I said that my students will learn by memorization. Dr. Strange taught us that the "burpback method" is no longer acceptable nor useful. True the subjects I will teach, Social Science, is a lot of memorizing facts but I want my students to enjoy learning and retain it. I plan to teach Secondary education and if my students were anything like me, they will be bored of the same boring lectures. I want to find new and creative ways to teach my students!<br />
<br />
I am still a neat and organized person, so using a blog will be perfect for me. I can post syllabus, notes, etc., for my students and use less paper. I will like to use a SmartBoard for my lectures in class, my students would not be able to read my hand writing! I loved using the green screen and would like to use it in a big "end of the year" project. In reality all the tools and technology we used this semester can all be used in a classroom. The job as a teacher is the find which one is best suitable for the students. <br />

I went the Symbaloo route. As a educator in a ever evolving Internet world, I need to be organized with my websites. Symbaloo, too me, is the best choice because it is organized in a grid form and allows you to color code your item. There is also an app for you iPhone, so you can use it on the go. I've added several sites to my page like the History Channel, CNN, iTunes, ESPN and other sites that I might use.

It's being implemented by schools like Texas A&M. It is said that it is Big Brother watching you all over again, but with good intentions. They idea is that professors are able to look at their student's effort. They are given an digital textbook that has software to allow the teacher to see if the student has read it or not. <br />
<br />
3.)As a teacher I love the idea. I would be able to track my student's effort on their work. If a student came to me saying they did not understand the material, I could just check to see if he or she had read it. I would probably less lenient on a student if I know they are reading the material and are trying. <br />
<br />
4.)But as a student I probably wouldn't like it as much. I wouldn't have much wiggle room if I was to ask my teacher for extra credit when I he or she knows I haven't read all semester. I would definitely try and read a lot more if I knew the teacher could track my efforts. <br />
<br />
5.)Questions for the teacher: <br />
Do you like this technology?<br />
Is more beneficial in a small or larger classroom?<br />
Do you think this will help students? <br />
Will you use this in the future? <br />
<br />
6.)Questions for a student: <br />
Do you like this technology? <br />
Does it bother you knowing that your teacher is paying a close eye on you?<br />
Does it make you nervous?<br />
Will you try and read more? <br />
Do you even benefit from reading a text book?<br />
<br />
7.) I think there are both pros and cons to this technology. First I think it can be positive in changing some students study behavior. Knowing that the teacher can see if he or she read can have a effect. But I think it will have students nervous and always "looking behind them" and afraid of what the teacher might think of them not reading. Some students do better from not reading a text book. <br />

Blended learning is a form of education that combines face-to-face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities. The learning cycle consist of exploring, expanding, engaging, explaining, and then evaluating. When the two are combine students answer questions, elaborate, review and take summary quizzes. I think blended learning cycle can help teachers improve how they present a subject, involve the students and evaluate them. When I become a teacher I will think of using this strategy in my classroom because it will be very beneficial to the students. <br />

We decided to create a movie about surviving the class. It will include the top ten most important steps to surviving the class. It will include things that will help future student prepare for the class. For instance going to class, if students do not go to class then they will not know about changes to assignments that Dr. Strange may have. We hope our survival guide will help enhance future students prepare for this class.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-69174276492681349222013-04-14T21:24:00.001-05:002013-04-15T00:00:42.559-05:00Blog Post #12Since I plan on being a history teacher I decided to create a history assignment. <br />

<br />
The teacher discusses his plans to teach his students about racism and the struggle people have gone through. But he thought that his students may not be ready or mature enough to discuss it. <br />
<br />
http://www.michaelkaechele.com/when-things-dont-go-as-planned/#comment-2936 <br />
<br />
The teacher started to discuss when he went over racism with his students. He didn't expect them to get off topic and bring up personal experience of racism.

They get to use so much technology in the classroom. Each student has their own blog to post on certain topics. This helps them with grammar and writing skills. They get really excited when others comment on them. They also have a class webpage that has links to other learning sites. They can use this webpage to study up on a certain topic or they can use it in their spear time. The students use Wiki pages to learn about rituals and the alphabets. They posted videos about alphabets and received response videos from EDM310 students. Mrs. Cassidy's students use Skype to communicate with other students miles away and are able to ask professors from colleges questions on a specific topic. They even get to bring their Nintendo DS to school to play educational games. This helps them learn to read, solve problems and share with others. <br />
<br /><br />
Teachers like Mrs. Cassidy is doing her students a great service. By using these technologies her students are getting so much more knowledge than they would using just text books. I applaud Mrs. Cassidy and hope that other teachers follow suit. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqGW3RD2RnvPX3eFepfIgOnWazj0aa8dz4EkQnzPIcpNKFNwf5kiNN2-JWqeJ_zOLtXJ1hX3r554Tcnn1H0Cn9ZU3CtAa7aIjapTfqvZ1RBqbfmW2fc1A0PvaUakc1RTdRMg5J7bsY7yVs/s640/blogger-image-1279262536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqGW3RD2RnvPX3eFepfIgOnWazj0aa8dz4EkQnzPIcpNKFNwf5kiNN2-JWqeJ_zOLtXJ1hX3r554Tcnn1H0Cn9ZU3CtAa7aIjapTfqvZ1RBqbfmW2fc1A0PvaUakc1RTdRMg5J7bsY7yVs/s640/blogger-image-1279262536.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-82302435413612057652013-03-31T17:28:00.002-05:002013-03-31T23:42:02.965-05:00Project #14 <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L3AUbaAL4zs" width="560"></iframe>

I am not really sure what the representation of the cartoon is. But it says on the left side is the papermate pencil, which is cheap and easily broken. The character is an large old nerdy guy that I think represents papermate. I may be wrong because it seems to me to be a bad representation; a large man is not easily broken. The right side of the cartoon is Ticonderoga pencil new, more expensive pencil. The cartoon character is skinner and dressed more like a young person that would be my age. Even though you can not see his pants, I would picture him with skinny jeans. I personal do not have skinny jeans but for some reason a lot of guys wear them. <br />
<br />
<b>Why Were Your Kids Playing Games</b><br />
In <a href="http://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-were-your-kids-playing-games.html"> Why Were Your Kids Playing Games </a> Mr. Spencer is being asked by the principle why he was letting his kids play games in the classroom. The principle had previously said that there would be no games in school due to a parent complaint. Mr. Spencer tried to explain that his game was an advance simulation that involved the students making a mock factory. The students had to draw, read various scenarios, and describe their solutions in text. The principle told him that he was suppose to help the students memorize for a test. Memorizing is not teaching, just temporally remembering information. Mr. Spencer was in the right by actually doing his job. <br />
<br />
<b>Avoid Social Networking</b><br />
The second post I read was <a href="http://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html"> Avoid Social Networking </a>. The post starts out by with Human Resource officer stating that teachers should not interact with students on social networking sites. One of the teachers, Ms. Jackson, spoke up against the resource officer saying, "the best way to model appropriate adult behavior is to interact with kids and be a positive role model." Another teacher was told to stop coaching a baseball team outside of school with children from school. A third teacher was told she could not acknowledge students when she saw them at a grocery store. The post is saying that teachers should have any contact with students outside of school because it may be viewed as inappropriate. <br />
<br />
I can agree to some degree with the post. We see in the news sometimes teachers having "inappropriate relations" with their students. But I do not think that all teachers should be rude and avoid their students outside of school. I believe that social networking can be beneficial for both students and teachers. A teacher could answer questions threw Facebook or blogs. Posting lessons or reviews on YouTube or a blog would be great for students and their parents. I plan on doing this in my classroom. But I can understand where people can get the idea of inappropriate teacher/student relations and teachers need to be taught not to step over the boundaries. <br />
<br />
<b>Don't Teach Your Kids This Stuff Please</b><br />
In the post Dr. Mcleod is addressing parents, teachers, and administrators telling them not to teach their students how to use technology or social media in the classroom. He warns of cyber bulling, sexting, and sexual predators that students could run into when they use it. I totally disagree with him because students must learn technology in today's society because they will most certainly fall behind. A school that did not have any kind of technology would be doing severe damage to the student's education. Dr. McLeod is right that there is cyber bulling and sexual predators online but if parents and teachers teach kids how to use it properly then they will not have a problem. <br />

Your a game designer for Rovio Entertainment and you must choose the best of 4 demo videos. <br />

In this post the teacher is displaying his findings on the experiments he did during the day. He did experiments on kinetic and gravitational energy. He asked his readers on what their thoughts on the subject was. <br />
<br />
<br />
My comment basically said on what I could remember from science class which was that the both energies depended on the mass of the object. <br />

<br />
<br />
Mr. McClung made several good points during his reflection of his fourth year of being a teacher. He mentions that he was worried about how his peers thought of his image the whole school year. That worrying the whole year could have hampered his teaching a bit and his student may have not gotten the full education they could had gotten. As a teacher you probably need to be more focused on the students rather than your peers. I love how he warns about getting to comfy as a teacher. I had several "comfy" teachers in high school and they did not teach to their full potential. As teachers we should always continue to challenge ourselves and it will reflect with our students challenging themselves. <br />

<br />
Mr. McClung's first year reflection starts by mentioning what he had noticed is that teachers were more worried about the delivery of their lesson rather than student comprehension of the subject. The second thing he learned is to be flexible. No one is perfect and your going to mess up sometimes. You don't need to beat yourself up and just move on. Letting something effect you throughout the day will probably effect how you teach your students. He finishes by saying that teachers never should stop learning. This is probably something a teacher needs to remember every day. Sir Francis Bacon said it best, "knowledge is power!" <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSef5tDQDSIGg8kIw80oahnVp6e6WCEF2PsPqgjIIG4K-dPIYsfnsHiHaOFx_PIrOC4SBTNdeM8iFFreFQ43nqn0Yk15HCxAW4ai2tS7qlZVAfpTAm9pMZ-56dp9Jkor5X9mIeJyW6f96/s640/blogger-image--1653971916.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSef5tDQDSIGg8kIw80oahnVp6e6WCEF2PsPqgjIIG4K-dPIYsfnsHiHaOFx_PIrOC4SBTNdeM8iFFreFQ43nqn0Yk15HCxAW4ai2tS7qlZVAfpTAm9pMZ-56dp9Jkor5X9mIeJyW6f96/s640/blogger-image--1653971916.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5tm_M_03aGaco4GeUcPjvx9zehueQHT5vJG-IsDz-zHK6ooa35dL3wOCBbjoDBIop1BdVT7VIvJmBXgZ6Kg1w0ggI0z_FeTCtfIt8qDRPssoO_rHtuMeC6E8cfv9DsqAvjAVbFXpui7h/s640/blogger-image--1071639425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5tm_M_03aGaco4GeUcPjvx9zehueQHT5vJG-IsDz-zHK6ooa35dL3wOCBbjoDBIop1BdVT7VIvJmBXgZ6Kg1w0ggI0z_FeTCtfIt8qDRPssoO_rHtuMeC6E8cfv9DsqAvjAVbFXpui7h/s640/blogger-image--1071639425.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-15965365843255313572013-03-22T01:24:00.001-05:002013-03-22T01:24:33.411-05:00Project #12- The Brave Monkey Pirate by Hayes Roberts<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nrwNnFq-csU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-79526233942546035382013-03-10T18:01:00.001-05:002013-03-10T18:02:36.305-05:00C4T Summaries<b>Learning is Messy</b> <br />
<br />
<br />
This blog is about understanding that learning can be messy. When teaching you have to go with the flow and try to teach students effectively. The teacher used the example of a clean kitchen. You spend time cleaning up and enjoy the satisfaction of it being clean but then it gets dirty again when you cook. It would stay clean only if no one lived there. Hernandez continues by saying learning is messy because life is messy and learning is life. There is no way around it. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-zrT2CGuRRNvghpq6Qzn6y7x8DUHLKFLLtFgfs2ld2fvV0PE8mPx56hWrE9aTrg_IKz9emvAs1rfM9R6PLPMsuxUV9WhEpoUGj06kRP0FXs4AmBlcj8EhTLaT-D_1DPOaT1cgqXJjJq-/s640/blogger-image--390148642.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-zrT2CGuRRNvghpq6Qzn6y7x8DUHLKFLLtFgfs2ld2fvV0PE8mPx56hWrE9aTrg_IKz9emvAs1rfM9R6PLPMsuxUV9WhEpoUGj06kRP0FXs4AmBlcj8EhTLaT-D_1DPOaT1cgqXJjJq-/s640/blogger-image--390148642.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-219077134281951032013-03-10T16:38:00.001-05:002013-04-07T15:52:58.821-05:00Ck4 summary marchJohn Roberts:<br />

After doing some research I began to remember him back when we did a shorter lecture on Oprah. He starts his last lecture by asking the crowd "what wisdom would you try to import to the world if you knew it was your last chance?" The first section of his lecture is about his childhood dreams. Pausch dreamed of being in the NFL but never accomplished it. But he gained experience of playing the sport and trying to achieve the dream by the technique of "head fake" or indirect learning. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the second part of his lecture Pausch tells about enabling the dreams of others. Another childhood dream of his was to become an imagineer. He achieved the dream after hard work and helped create the Aladdin ride. He figured out a way to help others achieve the same dream by creating a class film animation. This part of the lecture reminds me of chapter 5 of the book "Lighting Their Fires" by Rafe Esquith. In the chapter he discusses that people must earn their success by dedication and hard work. <br />
<br />
<br />
The third section of the lecture was called "Lessons Learned." Pausch discusses about lessons he learned from his parents. He continues to mentions other people who could help us in our lives: teachers, mentors, friends, and colleagues. In the end of the lecture we find out the whole thing is for his children. It the only way he can teach them how to live when he has passed away. <br />
<br />
<br />
My first reaction of the video is how composed Dr. Pausch is. This was his last actual lecture and he had amazing composure. I applaud his honesty and how he has accepted his fate. Many people would be at home reflecting on their life on what the could have done different but he is still helping others. On comment Pausch said that I will remember is, "brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want something." Again I remember Esquith's book and remember that if you want something bad enough you should go after it. Just because there is a wall doesn't mean there is not a way around it. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhYvy0yU5wx-8mvp7EqVxwjpD0OaXAHnamNxKVNlDvqrkxrbpQBUHPUH6FK5A5yc_Rocu6Q2Oyn-zZKFmLp7WbGGvqns1cRPzUGBGPQM6E-sCi2zHYAhNgO2VJhd8mOEbtdXW96Qhf7Arp/s640/blogger-image--286256938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhYvy0yU5wx-8mvp7EqVxwjpD0OaXAHnamNxKVNlDvqrkxrbpQBUHPUH6FK5A5yc_Rocu6Q2Oyn-zZKFmLp7WbGGvqns1cRPzUGBGPQM6E-sCi2zHYAhNgO2VJhd8mOEbtdXW96Qhf7Arp/s640/blogger-image--286256938.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEt59QJCJ9D_V7smpbHimhcADftLHgKkrmIPhP9_Mb0HpXu_1zTSbkCSKgDvZNjkNme-2jS08pLrRItlLzAP-KMw4co2Wi6TpNoycuxWYhhaUOID_pKtngrg4Wi2YQyRNTmHPneG1r7A-/s640/blogger-image--351484611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEt59QJCJ9D_V7smpbHimhcADftLHgKkrmIPhP9_Mb0HpXu_1zTSbkCSKgDvZNjkNme-2jS08pLrRItlLzAP-KMw4co2Wi6TpNoycuxWYhhaUOID_pKtngrg4Wi2YQyRNTmHPneG1r7A-/s640/blogger-image--351484611.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13948654489898267360noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991298489660047275.post-1836498985470492432013-03-02T14:06:00.000-06:002013-03-02T14:06:08.841-06:00C4K Summary for February
<b>Week 3:</b><br />
<br />
Hey Taiaha,
My name is Brody and I am a college student at the University of South Alabama in the United States. I see you enjoy rugby, I have always been interested in the sport. Where I live American football has a huge following. I understand that the two sports are similar but also VERY different. For instance, both are very physical sports but rugby players wear very little padding. Takes a tough guy to play rugby! Keep up the good work on the blog and school!<br />

<br />
I think it is pretty awesome that you can contact whoever you want to get help on a certain topic on the web. It is true that a lot of things posted on the web is inaccurate, if you double check your findings then you can get a idea if the facts are right. This could be good for the classrooms and help with student's assignments. <br />
<br />
The system needs a teacher because he/she will teach the student how to work it and take advantage of the opportunity. The teacher is also needed for guidance when a student gets stuck. One of the most important things the teacher will teach the student is how to properly communicate with others and ask for help. Hopefully the student will remember all the teaching and use it in the future.
<br />

<br />
I believe I am ready to be a networked teacher. I will be able to show students how to use the web and technology properly. I will also use ideas from this class and from other places. I am sure I will be learning new technology and different methods I can use for my teaching style. I think all future teachers my age will be ready to be a networked teacher because all the old style teachers will be weeded out and new technology advanced teachers will replace them.
