Summary C4T #4

I enjoyed my teachers Blog.My first comment was on Wm Chamberlain post.The post talked about how flat Stanley was received in the mail.Stanley has been used for many years for students.It was something new to me.I got the understanding that you can get information very easy when using this project.It is a great project to use in the classroom.I would like to learn more of this tool.Flat Stanley is a handy tool that you can see what others have learn and see new ideas.Great post. It is always great to get new ideas for the future.

Secondly, I comment on the same teacher and this time the blog talked about Netflix.The teacher tells that the library did not have the documentary that needed to to be shown in the class for the students.It is recommend to try Netflix for the classroom room when other items are not provided .I think its good to just try something different.Plus its only nine dollars.I think it would be good to try out.

November and December C4K

I have the privilege to comment on Mrs.Yollis 3rd Grade Class.They did a number of things that were very helpful.They are from California.Some things I saw on the blog were projects they had done and also posters telling others to always stay drug free.I commented on the Hello Song.The students learned it from another teacher that was from Connecticut. There were dance movements and each students had a new way to say hello.They said them in another language.How cool is that? I enjoyed the song.It was awesome to see the smiles and learn as well.

Project 15

Additional Assignment #5

We were assigned to read four post by Mr.Spencer .What I got from the first post Teach them to solve for X was basically do what need to be done so that students can learned it.We as teachers do not have to over do something for the students to comprehend.Simply teach it and apply it for knowledge. Sketch Portraits was to me about building relationships with your students.It should be a requirement on your hand to get involved with that student.I believe making sure you understand that student can be helpful in many ways.Communication is a  major thing that needs to be in classrooms.As educators we can not forget that.Build a relationship it makes a difference.He just likes the class for the pencil was more compassion for those that need it.The post was a trust factor that was put in place.The medium shapes the learning very good post and helpful.I think that all these post are great yet you have to make sure you read carefully or you could miss some point.Great work..!!

           

Blog 13

   Alabama Learning Exchange is something I haven't heard about but it is very useful for education.It is a website that is great for all teachers and students.It has tools that are educational and resourceful to all administrators.It starts at the level for kindergarten all the way to 12th graders.The site has course of study as a  feature that you can  access information by grade levels or keywords.Individuals can browse for all Alabama content   Standards.When clicking on the subjects you can see the objectives as well as lessons plans others have created.It has the grade levels on the columns as well.Another thing available on this site is lesson plans broken down by subjects.There are web-links resources that are handy for teachers, administration,and students.All of this is at your finger tips by just one click.The thing I liked was it has a professional learning feature that shows new updates for news,learning and more practice.It has a feature for special education talking about the guidelines and IDE.When looking for educational tools this is a great site to use.It can give a new foundation for the classroom.It has something for everyone.I think you can learn a lot.

Access Distance Learning    
ACCESS- Alabama Connecting Classrooms,Educators,and Student Statewide
The site helps individual view the long distance learning.It allows students to gain information from others that can teach what is not given at their schools.Students get to be introduced to others from new backgrounds and new areas.Access offers many classes for students to be able to get ahead as well as for them to be able to graduate. The website offers many opportunities for high school students.The vision is that all are provided equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning.I think all students should check out this site here is the link.http://accessdl.state.al.us/.

Teach Me Lesson PROJECT 14

Blog Assignment #12

I think a good Blog Post Assignment would be  for students to list goals they want to reach before the end of the semester .Another Post that could go with this one is what motivates you to reach your goals and who inspires you when you fell like letting go.I think its good for students or viewers to see a little inside of the blogger feelings.

My answers would be as it follows: To Graduate from College,Enter the Education Field,Work hard for a stable foundation for my future family,and keep positive.

I motivate myself to keep going when life struggles seems to be over burrowing.I always remember to keep my head high and I know who sits High  above this world. All the things I ask and pray for will be added upon my life with faith in my heart.Thats motivation to me.My mother and family are my support systems and they inspire me when I feel like giving in.I think motivation is the pusher for goals.So keep pushing and keep striving for your destiny.

Summary Post Teacher # 3

I was assigned to a teacher from North Island,New Zealand.The name of my teacher was Dragonsinger.She gives information that she is a mother,blogger,and even musician.How about she says she is a computer geek.Dragonsinger tells about the secret passion she has and its teaching is not about feeding information into students brains, yet its creating a place for them to be inspired and being excited about discovery.I totally agree that feeding students somethings hender them from learning in another way.Dragonsinger goal for her students is to leave an impact for them to learn more and to want see what is out there in the world.I explored more with Dragonsinger blog and she does this blog post as a practice of what has worked in the classroom and what has not worked.She wanted to share the information with us and others in her PLN.
Dragonsinger blog is called learning,unlearning,and relearning.She goes on conferences and post links for others to watch .The videos that are post are ways that viewers can see ways to helps students.We have to develop change for them. Dragonsinger also gave a break down of how a normal conference goes for her on a daily basis. I looked at the summary she left and it seem very helpful also fun.She went to the tenth ulearn conference.The conference are a base of new sources and keynotes.I enjoyed her blog a lot of helpful information to use.

Blog 11

Ms.Cassidy approach with technology is awesome.Ms.Cassidy is a first grade teacher in Canada.In the classroom of Ms.Cassidy, she has her students blogging,writing people in other places,and even finding educational games.I love the fact that she did this in video form.I saw how the students came to class getting involved.They were excited to learn and even teach the audience how to do blogs or whatever task they were performing.I would think I would use the blogs in my classroom as a future teacher.The students can work on ways to improve skills as well as the parents keeping up with how the child is doing.I would also use Skype for the students to see who they are learning about and for them to build communication skills with others. Its so much that I would use so that my students will be updated with the change of the world far as technology goes. The impediments that anyone would encounter is the connection or maybe popups sites.Another thing that can happen is the computer could   freeze because of the downloads.Things like that happen.So when they do we use the next best thing and thats our  creative skills.I would use ways that I could still keep the students attention.Students can work on a project or even things that are preparing them for an upcoming video until the sources are handled.The key is to always keep students protected and tell them the ways that computers work at times of difficulty.I enjoyed this blog and Ms.Cassidy she gave many ways that can keep students imagination going on and on for a long time.Check out the video sometime.
