. The students put on a skit to help show you how to do your first pod cast. It basically takes you through the steps of how to get one started. From step one all the way down to the next... It also, generates may ideas of integrating pod casting into the classrooms. Pod casting also give the students opportunities to express themselves through learning.


The three videos that was posted on the website gave good information for future educators. Each video painted a important picture. They opened my eyes to things I did not notice. The first video about first graders was interesting. The students knew exactly what they were doing. They could take an adult and school them on how to use this technology. The skills the students have is very amazing to me. This video just show how students are getting very smart with technology in today's society. The baby was also an eye shocker to me. I have a little cousin and knows to much to be a two year old that it is scary. Children just are being introduced to a lot of things in this generation. It is okay long as it it good information that would help them on their future endeavors.
