blog post 14: April 25

This video was a true eye opener for me as an individual and a future educator. These two videos showed me how students are getting so involved with new technology. I think it is GREAT how the seventh grader new about blogging and how it has enhance her education. Her PLE was truly organized and filled with so many activities that she found of interest. She had her classwork on one side and her personal things on the other side. She also does a good job at explaining how she goes to the Internet and search many things about science and other subjects. The presentations were very detailed from videos embedded in and brief descriptions of each topic. She also is very determined in finding what she wants. She never gave up on getting a scientist opinion on her work.

The video on the two questions was also very interesting to me as a future educator. The two questions really gets you thinking about your purpose in life. It also makes you determined to do better the next day and on to the next. WHAT'S MY SENTENCE?? & WAS I BETTER THAN YESTERDAY?? These two questions in my opinion are good ways to climb up the ladder of success in life.

Houston spring break

comments 4kids# 10

For this week the student I had to comment on was Seini-Mino. This student was assigned to discuss how he or she feels about learning. The student stated that learning is so important because it can help you in your future. I totally agree education is the key to success. The student also stated that he or she loved to read. Reading is also a very important concept that you will use into adulthood.

Incorporating blogging in the classroom:


As a future educator I think allowing the students to blog will be a good idea. It would allow the students to express themselves about certain topics. It would also reveal gifts and hobbies that he or she didn't know about. It would also be a good idea for the students to keep up with homework assignments if they may get sick. The Internet also allow them to communicate with other students in other schools all over the U.S. This is one of the activities I plan on incorporating into my classroom for my students.

Interview

I interview my SY112 instructor. We basically discussed the idea of Wal-Mart being in all the different cities in the US. The conversation was very interesting and lasted about 30 minutes. Basically Wal-Mart is a monopoly and comes into neighborhoods and make the small business loose money. Loosing money due to Wal-Mart cause them to close down their shops and find other ways to make money for their family and to pay bills in the household. I think Wal-mart should not be designed to do such things but that is how it happen each and every day. Wal-mart is designed to be a one stop store and that is how it gets people trap. Basically it make citizens lazy and they don't want to go and support other stores in their area. We also discussed how Wal-mart does not treat their employees well either. The store does offer good insurance for its employees. The insurance wal-mart offer is to expensive. Having this conversation opened my eyes to many things in life.

Teaching someone how to use technology

I will be teaching my parents how to use the Internet:

First find an area that has a computer and Internet access. Second turn on the computer and wait until it loads up. Check to make sure it operates properly. Third go to the start menu and look for the Internet icon. You also have the option to hit the Internet icon on the desktop. Then you are ready to access the Internet and search for what ever you may desire. The Internet allows people to do so much from projects, paying bills, shopping, and so much more.

Survey

I did my survey about allowing regular and special education students together in the classroom. I basically wanted to see the opinions of what my fellow classmates thought about this topic. Some of my classmates felt the same as I did and some felt different. Having these students together may or may not be an good idea. You can check out my responses at the bottom URL.

Skype conversation

I used skype to talk to one of my cousins in Birmingham. We basically discussed how school was going in described how Mobile and Birmingham are on different levels when it comes to music and clothes. The traffic is totally different to. If you can't keep up at 80mph get off the road. You will get knocked off the road. I have been there like three times myself and I loved it. It is a nice city but the traffic is bananas. The conversation lasted about 40 minutes.

Zax: North/South direction:

This video was an good example of how some educators or mangers do not want to move from the same way of doing something. Change is always good. Some people get so use to doing things one way their whole life they do not want to change. The video also points out the world is going to continue to move on even if you do not keep up.

PS 22 Video:

This video was also a good eye opener for future educators. It showed how students good work should be published and praised. Praising student work allows them to do better in school and with their future endeavors. The video also allowed the students to express themselves through music. The students really enjoyed what they were doing you could tell by how they were so emotionally into the song.

Student: Johnathan:

The student that I was assigned to comment on was Johnathan. In his blog post he gave realist descriptions of how nature was talking to him while he was laying in the grass. He used verbs that gave human qualities to objects around him. He also did a very good job at describing how one cloud looked like an dinosaur to him.

blog post # 11

Mr. Chamberlain & Kaia:

This blog post shared some good information for educators and parents. It shows that education starts at any age. Points out that education is also very important and that it should not be played with. I would like to applaud the father for making sure his daughter is exposed to learning in different ways. This blog post shows students that they can communicate all over the world. Also, learn and exchange ideas or the way students/adults live in other cities. This example my also open the eyes of students and educators. It may show educators a different way of coming up with a lesson plan or show students they may enjoy the outdoors to.

Joe Dale:

I was assigned to comment on Mr. Dale blog post on his website. This blog post had some helpful information for future educators. He basically focused on integrating technology into the classrooms. Further down on his page he explains how to set up a twitter account, how to work on your PLN, and how to use the voice band on an iPhone. This page has good information on how to communicate different ways in today's society. The one thing that caught my eye was when Christine Terrey discusses the importance of education. She stated that education should be celebrated. In her speech she discussed how show and tell is extended learning.

Joe Dale #2:

I was assigned to comment on one of his current post. In this recent post he discussed the advantages of the iPadio. It is basically designed to capture audio more quickly and has a good value to it. He also has a video to show future teachers and students how it can be used to do projects and other great educational things. The world of technology is continuing to grow each year and over the past months. This blog post was a good example of how to incorporate new tools in the classrooms.


Jim Sullivan:

Mr. Sullivan blog post discusses how twitter is a good source of free writing. Twitter allows you to publish your opinion on any topic each day of the week. It is a good way to express your self for free he points out. Each day twitter set up a list of discussion questions and you and friends can debate about that topic all day if you want. This was a good point that Mr. Sullivan made in his blog post.
