This is How We Dream Parts 1& 2:
These two videos will be a good help or warning for future educators that do not know how to use a computer. In my opinion all future educators should know the basic operations of computer and learn about what they have to offer to the educator and student at the same time. It is the educator job to make sure they are trained properly about how to use the computers and also learn the different applications that are on it. If it is possible they educator need to research where classes are offered to learn about them. Basically the two videos how leaning has change from century to century. He talks about how writing has went from paper and pencil to globalizing. Mr. Miller also, discuss how citizens are living in a digital environment. Points out how collaborating is also used on computers. The video gives a good example of how computers are convenient to those that do not want to go to the library. He stated how he had to do a project for his job and did not have to step a foot out the house. Another, good example is that the computers allow you to do sound, visual, and printable documents all at once.
Network Student:
This was a big eye opener for me. This video is also a good video for future educators. This video shows what learning is all about. Basically a network student knows the ends and outs of communicating with people all over the world. This student is also learning and picking up different skills that will help them in their future endeavors. The student knows how to get in contact with authors, professors, and film makers. I think this is so amazing for a student to know how to communicate like this and share the information that they fine. In the video it stated how the student found information on American Psyche. He took this information to get in touch with experts to talk to his class. This student presents how technology is so great and how helpful it can be. It also give them commutation skills with people in the business world. Then, towards the end of the video it gives good reasons why this student still need assistance from a instructor. Some examples: the educators shows how to network, school them on good information from bad, guidance when stuck, how to communicate properly, and ask respectfully for help for the experts.
Dr. Wesch: The machine is changing us...
Discusses how computers will cause some people to loose interest in reading books. He also makes a good point about how the media changes our conversation. That is true because once you listen to certain things you become attach to it. Just like that saying: you are what u eat. The video makes good points on the students attention spans in the classrooms. He compares the students in this generation to the older generation in how their schools was designed. It is always good to go back and compare how the school systems have change and how students attitudes have change on certain things. This video was very helpful.

PLN: personal learning networks
In my opinion having a PLN is very helpful for future educators. It allows you to receive certain opportunities that will help you in your classroom. It is a good way to keep in touch with educators all over the US. The main thing I am going to use as an future educator is beg, borrow, and steal. It is fine to borrow ideas from your school family. A PLN is a good way to get ideas for projects and other things that might be a wonderful help to get a lesson plan done or what ever the case may be. I have a twitter account that allows me to follow different people. It also allows me to gather ideas from other educators all over. I have also followed Ms. Darah Bonham on her blogger page. I chose to join her because she have good ideas that will be a good help for future educators. She also may good points about technology in the classroom. Also, she takes a look at the big business and how they affect the economy. LPN is a very good idea for future educators and it should be taken advantage of.
COMMENTS 4KIDZ #4
For this week I had to make a comment for one of the students in Mrs. Geoerend's Class. The student name is Callie Z. His topic he chose to talk about was "How to play basketball". He did a very good job at describing step by step of what to do. He knew exactly what he was talking about. I also, could tell that he was on a basketball team or have been on one before. The thing that caught my eye the most is when he discussed how the body needs water or Gatorade so it does not dehydrate. That shows that he also knows about science and how the body works. He did a very good job!!!!

Darah Bonham: Mobile Home On Main Street:
Ms. Bonham does a good job at discussing the cons of big corporations coming into neighborhoods. The best example she gave was Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is a big corporation that comes into neighborhoods and cause the moms and pops stores to loose money. This cause change to the economy and affects families. This is a huge social problem that is going on in today's society. Then, she goes into detail about how technology in the classroom is a good idea. In my opinion technology is a good idea to incorporate into the classroom because students find interest in technology. So why not teach through technology??? They will learn so many skills that will help them in their future endeavors. Ms. Bonham also points out how these skills can perhaps allow the future generations to make better business.
Darah Bonham: Mobile Home on Main Street: Design Work in our Schools:
In this blog post Ms. Bonham discusses ways educators should change the way they teach. I think she made a good point. For example, she stated that educators teaches a subject and want the end product to be this certain way. Educators should find other ways to teach their students and not just go by a lesson plan all the time. In the blog it discusses Ideas Culture Program. It is basically a program filled with brain stormers that come up with a solution to a problem. I think this is a good way to get educators involved with gathering skills of different ways to improve their students educational setting.
Darah Bonham: Mobile Home on Main Street: Your state not get race to the top finds, no worries try the Pepsi challenge:
In this blog post Ms. Bonham discusses President Obama innovative plan for the local schools. President Obama basically have a plan in mind that will help educators/future educators with money problems. The plan will allow educators to be worry free. They will be able to incorporate innovative ideas in the classrooms. Ms. Boham discusses the social problem, which is educators not being able to do certain activities in the classrooms because of low funds. She states the social problem then give examples of how to make the situation better. She gives the example of how Pepsi came up with an idea and makes it happen. This was a good blog that educates future educators of what he or she may be faced with.

Blog post6
Dr. Christie's site:
Her website is very helpful to educators and future educators. The website focused on so many ways to present information to students in the classroom. The link that caught my eye was the workshop. It is basically a visual that help the students learn the lesson for that day. The application is called Web 2.o. It basically focus on mapping mash-ups and she states how students can use this to incorporate their research. This site also, offer researchers and educators new ways of presenting and analyzing data.
iTunes University:
Allows the students to transfer music to an I pod or I phone. This site is very helpful to students to access and quick. It is also designed for sharing. i Tunes users can open their play lists to any other i Tunes user. This website also, allow students and educators to make and access podcast. This website is very helpful to educators and students in presenting and gathering educational information for research.
Duke University:
As I did some research on this university I found out a lot of information. Here is the website that I visited cit.duke.edu/pdf/reports/ipod_initiative_04_05.pdf. This college first year interbreeding i pods into the classrooms was 2005. The students have academic i pod projects that they have to do within the school semester. The students enjoyed using the i pod to learn and present academic material in a different way. The use of the i pod increased the frequency and depth of student interaction with audio course content through portable and flexible access offered by the i pod. We all know that i pods has so many features and allow you to do so many things. For example, downloading music, searching the web, pod casting, and cooking a nice dinner.
Technologically Literate Teacher:
Is basically a teacher that knows the computer inside and out. Everyone will not become a technologically literate teacher. It is fine not to be in my opinion. I feel that every teacher should know the basic operations of a computer from pod casting and searching the web. Educators should also, feel fine with upgrading their teaching devices. For example, some educators still use or have the overhead in their classrooms. It is okay to upgrade to a smart board. As long as that educator gets schooled on how to use the device and use its features. The features on new technology in today's society has so many helpful ideas and information that will benefit the students and the educator at the same time.

comments 1,2,&3 4kids
I viewed three different videos for the comments for kids assignment.
I was assigned to make a comment on a student name ANDEE video. He basically made a video outlining how to make pancakes. I found it very interesting that a student at this age was able to instruct someone else on how to make it. I also, enjoyed it because I love to cook myself.
I also, watched a video about two older students that compared a PC and a MAC. I found this video to be very funny and interesting at the same time. The students did a good job at getting their points across to their audience. A lot of people feel that a MAC is better is than a PC. But, this video shows that both computers have pros and cons.
I was also, assigned to make a comment on one of Mrs. Goerend's students. The student name was Sydney. The student basically made an poem about snow. He or she does a good job at painting a mental picture of how cold the snow is. I could really feel the cold snow how it was explained.

BLOG POST5...
Wickipedia:
This blog brings good points to students and educators attention about how unreliable the site is. Since I been in the school system as a youngster I was taught not to use the site. The website is basically an online encyclopedia that can be change at any time of the day or month. It is very opinionated and should not be used to get information for a project or what every the case my be. Wickipedia is basically a site for your entertainment and not anything to serious. The website gave an good example of how people can go and change information on Wickipedia. The example was how this company went into the website and deleted fifteen paragraphs off the site. This example should open the eyes of citizens who may think about using this site as a reference.
"What I've Learned This Year":
The author of this blog does a very good job at schooling future educators. He basically outlines how he first started out his career as an educator. Tells how he had the perfect lessons plan made out and it did not work out. That is how educating students work out, lesson plan may fall through or you may have to just go with the flow. Education is a learning process for the educator and the student at the same time. He made a good point about making your lesson plans student centered. The students are the main focus in the classroom. They are the future generation and their education is so important.
The teacher desk website:
This website was very interesting and gave good reasons why blogging and videos should be integrated into the classrooms. A lot of students are into using computers in today's society. So why not keep their attention by allowing them to use computers in the classrooms from pod casting and videos. The students are gaining social skills and learning at the same time. I think pod casting is a very good way to keep the students involved in the classroom.

Blog assign. 4
All of the websites that were given for us to watch had some good information for future educators to use. It also, made some good points of why pod casting should be integrated into the classrooms. The educators in the videos had good examples to back up what they had to say about pod casting. There were two links that caught my eye. I watched the fist link and it discussed pod casting as a way of enhancing education.
Langwitches: Is a website that discusses pod casting and how parents feel about it. He makes a good point about pod casting. He stated that it is a way of enhancing education to students in a way that will keep their attention. I totally agree with him. The example of parents getting upset about their children using computers to learn was a good example. We all know that parents freak out when they hear their children are learning from computers. Parents do this because they are so use to paper and pencil. They also point out that technology allow students to pick up on listening skills, auditory skills, technology skills, and organizational skills. I feel that long as the students are learning have at it.
The second link was also very interesting. It discusses the benefits of pod casting in the classroom. It brought to my attention how this generation of children are using technology day in and day out. So why not teach with technology??? It is something students enjoy doing. This web site gave the best example of how helpful pod casing is. The skit went like this....A student was to sick to come to class. But, she was still able to prepare for her big test that was coming up. She was able to do so because her instructions uses pod casting and post all the assignments and study guides online.
The videos on numbers 28 & 29 was also a big help. It gave you a good tour of how to start your own podcast. It basically shows you how to start from scratch. All the websites that were provide was a big help for future educators.

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.

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.

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.

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.
