I think that this would be a great way for college students to see how teachers use technology. It is varieous videos by different teachers rather than just one teachers opinion. Ask the students to explore the videos and write a brief summary for one video. Include a link to each video. The videos are from high school students using technology. Explain what grade you are going to teach and in what way you could do this.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />

Katy, a teacher in the school says that she use to be concerned of using the iPad and how everything would go. She learned that her and the students can learn together she does not have to know everything. The children state their opinions on using the iPad. They feel it is Eco-friendly and helps with organizing. The high school that is in my town are actually using Mac computers for the same use. I feel this is a great way to learn and motivates the children. I will be teaching the first grade when I get out of school and I hope to have at least one iPad in my class room. I hope to have it in a center for the children to explore with. That is if there is not a different kind of i Pad out by then. I will download apps that are fun and help the children learn. Hope fully I can switch the ipad in each center every week. I will have appropriate apps for each center. For example, I will have books downloaded for their grade level in the reading center. In my opinion this is a great way to learn and I cannot wait to use technology in my classroom. </span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204358004577030600066250144.html?KEYWORDS=Stephanie+banchero"> My teacher is an App.</a></span></b><br />
<b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I chose to read the article by Stephanie Banchero and Stephanie Simon. In this article it explains how many states are going to virtual schools. It explained that two students reacted differently to the online classes. Noah slacked and got side tracked with his work while Allison changed her opinion entirely on the subject of history. She became interested rather than bored. It was different from watching the teacher talk. The article stated that virtual classes are increasing. Although Allison and students like Allison become interested in school, the statistics showed that students with virtual classes scored lower on standardized test. I can see how this can be true. Critics are also worried that children will not know how to work with people because of what they are use to. Students have been put in these school for different reasons such as homeschooling or the fact that parents do not like the school the child is in. The virtual school draws many different groups of children. However, state education officials states that they are not likely to be poor or with special needs. One approach they can use for children in need are hybrid school that involve students seeing the teachers face to face. They have different variations to schools being virtual. Some schools have certain amounts of time in a classroom and others let students choose their schedule. This idea has brought arguments up especially with teachers. The only thing I think I would like about virtual only schools, is that is cuts money cost. Everyone has their own opinion on this issue. As a future teacher, I think that virtually schooling has its advantages and disadvantages. I would be okay with just parts of school being virtual. I think it is important that both students and teachers get the classroom experience. This is very true when it comes to the younger grades. I feel that they need a push to get them started. I think it would be good for some students to have partial virtual classes starting around fifth grade. I also think that the students should have to maintain a certain grade in the course they are taken online in order to continue it. Although this is a good idea, it can create problems as well. I do think it is important for students to experiment with technology, however, the classroom is needed more. It is very important that children are face to face and work together. For the children in higher grades such as junior high and high school, I think that it would be great for the children to do online classes but meet at least 14 hours a week. As you get older I feel that you become more responsible and with having class part time it will help you do your work on time. I know that the main problem I have with online classes is simply forgetting to get on and do it. Sometime my problem is getting online. People feel with online classes you have more time for work and other things. </span></b>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-21225079915681644422011-11-13T23:17:00.000-06:002011-11-13T23:17:47.176-06:00c4k # 10 part one<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYQwDCLXcZTmDHQtHDagOUbWSNhyY69ZXDi4O659KegcLnr-uzriEr53I5sWSTAVuIN6ccvWmWfI6ewkKq8Sse17TWpnHteMNufHLFyfWD278x8IX4z3J9GPln5cHaxdAbb6Meg75XPc/s1600/yollis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYQwDCLXcZTmDHQtHDagOUbWSNhyY69ZXDi4O659KegcLnr-uzriEr53I5sWSTAVuIN6ccvWmWfI6ewkKq8Sse17TWpnHteMNufHLFyfWD278x8IX4z3J9GPln5cHaxdAbb6Meg75XPc/s200/yollis.jpg" title="googleimages.com" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<a href="http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/"> Mrs. Yollis' Class Blog</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mrs. Yollis has the perfect blog for her class! She has a page for people who have never met her to get to know her. After reading that tab you will know a good bit about her. The home page simply shows the normal blog page and what is going on with her classroom. She posts things the students have done. If I were a parent to a student in her classroom, I would enjoy looking at what is going on. Along with having a page to get to know her she has a tab explaining what some things are that her class likes to do. She shares just a few facts to get to know the students. She has a tab with a video telling exactly how to give the students feedback in case someone wanted too. There is a link provided so that people may go directly to the classroom website. This may also be helpful to parents. Mrs. Yollis has a tab that shows students or anyone else who wants to see, how to use certain html codes. Times zones are listed on another tab so the students can see what time zone their friends are on. A video is also on a tab just so people can know a little about California as well. Instructions on shooting digital images are also given on another tab in a video. Helpful resources on blogging for teachers are also <span style="float: none;">available</span><span style="float: none;">. Many teachers may find this useful. The homepage has links to things such as project so people can see what the students are working on. A cluster map of viewers is also given. She is a very proud teacher and shows awards for her classroom. Her blog has link </span><span style="float: none;">available with some post. I feel that links are important </span><span style="float: none;">weather</span><span style="float: none;"> it may be for more information or to give credit to something. I cannot wait to start a classroom blog. There are so many things you can do with one. </span></span>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-35899599137387833262011-11-13T22:29:00.000-06:002011-11-13T22:29:19.183-06:00Progress report on final project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxenbY2ra3dVtbY6ZcVwZv8zaeLk8Ekk0IoLx8kr2phjxZesUZlNWCxGTpngVOTalbUEZTL6hf5d-rX0GKZ9U5JiWwy9dMueDTJzG40V2OuvBtdoAYmmt5XcXPjlvFjLyNGo7Zh78YoM/s1600/symbaloo+example.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Symbaloo" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxenbY2ra3dVtbY6ZcVwZv8zaeLk8Ekk0IoLx8kr2phjxZesUZlNWCxGTpngVOTalbUEZTL6hf5d-rX0GKZ9U5JiWwy9dMueDTJzG40V2OuvBtdoAYmmt5XcXPjlvFjLyNGo7Zh78YoM/s200/symbaloo+example.jpg" title="http://hccweb2.org/bt/?page_id=310" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My opinion:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;"> The tips in this video were helpful. I think that if older teachers decided to use technology, this video would help them get a start. I think in my classroom I will always use music. I will even let them help decide on music we use. I also will create exercises for my students. I know that I will use my white board/ smart board. I think it is something the kids will enjoy. There is so much you can use on the smart board. Podcast is something I would like to do as a class project. It’s a great way to work together. A blog is something I will have the moment I am hired onto a school. I feel it is a great way to let the parents see what the children are doing. This video was useful. It gives ideas of ways to use technology and helps you form opinions of what you may or may not want to do.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">This video was about Mrs. Cassidy's first grade class. It was amazing to see everything the children were doing. They are in the first grade and that is the grade I hope to someday teach. After being in this class I have brainstormed on many things I will use involving technology in my classroom. I cannot wait to teach! The students mention "the people in Alabama," and it is nice to hear they enjoy the getting comments. They were also pleased with what they saw on the WIKI'S. The whole time watching this video I imagined what I can do in my classroom with the exact same tools. It is always great to see what </span><span style="float: none;">classroom</span><span style="float: none;"> teachers are doing with technology!</span></span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> It was very interesting to watch the video between Dr. Strange and Mrs. Cassidy. Many questions were both ask and answered. Like most of the students Dr. Strange was talking about, I use to think I did not need technology. Now I am so excited about doing the things Mrs. Cassidy has done. I am going to be a first grade teacher so this is amazing to me. I plan to have at least a class blog for the parents to look at. I also hope that like her class, my students will have their own blogs that they get on in class at least once a week. She did explain that she had a great technology coordinator to help her with everything. I hope that I can at least find a buddy in the school who does blogging as well. She taught me that it is important to find new things for students to stay interested in. I also learned the importance of protecting the students and that it can be done by things such as only using first names online. It was interesting to see the EDM310 students interact with her. I see how beneficial using things as Skype can be.</span></b>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-55379670531116637372011-11-06T18:02:00.000-06:002011-11-06T18:02:31.508-06:00c4k October<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9IFxVc6mAdcsomEauaLXr1sw_QrSHEWgCE_MeQvHnXphvNf6ef4NX3QiNvU0OqtI8NcjZGLGw5e3rpwzhAXupmTY5ll5aoIF2qvoaweXpctvovXS8zTrQwuXyViK-5Q4DNPseNxYbRk/s1600/blogging+in+the+classroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="classroom blogging" border="0" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9IFxVc6mAdcsomEauaLXr1sw_QrSHEWgCE_MeQvHnXphvNf6ef4NX3QiNvU0OqtI8NcjZGLGw5e3rpwzhAXupmTY5ll5aoIF2qvoaweXpctvovXS8zTrQwuXyViK-5Q4DNPseNxYbRk/s320/blogging+in+the+classroom.jpg" title="http://langwitches.org/blog/2010/03/06/taking-student-blogging-to-the-next-level/" width="259" /></a></div><br />

Krishant wrote about “Steve the Superhero.” This child did well with memorizing the poem. He does well describing him and puts an image in my head. The student was not at all nervous in front of the camera. The next student, Sienna, recites “Worms.” This student seemed that she enjoyed the poem. It tells of how the worms come out and how they are eaten by the birds. This student does show a bit of nervousness. It also tells of how the author even tried the worm and did not like it at all. The student uses face expressions very well in this video. Both students did a great job in reciting their poems. Possibly better than I could. I enjoyed watching them.</span><br />

He used audio to introduce the player and the team and by the time he finished talking the player was at the other end.</span><br />

I ask if she saw any advantages to maybe picking being commercial. She stated she would rather be non-commercial because she does not want something she did being changed. I stated I agreed with her because I feel if I work hard on something it is mine and perfect the way it is. If it is changed it wasn't my idea. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fJKvdjQgs&feature=youtu.be"> Do you teach or do you educate?</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">This video listed examples of ways to teach and to educate. It ask its audience what they were going to do. It listed out the ways you can just teach which included simply telling someone what to do or not to do and just listing instructions. You can "teach" anything, but can you "educate" your students? The word educator was defined as someone who gives intellectual and moral instructions. Educators are mentors and advisers. The are a guide to all students. In the video it made a good point "Education is kindling of a flame." This video makes you think. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> When I am a teacher I plan to educate rather than just teach. by doing this I will always provide great and clear instructions to my students. I will also be a great example and mentor at any given time. When a student ask me a question, even if I do not know the answer I will do my best to find the right one. When a student comes to me asking for advice if I can not give it, I will find someone who can help me. I will provide the best education for my students in the best way available.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> In this post Tom Johnson argues that pencils are a great tool and they do not lower test scores. He sees that the issue she brings to him is not accurate. He tells her of how he has shown not only the students but as well as the parents how to use the pencil. He sees that in any way these children use the pencil it is somehow a learning opportunity. He feels that just because their parents do not use pencils it does not mean that the children will never use them. </span><o:p></o:p></div>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-29051855920472464122011-10-30T20:23:00.000-05:002011-10-30T20:23:23.014-05:00c4t #3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhywQBWhe5cIY0xHCoAnEDeBqDo6pV9Ar6bfmI-uC8arYlncOyIkhKaeLUz7Piwn5mHxX-1HR-ztZyw0o_sZPJMNTtpIEg_WirK88dzTlQKTxu18TDkpqpt4ZBeGaRbs0zu2BiHj_9y5qg/s1600/vt" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="iPad application" border="0" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhywQBWhe5cIY0xHCoAnEDeBqDo6pV9Ar6bfmI-uC8arYlncOyIkhKaeLUz7Piwn5mHxX-1HR-ztZyw0o_sZPJMNTtpIEg_WirK88dzTlQKTxu18TDkpqpt4ZBeGaRbs0zu2BiHj_9y5qg/s320/vt" title="googleimages.com" width="140" /></a></div><br />
<a href="http://www.flipteaching.com/"> Summary One Ramsey's Flipteaching</a> On the Go<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #548dd4;">This was about flip teaching and why it worked for that teacher’s classroom. Ramsey says that when she merged the classroom two things made it work. Ramsey felt that good instructions helped the students and the fact that their schedule was so limited. He addressed things in class and found screencast something that worked in his classroom. He chose to have the students work with things hands on when learning before he gave out homework. The homework that he gave, he said, he felt that it helped push them. He tells anyone reading the blog thinking of flip teaching to work with their own process. Something that works in one classroom may not work in another. He wrote the blog because he found himself having a hard time six years ago with making the classroom work. He began using the iPhone app. randomly one day. This app. requires that you have a blank white screen and you made add the voice thread to it. He literally pulled over on the side of the rode to answer a student’s question. In doing this he decided that app. would be great for answering questions. He then decides he will use it for answering questions. If I had an iPhone I could see this very useful.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"></div><a href="http://www.flipteaching.com/">Fall Cue</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"> This was a slide show presentation made of 94 slides. This presentation was made of quotes that led to the next slide. There was always a slide involving the cite something came from. This highlighted how long each thing in the classroom should go. The presentation also showed what things in technology you could use to find information as well as share it. It shared many apps to the ipad you may you to record things and different apps to use. It summarizes things that can be used with flip teaching. The slide show is a great presentation and makes you want to try new things and use the things shown in the slides.</span><br />

<a href="http://attheteachersdesk.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-i-learned-this-year.html">What I Have learned this year 2008-2009</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> This post was after the first year of Mr. Joe McClung's teaching in Missouri. In his first year of teaching he learned 6 major things. Something he learned that I find to be important, is that you have to have your students attention. The classroom needs to be students centered. He states most teachers worry too much about how they will present the lecture rather than how the students will take it and what they think about it. He also says as a teacher we are to be flexible. I know that I stress over things more than I should and after reading his post I thought about how I myself am going to have to learn things will not always go as planned. Mr. Joe says he learned communication is big in teaching. That you learn more with communication. This is something I agree with the most. I always enjoy talking and see what other classmates have done and plan to do with the assignments. It never hurts to discuss things; you never know what ideas may form. Mr. Joe says that encouragement is important with students. I know that as an after school counselor, the students I help would much rather hear, let’s try it again, rather than, you will never understand what i am showing you. Something Mr. Joe learned that I myself have learned in this class is to not be afraid of technology. I do have to push myself for this class but when I look back, I have come a long way. When we have projects, I find myself jumping on the boat to find something different to do. I also constantly find myself thinking of ways I am going to use technology in my classroom. Another thing he learned is that listening is very important. Your students look up to you and by listening you show them you care. He also points out that you may be the only one that shows it. The last thing he says that he learned in that year was that you as a teacher are to never stop learning. I agree with this for different reasons. Times change and more information is brought into the world every day. This goes with things in the classroom and ways of using technology. We must stay curious as a teacher and continue to find new things to go into the classroom. many of lessons that he learned through his first year of teaching I have already learned through some of the post we were assigned to read. The most important to me is to be there for your children and listen. Also to make the classroom students centered. Both of the people commenting on his blog found the post helpful for when one day they have a classroom. I know that by reading his post my brain has even more ideas for my classroom I will one day have. </b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><a href="http://attheteachersdesk.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-i-learned-this-year_15.html"> What I learned this Year 2009-2010</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Mr. Joe made this post after the next year of teaching and included some things he learned. I really think that these post are helpful and have began thinking on something I can do like this to let people know what I learn each year. this year he was teaching Jr. High students and learned that adapting was something he had to do. he made me realize that as a teacher at some point I will be put in a position that I am not going to comfortable with. It will be my job to face whatever I am given and perform to the best of my availability. He says that he had to get out of his comfort zone but he did what he had to do to "adapt." Mr. Joe also learns that he had to try a new approach. We as teachers have to help the students learn to help themselves. In my classroom I plan to find new ways for children to learn and when they are stumped on finding an answer I hope to help them think of the answer rather than just saying "here it is." Mr. Joe also that finding a "mom" is important. Even if you do not like the term "mom" I agree with him. You may not call them your mom or dad but finding someone with experience at your school is important. I hope that in my first year of teaching I am able to find a "mom" that can help me through at least my first year. I hope that years down the road and I am experienced that someone will come to me for ideas and anything else they may need help with. One thing he learned that I find very true is to watch your ego. He states that you can not be afraid to act silly that it can help the students. I do agree with that. With the classes I am taking now, we are required to teach lesson plans. This mainly pertains to the p.e. class. In order to do this we must be comfortable with acting like a child to show them how to do something. It may even involve something "goofy." Learning not to be a control freak is something Mr. Joe finds important. Letting students help whenever and as much as possible is always a plus. I have noticed by observing in a first grade classroom students love to help. One thing he learned that I have also recently been taught was that you need to plan how long you spend on what subject and how much of it you teach. You should never teach only on what you think is interesting. Another thing that he found out was that no matter what you face with your co-workers that the students are what matters. I feel this is correct. I know that when I become a teacher I will have people that I do not relate to or "bump heads" with. I will now keep in my head thanks to Mr. Joe that the kids are what matters more. I have enjoyed reading these two years of experience he had. I see it is important to always be open to advice. The comment that was left also felt the same as I do. She found this blog to be helpful as well. </b></span>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-26074922528238540712011-10-22T14:51:00.000-05:002011-10-22T14:51:31.937-05:00SMART Board Instruction Part 1 Project #13<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kyOMdXfs99A" width="560"></iframe>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-8516981541065995572011-10-17T09:57:00.002-05:002011-10-17T09:57:40.697-05:00Project #12<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6qtFt3_2g4I" width="560"></iframe>Brittany Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12530737452916268862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215183502495039667.post-10939563497582157852011-10-16T21:43:00.003-05:002011-10-23T09:41:04.647-05:00Blog post #8<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7xuiOq1T2YgbjTqrS-3WsC0m2v2XCBRbJXW0Og7SpdNw8qVrq6sjV4iCmVEGxeieL2m5Ck6AYtyziXYafYkns9aD_EyL9XwvQpICYwxYgsKU5vo1vMoLEHTFBPtHwOYqRmXxUEFC9ww/s1600/multimedia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The World and Technology" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7xuiOq1T2YgbjTqrS-3WsC0m2v2XCBRbJXW0Og7SpdNw8qVrq6sjV4iCmVEGxeieL2m5Ck6AYtyziXYafYkns9aD_EyL9XwvQpICYwxYgsKU5vo1vMoLEHTFBPtHwOYqRmXxUEFC9ww/s320/multimedia.jpg" title="googleimages.com"" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://techliterateteacher.blogspot.com/2009/07/dr-richard-e-miller-discusses-writing.html">Richard Miller</a></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Part one: <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This video goes over how books and information are now not only on paper, but online as well. Miller states that he was raised on books and dreamed of his job involving books. He shows many different types of information can be found online. He states how he was able to do a project all online. I personally do think that it is great that the texts we can find online are great. Many things in paper or any documents can be damaged. With it being online you are able to access it from anywhere. Many things are now found on both. This is great for people who lose things. Time has changed and now even with typing something a video may be added to the document. He gives many examples to walk through the changes. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Part two:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Miller shows in this video how we may bring documents and conversations recorded into one "movie." He shows the things technology has available such as "iMovie" to make this possible. Collaborating things such as pictures and conversation can be a way to show better examples and keep the audience interested. Miller shows how YouTube is such a broad way to "get something out there." He states that within a few days a lecture they posted had over 9000 views! He says something that I found very true. He stated that videos posted on YouTube, pushes ideas. Until he stated that I had never realized how true that is. Millions of people watch YouTube. Many videos are posted from several different categories and it is a great way to get things out there. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Am I ready? <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> As technology has changed, the way of learning has changed and will continue to change. When I first started EDM310, I was intimidated from the fact of having to use so much technology. The further we get into the term, I slowly change my mind more and more. So much can be done on the computer and online. Using multimedia in my opinion is a great way to learn. I believe by the time I become a teacher this will be even more common. My students will most likely learn from things like the things in the videos. Although they will be first graders and may not be making documents online, I do plan on using things such as videos and documents on the web in my classroom.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<a href="http://pughcarlyedm310.blogspot.com/2011/04/blog-post-12.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Carly Pugh's Blog post</span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This has been the most inspiring assignment I have had yet! I enjoyed reading what her assignment was and it really was something I could see Dr. Strange assigning. The video was very inspiring to me and it made me think about the work I have done this semester. Her video relates to Millers hopes in many ways. She used pictures of different things related to her questions to get her point across. The video was defiantly touching and made me think of how I look at life. This had a message with it and like Miller wanted, with the multimedia she presented, it made me ask myself... How do I view life? </span><br />

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.</span></span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"</span></span></span>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."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"> 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. </span></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> "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."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
