September Summary C4K 1&2

I had the privilege to comment on a student blog from Noel Elementary School.I was assigned to a student by the name of Kirsten.Kirsten seemed to be a very bright young lady. She has three sibling that are very important to her. She stated that family is something that she knows she can count on.Kirsten likes basketball and communication art.I liked the fact that she tells early that she has a weakness in math and wants to get the help first hand.I enjoyed reading the about me blog.

Kirsten, had to do a learning manifesto blog. The manifesto blog is goal that are set. Kristen sets goals that will keep her alert with learning. She says that she will get to bed at a decent hour, stay out of trouble,and be attentive. I believe that those were very good thing to keep in mind when trying to be a great student.I enjoyed commenting on Kirsten blog.I know she will keep up the good job.!

The Networked Student
The video is about using more technology for the field of Education.The students would meet in the classrooms for a regular lecture review and the rest of the assignments would be done though the internet.I would have to believe that this is a excellent idea. I think that this would prepare each student for the proper way of keeping information and interacting with others.Middle school is the starting point.Therefore when the students get to high school, they will be prepared for their computer classes.I think that networking is the source of finding what is really out there in the world.Students could find out what really interest them from other places.

We are asked why do these Networked Student need a teacher.Well I believe also that the teachers are the guidance for the students and help monitor them for the ideas that have been set. The students will gain the confidence in themselves to reach out for the unknown. Teacher are the light of information and preparation for new ideas.

I want to be a first grade teacher so I would not use this type of technology just yet.I want to be hands on with my students. Elementary students need guidance. I do not knock the idea because its new and technology is growing in many different ways.I would want to be prepare just in case to teach the networked student if I made changes in my career.I would recommend this to start in middle student age range.I watched the seven grader video on her personal network.It was amazing on all the things she could do. She learned how to be responsible with the assignments that were due.She could show the creative side all done by the internet.I enjoyed watching the video.

Blog 5 Assignment

The Lang witches Blog was awesome. The blog showed ways that children got involved with the podcast. When first introducing podcast to the parents and administrators, many may seem worry about how is it helping in the classrooms.The blog explains how this type of technology helps the students build basic literacy skills.Students are gaining skills in many ways,for example presentation skills, digital storytelling skill, and organizational skills to name a few.In the Langwitches blog podcast, there are examples of ways to use podcast for your students.Several posts are about being creative giving storytelling and also during time lines.The blog was very interesting.

I also read about the Eagle Nest Radio class blog.It was a class blog were students basically did a historical podcast.It was awesome to listen to how they were so involved.Another, podcast I watched was the Educational Podcasting Network.It was a network on where teacher discussed the podcast and other ideas.

I can admit that I did not know much about podcast or how to even start one.These examples really keep my attention in learning more about it.I can give ways to start them now and tell how they are valuable in classrooms. I would use these overview podcast in my own podcast, simply by giving an insight on how others can use them and learn from podcast.

DON'T TEACH YOUR KIDS THIS STUFF,PLEASE? Scott McLeod
My reaction to this reading leaves you thinking about the safety of all children.I feel that in this generation children will explore and learn what is not always taught.They will learn technology mostly on your their own.I feel as though a parent knows their children and blocks should be place on computers with a certain age limit. I would have to take in consideration they different types of individual online each day. When it comes to protection only so much we can do and I agree that we should try to protect children as much as we can see.Times are at a changing view now and I believe that if things can be prevented then why not continue trying.Scott McLeod is a Associate Professor of Educational Administration at Iowa State University and the Director of the UCEA for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education.

The ischool Initiative
The high school student is a thinker I would say in this power-point.He thought of ways to save money and to get parents involved with their children education.He gives a break down on how this could really work in the school.The students shows all the examples to keep the interest of the viewers.The power point is something that could become worldwide in business places.

My reaction to this video was left with thoughts of how things would work.When I saw how it was describe it lets you think of how inventions will continue to grow.I believe that this would not be so bad if teachers eased into it with the students to get them prepared for the work. Students still need time with their teacher I would have to say that much.Creativeness is a way to keep the students in involved.The ischool would also save a lot of money because everything is at your fingers.The video was a great way of something new and updated.But there is always having to have electrical power for these items books,paper and other things are always guaranteed to work.

The Lost Generation
Wow this was awesome. I love the way it started and finished with motivation.I believe that is up to us to change the world.No matter what has been said we have to believe in ourselves and be the help for others.We as the future have to not only think but also be what we have set goals to be.The lost will be found if we as individuals get the focus on a new view in life. I absolutely loved this short film.

Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir.
Wow I loved this post.When singing is apart of you as it is for me things like this leaves your mind at peace. I like the way that everyone is in a different place doing something that relaxes their spirit. It was just awesome how he could deliver this message and doing it with the greatness of computers. I will be sharing this post with others I really enjoyed watching it.

C4T Summary #1

I was assigned to read Matthew Needleman posts.My first post was about addressing comprehension errors.I really like the post because it gave ways to get students to improved their language.The post stated how you as teachers have to find ways to help students see mistakes they use by taking in a test called the error analysis.Practice is key when having a student to see their mistakes.They have to use context clues.Matthew Needleman post a few ways to help students view ways of learning errors.

My second post I read from Needleman was about effective ways to show videos in the classroom.He says that videos should not be a treat for Fridays,yet they should be at the beginning of class. Videos shouldn't be just a way to get away from books or paper but another resource for the students.The video should have meaning behind the showing of it. When showing a video students should be involved have them to look for a particular object during the film. Also teachers should always stay alert and keep the class alert as well.The information that Needleman gave will really be mindful in my career.

I was very interested in Matthew posts and will continue to look at more blogs.He really has great work to want many to visit back for the techniques that he uses.I will recommend everyone to check out his posts.

My Presentation of Life..!!

A Vision of Students Today.
When looking at my college experiences, I can relate to the video the visions of students today. The actions that are taken in the classroom many lack to look around. Some individuals pay for classes that they will never attend and complain about the workload or not understanding the assignments.The debt will be there for some that have to work full time jobs to maintain their schedules, but yet it is for a good education with possibilities of a better pay rate.In the video looking around one says that we are preparing ourselves for jobs that do not exist yet, well that is true but inventions upgrades and we must upgrade with the systems.

Time management will help each one of us in college.When we as individuals take the effort to help ourselves more will come to us.The readings that we feel are useless will help us either in the class we are taking or other classes.If we build communication skills with our professors we could learn more from them and what they have to offer.In the video, I think I would add the good things that we complain about as students and the outcomes of what we talk about. There are many ways that we can look at the positives.We as as students may have a full time job,families,or just a busy workload yet we are gaining knowledge for our careers and everyday life.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY-KELLY HINES

When coming across Kelly Hines post it really left a thinking method in my brain.I agree with Kelly when she said that it is not about technology because there is more out there to learn.The teaching system is one thing that needs to be a change in this century.We can not just keep the focus all on the technology. Yes, do need it because with great teacher a lot can happen when using the technique in different ways. Also with staying update to date with the new invention we as teachers can help our students learn.Teachers have to continue to be learners how can we teach if we aren't willing to learn.Once we learn we can show values of ways to our future students.Kelly Hines really gave helpful information with stating that.

Kelly Hines gave a list of things teachers need to recognize and can be very useful.I found her post to be an insight to all.Kelly has a new way of getting the attention of others and it is great.I will also continue to see more of the things she post.

Karl Fisch:Is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

I read Mr.Fisch post very interesting I would have to say.I do not feel as strong as he would but I do agree that we all need to be skillful with technology.We should not be illiterate.We as teacher should know the basic skill of the computer.I feel like a lot of opinions were made which is just, but all about one should be embarrassed for not knowing nothing about technology as they should is a statement there is always time to be updated.I agree that all teachers should be educated when it comes to software and the basic computer skills.

I would have to say that certain teachers have studied that field of interest so they are the ones that will help students find the resources of the computers.When students progress to upper grades I believe that teachers should know a lot more than expected, but if not I would not say they should be not proud of themselves.Technology should be in the classrooms and should teachers should know the basics skills to help students learn certain methods. I agree with Karl Fisch on a certain level about not being an illiterate teacher,yet teachers shouldn't be afraid of not knowing all there is to know.

Gary Hayes-Social Media

Interesting! The advancement continues to grow.We have to stay up tune with how the world is developing.We as teachers have to move in a pace they keeps our students eager to learn. We all have to gain more knowledge and be wise to what is and going to happen.I am excited because new things are to come and I can learn from them.

Blog 2 Mr.Winkle Wakes Click here to view video

The world is changing before the blink of an eye. Mr. Winkle is in shock as well as I am each day by the change in the world. Technology is growing so much faster than the way others can remember. It’s hard trying to keep up with the pace of how things work. When looking around new invention are developing a new mind set just like an individual. The jobs have change for as the workloads and requirements.

School is the preparations for this world change.Teachers remain focus on teaching students the basic formula for laying the foundation down for the world. The classroom is where things may change for the better of each generation. Although, change has been made it helps us all keep our eyes open to take in the new instead of the old. The movie Mr. Winkle Wake helps individual see change and notice our surroundings. I took this movie as keep the focus and keep the pace, but hold on to what remains the same.
Did you Know? Blog 2

I was left thinking after watching the movie did you know? by Karl Fisch. I learned about things that I really did not know or maybe I just did not think of it as often. The world is continuing to grow with each generation so many new inventions will be made. The children will be preparing for a new presentation in life. They will learn more than my generation has been taught and teachers will have more to look farther to in the classrooms.

The movie leaves you speechless as it moves on. I think about the jobs that will be new and improved with technology that has not even been thought of at this moment. If you only imagine how it is now, think about years from now. Children have develop faster in other places and begin wanting to know how they can became great. They put their minds at other inventions starting from a small age. Each day, moment.min, sec someone is thinking of something new to add to a cell phone, computer, and new fresh car. A device is a hand on rotations that we all have to prepare ourselves for the making. The movie is a preparation of thoughts and learning to help the world see how fast the world will and is still changing. The movie helps us all see what steps need to be made to for what will exist in the future.

Vicki Davis
Harness Your students digital Smarts was interesting.It helps students improve more on just paper and pencil assignments.It keeps students connected to the world.I like the video because its a sense teaching everyone including the teacher.The video shows that you as a teacher do not have to know it all you to can learn form your students.When learning from your students that also builds a connection with you as their teacher.The digital project makes the classroom hours go by smoothly because each one is interested.

Digital Smarts is a learning and experience that you as a student can share with others. The video shows how to get links from others that can be use in the classroom to help others. Projects can be done together over the web, that is very helpful when being confused in moments.I really enjoyed this video.It leaves students update with new technology systems.It gives ways to study and leave a comfortable trace.Digital Smarts empower students to be thinkers and to be unique.Vicki Davis shows the world how to stay connected to software and better the students learning in a different way.

Blog 2 The Importance of Creativity.

Creativity is something we all have, but when academics is the main focus sometimes students lose a passion that they love.Sir Ken is right when saying that creativity is something that we do and can be used in many ways. Inventions are based on intelligence and creativity right? When having the ideas and making them original is the key factor.Education is the way to make creativity come alive and make students stay focus on dreams as well as academics.How are you to keep a students focus without being creative.Teachers are students believer when some lack the confidence within themselves.Students ideas can be a product to help others.When showing creative ways it solves issues that many students may have inside the classroom.Alternatives are the key and ways to learning.Children succeed more when using tools with techniques.

Creativity is the way that I would take with teaching students and keeping them interested in the classroom.The students are more well rounded when they can express themselves.Education has to have a new vision as the generation grows.Students often lose or lack interest in the maths,english science,etc when its not made in a way that keeps the focused.Sir Ken kept my attention with the message because its so very true creativity gets some people far if they do not lose it. Education is the world greatest outlet to show originality if the dream is not broken.I always say keep the dreams alive and be the person that you are set out to be.Creativity will continue to show in many classrooms with the help of the vision Sir Ken delivered to the world.
