Summary one
Air Head

Scott looks at many different computers and usually gets another one every 3 to 4 years. He decided he would be happier with a Mac Air. That fit him best when it comes to what he used his computer for. He did plenty of research before he made his purchase. I can say I have not put as much thought into buying a computer before. I usually just go and get one the same day I start looking. One thing I have learned from his post though, is to not overload your drive. He found that loading iTunes on an extra was not so handy like he thought. After dealing with the problem for a few weeks he had to make some decisions. He turned his old mac pro into his main music library. I noticed that with any problem he found, he read other post about fixing the problem. by the end of this class, I hope to find myself  reading more post. When backing up his computers, he began with "drop box." This is something I have seen pop up on my computer but have not took the time to look at. After reading his post it is something I may consider. He listed a few others such as "Super Duper" that he has used to back up his computers. I honestly have never taken the time to consider backing up my computer. I also have never actually had a computer crash but I have started thinking on what I will choose now.

"Hello, my name is Brittany Smith and I am currently in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I found your post rather interesting. Although I do not own a MacBook, I still learned a good bit of information. First of all, I have bought two computers and neither one of them did I research before buying. The next time I buy a computer I will do a good deal of research before my purchase. You also mentioned the "drop box." I have seen this on my computer but have not looked into it to see what it is. I am now considering maybe downloading it and using it. I noticed you look at many post and I am new to the blogging. I hope to look more at blog post even after I finish this class. Thank you for sharing your information, I found it helpful."

Summary Two
Engaging Teachers
  This post explains his pilot he is working on. This pilot is known as Instructional Rounds in Education. He uses different teacher for this observation. This is a school improvement process. All of the volunteers have the same class to look at. They have different questions every morning and each person is assigned to something different to focus on. The results are talked about at the regular meeting that they have. Scott started small but plans to be wide next year. 

 "Once again I have enjoyed reading your post. You seem to be a very organized person. I think that this is a great idea and it keeps ideas moving. Meeting often is also something I think is a great idea. I think it is great that each volunteer has a different question. I know that when I see other students asking a different question than me, it makes me think. Most of the time it brings something different to my attention. I think that this pilot is well thought out. I can tell you are determined. You have a great process for collecting data. Thank you for sharing your information with me. I hope that this does get bigger like you hope."
