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.

blog post assign.2
Michael Wesch: A vision of Students Today
This video does a good job pointing out different pros and cons of students lives today. The students also made some good points to. The video paints the picture of the average student in today's society. Showed how students waste their money, time, and education. One student made the point that I fellow classmate pay to go to school but never comes. Why would you pay to go to school and never come to class???? There are other citizens out there that would like to have your spot but can not afford it. The students on the video showed how they waste so much time using the Internet, testing, face booking, and tweeting. The time used for the computer could be used studying lesson. Another, good point was that students buy high priced books and half of the time do not use them at all.
It's not about the technology:
This post was very helpful to future educators like me. Mrs. Hines does a good job with this post. She looks at the subject at different perspectives. The main thing I got from this blog is that educators should evolve, adapt, and learn. She also, states that technology can be a good thing long as the instructor heart is in the right place. Technology is a different way of integrating lesson plans into the classrooms. This can help the educator and the students at the same time. Everyone should be willing to learn new thing as today's society upgrades each year.
Fisch: Is is okay to be a technologically Illiterate teacher??:
This blog post encourages educators to learn about different applications about computers. I think this is a very good idea considering that most of the citizens all over the US is using them. This blog makes some good points about this topic. It points out that it is okay to know and learn about computers. Teachers should be able to use technology because most of today's society is integrating computers into lesson plans. I think every citizen should be able to use or learn about a computer because each year something new comes out and the world is using them more. For example, most company's is moving from paper applications to computer applications.
Gary's Social Media Count:
Gray came up with a good idea to show citizens how much they are using computers. The idea of having statistics of different web sties usage is very interesting. It shows how the world evolves around the computer in today's society. But statistics has it pros and cons to it. Statistics change every day and are not exact. This project of Internet usage shows how citizens spend most of their time day in and day out.

blog assignment one
Did you know??:
This video points out current events that take place in today's society that citizens do not pay attention to. The main topic that caught my eye was when the video compared American students to students in China. It stated how China have more honor students than American students. This can be caused by many reasons. For example: Depending on the family background about education beliefs has a lot to do with this idea. In one family education is very important and in another family it my not be as important. The video also points out how citizens keep their jobs less than five years. This was a big eye opener for me. This is so very true in today's society. The world is moving very rapidly and changes every year. Business open for a couple of years then closes down a couple years later.
Mr. Wrinkle Wakes:
Mr. Wrinkle in this video make very important points on how important a student's education is. He looks from two different prospectives. one in the school and the other at the hospitals. He goes into detail about how the hospitals had all this wonderful and new technologies being used. He is very detailed in his observations as he walks through the buildings. The video paints a good mental picture of how the schools should be and not be. When, he goes into the school he finds out that the schools have the same set up as it was in his time. Students were just sitting at the desk and listening to the lecture. It is more to education than just paper and pencil. I got a lot form this video. But, the main thing I got from it was that students should be challenged.
Ken Robinson:
I really enjoyed Mr. Robinson presentation, it outlined ways to encourage education and how to make it enjoyable. The topic that caught my attention was about students making mistakes. He makes a good point about this topic. He discusses how making mistakes are part of learning and should not be taken out of proportion if it happens in the classroom. He also, states yelling at the student is not a good idea either. Just encourage the student by helping them through the problem. Another, good topic was about allowing the student to be creative. This is such a good point. The students should be allowed to express themselves so they can be comfortable. Being creative also shows his or her abilities in any subjects. I am going to take this idea and run with it and use it in my classroom. Thanks Mr. Robinson.
Harness your digital smarts:
Mrs. Davis does a good job at coming up with a diverse way of teaching her students. I also, love how she show her passion for helping students learn. She makes a good point, when she stated that teaching students come from more than just paper and pencil. Mrs. Davis focus on hands on actives and that always get the students attention when they are just not in one spot. Her class is based on learning how to use many and different technologies. I really like the idea stating that teachers do not have to know everything. Also, that having students teach the instructor some things is fine to. She also, paints a good picture of how instructor should have a passion for what they do. Not just to take a job but, do it because you enjoy doing it.
