Blog Post # 8

For the "This is how we dream" videos, there are many ways pointed out about how to get around on the internet. Richard Miller is the guy who puts on these videos, and the first thing he points out is how we write things are important. He also points out the fact that where each individual works is very important, because that can dictate how much money will end up in your account. He has a site where which he is head of which is called academic online where anyone can log in at and learn information from multiple sources. He then points out a network technology area where people communicate over line by recording themselves with their own computer.
He points out that his site has holds information for workers where they can actually do their work over the internet which can save a lot of energy in the body. On the site there are categories where subjects are listed to talk about whatever it is you are interested in learning about. There is a part in the second video that mentions how you can build things from the site with specifics where you can build it how you like it. Not only can you make the design of the buildings, but you can control the electric part as well, and everything one needs in the building, like air conditions as well.
Using technology for building gives a better chance of living our dreams as Miller mentions. I do agree with him because with technology there is an unlimited area of space to see how much you can do to build your buildings.


For Carly's # 12 Post, she starts out by explaining how she saw that blog post #12 is every student's own design and she takes advantage of it! After reading the comments for Carly's post, I realized that many students did admit that they came up with more ideas with ways they will teach in the future. Some others who commented mentioned how Carly points out how it is important for a teacher to figure out their philosophy behind teaching. One girl said that she never knew that Carly's idea ever existed. To me, that is pretty impressive for Carly. All I see is good comments, which points out the explanation of why reading Carly's post #12 is an assignment for us in EDM 310.
I do like the ten points Carly tells us other students to question about ourselves about being teachers. Going by her ten points will help me in being a better teacher. I love her number 6, which is describe what a good teacher is and what a bad teacher is. For any student to be able to reply to the ten things Carly mentions without hesitating can point out students who know more about teaching than others. The idea of her inspirational playlist is a very good idea to me, because it does not seem boring for us students to read, or anyone to read. She really did a good job on her post about ways of pointing out facts of teaching.


Based on watching the two student videos on procrastinating and edm310 for dummies, I came up with an idea for a video I would like to help create. I would like my video to be about the fact that every single student entering EDM310 is at their own knowledge level with technology. With this being made clear at the beginning of the video, then the video could mention all of the different network sources that edm310 students have to learn to use. I think it would also be effective if there is a point that states that not everybody is good with technology as others are, and I think that this fact is avoided by a lot of people including certain SI students. I think it is also a good idea if the video includes a scene where the SI students are there for any questions at any times. This video seems like nothing new, but honestly if it were done, it could help everyone in the classroom realize that there are people in here that are not good with technology and that those people really do need help.


For the video on Learn to Change, Change to Learn, I like how these people are upfront about how different the school system is compared to how students are outside of school in the real world. Honestly, this is the video I have been waiting on to see because I feel like this will help there be a transition in the education field. Being that educators made this youtube video, I feel like it has potential to help other educators realize the cold facts that the original makers are saying in this video. One guy in the later part of the video says that different types of technology ways of learning are already around the world in today's world. I did not know that schools were already doing this! Also, when he says this, it helped me as an individual learn that there can be more than just one technology way of learning. The flip side to that in my opinion is that there is a bigger chance of students being able to "hack" into the educational technology sources with the fact that there is more than just one direct way. I really like the vibe I get from the people who made this video, because it seems like a main thing all of these people want to accomplish in schools is really to make things closer for students to how they act outside of school related to how they are in school.

For the 3 out of 5 topics we have to choose from, the first one I choose is on number 2, about finding a site where you can pay to make your own site. The cool thing about the source I found, which is called "Ning", is that you can pay $19.95 for a whole year to create your own personal mini site. This could be useful for a person who wants to worry about a specific area of study. For the second of three things, I am doing number one, about finding a site where you can be viewed as a teacher and the one I chose is called Classroom 2.0. I could use classroom 2.0 to post all of my assignments on a certain link that my students would know because I would make sure to print out my specific blog url to each student. On my site, I could have videos posted on the site that is me lecturing specific math course and for each video, there would be a name for each video so each student would know where to go. Also on this site, I would have a question link for any student and/or parent to ask me any question at any time. For the third thing I have to do, I will pick number 4 which is about picking a video tool that I have never used before. The one I chose is under the site called digimi.com. On this site, it has so many specifics that people who make video games are even using this site as a source. You can change just about anything you want about any picture you want to choose from. You can have your character at any type of angle you want with any type of facial expression. The shorter answer about this site is really-"What can I not do?".

Project 9b: Past 10 Presidents of the United States

.

This is my embed code for my timeline on Presidents. If you go to this, I will admit right now that I do not have specific dates of the actual day the Presidents became Presidents, although I will say that each year becoming and year ended for each President are there. Other than that, if you click on the President name once you go to my embed code, you will see a fact or two or three about each president.

C4T Post 2

For Mr. Kemps writing, the link to where I left my comment at is at http://mrkemp.tumblr.com/post/12820186861/elected-officials-legislators-governors-mayors#disqus_thread. He talks about how in the education field, things should not only be decided by the elders that have Majored in the Education field. See, all of those people are around the same things and there are more Majors and Minors that require a lot more learning than in the Education field. I point that out to refer back to the point Kemp was saying. I think that in the school systems, they should have monthly meeting in cities with atleast a certain amount of people living in it. For the meeting months, only people that have graduated college and working with college jobs are welcome. It would not matter if they were in the Education field or not, just as long as everyone in the meeting graduated college at some degree and has a current job at stake under the degree earning. At the meetings, everyone of those people get a chance to explain what helped them get through college. I think this could be effective because it is getting a big group of people that are successful and figuring out the higher amounts of "ways of teaching" sohuld be.

Project #10 1st Progress Report for my PLN

For my PLN, I know to use google chrome. I do use Facebook and Twitter, there for I will know to add those to my PLN. I learned today to ass google scholar to it also, which is a device that you can type any question in and it give sites and their ratings. I checked out the symbaloo type of PLN device to use, and it looks like something that will be easy to deal with, therefor I am planning to use that device for my PLN. I love to learn and laugh from original videos, so I will add youtube to my PLN. Knowing the weather forecast can be important in many of my situations, therefor I will add a weather app. I will have an image app, and maybe a voice changer type of app. I know that ebay and craigs list will be added only because I am trying to find deals on dirtbikes and drums, and at the same time, I am trying to sell my marching snare drum. if anyone who reads this is interested, email me! News is important, so I could use a local and world wide news so I could realize what is happening somewhat all around me. I will have a hotwire app for booking hotels for cheap. I know to get this because I am going to 6 flags on Spring Break, and I am excited because I hardly have any time for the word fun anymore. A diet fitness app can let you know what to eat and what not to eat, and at the same time I am trying to stay healthy. Pandora is a free site that keeps playing music, and you can choose whatever music you want. One thing I have always liked about Pandora is how you can "like" a song, that way that computer system will know to eventually play the same song again in time, since you liked it. Another thing I like about Pandora is how you can hit the "next" button, that is if you do not really like the song, which happens to me a lot. I am sure there is something down the line that is important that I have missed, but at the same time, this will be good to look at for me for when I make my PLN. This will probably make my internet use so much more easier and faster.

Blog Post #7

For the video Network Student by wdrexler, it is a shorter video than a lot of others, yet I do think applying this can be useful for every student. It takes a student at the beginning before his use of any computer device and sets him up a correct way of using the internet for school use. The kid in the video is studying American Psychology in one of his classes at his school. His teacher does not go by the text book, and says that it is good to go by the term connectivism which is looked at as a social network on the internet that is looked at as a great way of learning. A key thing the teacher explains to her students in this class is to connect with the other students in the class, that way each student can see the progress of the other students and of course can learn what they learned by reading their posts.
The kid in the video uses Google Scholar as his source to look up validly good sites that are correct for a school student to look at. Every good rated site he gets, he records that site on his social network, so every student can get the chance to go that site and learn what he did. From the network site for he and his fellow students, he has the choice of what other student's blog he wants to comment on. Since he has learned information from the source google scholar, he is now able to comment in a valid way to his other classmates posts. He eventually produces his own blog and not only do his fellow classmates have access to comment on the blog, but anybody in the world on the network site he is on can comment on his blog. People can comment who know more information, so the kid reading comments posted on his blog can help him realize additional specific things about whatever topic.
The kid has a mp3 player and realizes that there are ways of learning from this device. He uses iTunes U, which is a device that has thousands of audio recordings and videos from professors teaching what they would in class. He soon realizes that he can have access to sites where college professors teach, which lets him know that it is never a problem to ask questions about anything in life. The reason is because asking questions can and will only help you learn more knowledge in general. This network does indeed have a wide range of connections, which allows students to be able to go to that many more education sites, which can only mean for them to learn more if anything. I do not see any type of problem with the way this kid was taught how to use a computer.

The seventh grade girl knows a very good way to get around on her computer. I do like how her computer is set up to where she can go anywhere she wants from her home page. She explains that the way she does school work is so much better than with a pen and paper, and that she does not even need a pen for her class. So it is already heard of that computers are a legit tool for some United States students in the world. The big step and /or question is, "When is every student going to be able to do it her way?"

C4K# 4

The students name I am commenting on is Molly Smith and she is a 10th grader. The link to where I commented on her post is at http://modern-world.posterous.com/revolutionary-dominos. She mentioned the three revolutions that happened around World War I, which were the American Revolution, French Revolution, and the Haitian Revolution. I like how she mentioned that France was in a debt crisis after they fought with America in the war. She points out that it is ironic that the Haitian slaves supposedly claimed themselves as independent yet their county still seemed like it was a huge wreck. The most important thing she mentions is how the french revolution would not have been successful with out the American Revolution.

C4C #5

My person's names is Allison Cullar and in my opinion, she did do a good blog post #5. The link to her blog where I commented on is http://cullarsallisonedm310.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-assignment-5.html#comment-form. She did break the sections down like she was supposed to and gave some pretty legit opinions for each program. For the "Don't Teach your kids this stuff. Please?", I like how Allison agrees with Mr. Mcleod to an extent, yet she points out that technology can be looked at as bad. She also says that hand writing should still be one of the ways of learning. For Travis Allen's idea of the school working i pod invention, it seems like Allison likes the idea because I did not notice one thing bad she commented about it. The basic thing that I will point out is that I do not think every student in the United States will prefer this way of learning. So, if this device does indeed happen, I think at the beginning of each school year, every student signs up for either the i pod way of learning or the old school way of learning. For Allison's Jennifer Chamber's comment, she did not say much but I like the fact that she pointed out that with the use of the internet and technology, anything is possible. For the Kevin Robert's paragraph, the main thing I like about Allison's comment is the fact that teachers should manage their lap tops, cell phones, and i pods, just like they do on pen and paper. For the last section, Allison seems to like the multiple ideas of teaching methods for students. Like Allison mentioned she will do, I will also consider telling my students these ways of learning from Reading Rockets.
