Maroroa:
Is one of the students I was assigned to comment on their good work. Maroroa assignment was to do a video on what he did over the holidays. He did a very good job at explaining what he did with his friends. He stated that he played basket ball with his friends. He discussed how they had a good time.
Klay:
Is the other student I was assigned to comment on. This blog post was basically about how students should receive 30minute breaks after a lesson is taught. The student does a good job at giving his or her opinion and then giving examples to explain why he or she feel that way. I feel students should receive a little break. They should because they are overloaded with so much work. Everyone deserves a break after so much work.

Morgan Bayda/Dan Brown:
This was an open letter to educators or future educators. This blog post was a good eye opener to me as a future educator. It brings to the attention of how society moves forward in technology each year. It also points out how education has change over the years. In my opinion change is a good idea. If we learned school material the same way each year it would get boring over a period of time. Brown gave a good example of how the Internet is free. He stated that back in the day citizens had to purchase a map that pin points where they need to go. In today's society we can go online and get the information we need. I also love the quote that was stated: "Teaching is not about facts, its about empowering children to change the world."

ALEX: Alabama Learning Exchange:
This program is basically designed to help future educators in the classrooms. It is broken up into six different tabs. They are as follows: courses of study, web links, search, lesson plans, personal workspace, and podcast treasury. Each tab has many examples that you could use in the classroom. The personal workspace is very helpful it allows educator to keep lesson plans together and other material. It is another way to keep up with paper work because some educators have so much paper work that they can not keep up with it. The courses of study give you examples of how to teach each subject on that grade level. In my opinion this is a good program for future educators because it allows you to get prepared for the classroom. Also give you good examples of certain lessons plan. In the field of education beg, borrow, and steal is fine!!!
ACCESS: Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators and Students Statewide Program:
This program is designed for distance learning in public schools. It basically allow students to take classes that they would not be able to take in their school. I think this a good program because it allow students all over the US to use it. It also allows them to sign up for offered classes online that is not offered in their school. Some people may say this is good and bad at the same time. Some students may want to take advantage of this opportunity but can not afford to get a computer. Then someone may say their are libraries available for those students they do not have one. But you also got to look at transportation as being an issue also. Over all I think this is a good idea because it allow students to take advantage of a good opportunity.

Randy Pausch's Lecture:
This presentation was so helpful and amazing. It was filled with so much examples of life experiences for future educators. Mr. Pausch focused on childhood dreams, enabling other people dreams, and the lessons learned. He also talks about his different job experiences and the people he had to work with.
He basically discusses his childhood dreams and how they came to life. The one childhood dream I enjoyed the most was him wanting to join the football league. I like the fact he had a dream to play football and joined a team the age of nine years old. He described how his coach road him one day at practice. I think the coach had the right idea. Some of your students need to be road like that. Push them until they be successful. That is the best way to make sure your students are successful by pushing and encouraging them each and every day.
He gave an example of how educators can enable students dreams. An educator job is to encourage their students and let them know all things are possible. Mr. Pausch makes this happen by coming up with an class that allow students to work in groups. It was titled building virtual worlds I think..Basically the students were put into groups to come up with an invention in two weeks and present it.
I also find the dream fulfillment factory to be a good source or example for feature educators. Basically the program is set up for artists and technologists to work together to make different inventions. Mr.Pausch stated how it is basically video technology to teach people how to do certain things. The program was such a success that the program was offered their students sure internships.
He ends the presentation with lesson learned. He discusses how important parents, educators, mentors, and friends are to you as an individual. They are your encourager.They help enable your dreams. This video does a good job at showing future educators the route to go in the classroom setting.

COMMENT 4KIDS #5
This week comment for kids I was assigned to comment on a students blog named Michala. The student was assigned to state his opinion on how he feels about the Loch Ness Monster being real or fake. Michala did a very good job of stating his opinion and backing it up with facts. He did a very good job. His opinion was basically that he did not know if was real or fake. He said it could be real or it can be fake. He also states how the people that were there heard noises and the pictures were blurry. So basically it could go both ways. The monster could be real or fake.
