Collaboration Report
For the last two projects in EDM 310, I was in a group April Crum
, Brooke Ladnier, and Jeanette Kelly. They were so great to work with! Trying to find times to meet was the biggest obstacle we had, but we overcame that, easily. We met face-to-face and we also skyped with one another for the second project. Skype was the most convenient tool because we were able to do it from home. We played around with the Google chat, but Skype was our preferred communication tool. We didn’t think to take a screen shot or video of our virtual meetings because we were too focused on deciding how we were going to do our projects. That would’ve come in handy for this post! Nonetheless, we wouldn’t have been able to complete our final projects without the use of skype.

I've been all over world before because I once was in the Navy so I've traveled Quite a few places. Italy,England,Dubai,and Kuwait! I lived in Washington D.C for two years and I was apart of the Ceremonial Guard as a casket bearer. I've done hundreds of funerals in the famous Arlington National Cemetary. Did quite a few ceremonies at the Pentagon and even the White House. Had a chance to meet then president George Bush Jr. After that I was stationed in Jacksonville, Fla for a few years. Once I finished my service time me and my family moved to Birmingham, Al and begin working for a company called Sysco. Lived there for another three years before returning to the coast and moving back home.
When I got back here I began going to college at Mgccc and earned my associates in Applied Science and also Electrical Technology. I graduated from there and enrolled at USA last semester and been enjoying my senior college experience. I'm a Physcial Education major because I love coaching kids and mainly football. I coach a 11yr old football from the Moss Point but we played in Mobile city league and made history. We the first team to ever come in the league for the first time and win the Youth Bowl.

r.Winkle Wakes
Mr. Winkle Wakes is a video that shows how technology has helped upgrade our society and that t,he education profession has not changed too much and that can be due to several reasons.The lack of knowing technology but people need to know the simple learning skills of all technolgy and understanding how technology works all over the world. Technology helps make managing your bank account easy. Students need to know how it works and why a computer can do pretty much anything. Students should acquire this ability before trying to interact with a computer.
I believe many theories as to why they would not want to change. Probably the educators do not feel really comfortable instructing with tools they dont really know about. There may be some educators who feel, like why change it if it works?? I think these questions about technology should be checked out. I think that students who enjoy and live for a technological world will also stride and enjoy a technological school history. Mr. Winkle has to be a serious eye for educators as a warning sign to not let the technology miss being apart of the schools. It would be crucial to society to let the world keep going forward while the schools are left behind in the dust.
Did You Know? 3.0- A John Strange 2002 Version
Originally this video was by Karl Fisch and Scott McCleod. Did you know ? 3.0- A John Strange 2012 version is saying the world is changing. and the U.S. is behind all the countries in education. It's interesting that china has more than 75%honor students compared to the U.S. Less than 25%. But in my opinion, for China to be the number one English speaking country in the world, is very disrespectful the United States citizens. And it shows our lack of education here in America. This should motivate everyone to want to be and educator. The video clearly suggests is that as an educator, you must be willing to embrace change and the world of technology around us.
Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity
In this video Ken Robinson compares creativity to literacy and how it's important. He said that “You have to be prepared to be wrong, or you will never be original”. As a nation we are so focused on doing what we percieve is right and sometimes afraid of making mistakes. As people we are losing creativity, which is not even close to being a fact. I believe this is one of the most creative nations in the world. Everybody working as an educator, should come up with more ways to succeed in this to teach our students and should make the sacfries necessary to contribute to the learning experience. Math,Language,Art and Music should always be the main ones at the top of the creative list. Students learn and pay attention to being interactive and movement also can help.
A Vision for the 21st Century Learning by TEDS
I believe that the students are already learning a lot thru technology. In America kids are very computer literate,because of the day and age we are at with computers and cell phones, it enhances their learning ability and tools the kids use. Students enjoy participating and not just reading trying to memorize from books. At the end of the day, I agree with teaching students of the future through technology.
Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students’ Digital Smarts
.
Believing that every child should be taught in a comfortable environment. Ms. Davis understands that kids are able to teach her and classmates new lessons. She incorporates the software, Wiki, and class blogs into all their learning assignments. I firmly believe new words is a good tool to incorporate into the lecture. The class instantly goes to Google the words to find out what exactly she's trying to speak on. Mrs. Davis’ direct teaching methods are probably about the best I've witnessed because she allows the students a wide variety of learning tools and creative things not just at school but in their daily lives. The fact that her students have different projects they present,the students to get a chance to share a lot with one another and are relatively close.

Stephanie Tyler's Video
I found this to be a very interesting video.The special kids seem like they are really enjoying Ms. Tyler class and the way she helps them learn. You can clearly see this an outlet for kids with special needs to be able to complete their assignments like the rest of kids and have fun as well. The computer serves us all great purpose and can assist in all aspects of life.
We can use those methods Ms.Tyler has used in edm310 as well because some of us aren't as computer literate as others. I must say it takes me a while to understand alot of the assignments we have but I'm learning different ways to understand and somehow I manage. I believe I should look into that website that helps you zoom in on your words because I have trouble reading small print also. But overall its a very informative video and I'm glad to see that the kids are able to learn at the same pace as everyone else.
Apple Apps for kids
I would use the math board app in the classroom because its probably the hardest subject for kids to learn and for adults also. It breaks down the math problems and give you ways to have each child involved and also making it very fun. This app is very interesting and can help in numerous ways in the classroom.
Kids will be able to work on these assignments at home and in the classroom and learn alot from them using their ipads. The math board app gives you different quizzes and learning objectives to learn all kinds of math.Wonderful learning tool when using the ipad in the classroom and at home. The students can be creative as well as have fun while doing the work.
Social Media Changes
Wow this site is an eye opener for everyone. I think about when I was a kid or even in high school that technology didn't mean that much to me or my peers. In today's society we have come a long way and nowadays we cant even walk out the door without our phones, ipod, ipad or laptops.
I believe its a great think because we can always communicate with each other and also with school. We can do everything from social sites and our phones. I love the way technology has grown, and I'm looking forward to what may take place in the future world of all this technology. Facebook, twitter and a million other sites have grown to be our life and we have gotten to attach to all of new age ways of the world.
A Vision of Students Today
Very informative video i watched. I totally agree with this. As a future educator I don't like the way our kids are being taught especially on a college level.We have all spent lots of money on class and those books we never even open. It seems like every year its more and more of a rip off. I have maybe two instructors this semester who actually knows my name.
Its really like we teaching ourselves, there's no hands on anymore. Students need the time and attention so we can all be able to teach and do our jobs when we become future educators. Technology has taken control and we have no use for books in a classroom. Classes are too large to be just sitting in there going over power point videos. We spend more time trying to find answers to our study guide then actually learning the information we obtained in class. Lets get back to basics where each student is involved. It seems money is more the objective then learning.

Don't teach your kids this stuff
I really enjoyed this blog, Mr.Mcleod just exposed technology as a whole and what our kids are learning on a day to day basis. Computers,cell phones, Internet, tv all contribute to our kids being brainwashed and exposed. We have consumed ourselves so much with technology we fail to see what's actually going on.
I can only imagine what high tech things my kids will have going on in the future. I have a 10yr old son he already been sneaking and watching porn on his PS3. I had to turn up the parental controls so he won't be able to see it. Kids have too much access to porn sites and other mature things kids shouldn't be able to see.

I SCHOOL
I'm totally against kids being taught virtual not by interaction or hands on. Students that's in college such as myself have a hard enough time doing computer based or online classes. Because it seems like your teaching yourself and you really can't get the feel for the work or classroom this way. There should be a stopping point when it comes to all this technology and this isn't it.
Kids have a right to be taught by an teacher not by a computer,this makes our jobs as educators unnecessary because it shrinks the teaching field even more then it already is. We have to give our full attention to our future students and educators. I love a lot of things you can do with computers from home but not the whole class. We still need pens,pencils and paper in my opinion. Hands on is the best teaching tool we have let's not lose that in today's schools.
Teaching in the 21st Century
I don't even believe there will be a place for us future educators in our world that we are heading towards. All the jobs willbe computer operated and there will be less need for teachers. I hope the I world doesn't take over until I'm done teaching. It's a very scary concept and idea.
Kids can now sit home in front of there pc's and iPads, cell phones and etc. to do all their class assignments without pen and paper there will be no need for so many teachers. It's hard enough for us to even get classes as well as jobs.

Class Blog #6
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.” The quote says it all. You get experience in every thing you do. If your doing something you want you still get experience, it just doesn’t feel like it. If it something you didn’t want, you still learn from it. Nothing is a waste of your time if you look at it from an educational perspective.
Dr.Pausch is a very strong and inspirational man, his strength and will after watching the video inspires me to keep pushing even more. His quote "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand". I feel that is a line that will stick with me forever. For a man to be dying from cancer you would never tell because his determination and drive gives me hope that no matter what we are going through in our lives there's always somebody who has it a lot worse. We all have a purpose in life and it's a must that we figure out our place and make the best of any situation.
Life comes at you fast. Dr.Pausch quote "I probably got more from that dream and not accomplishing it than I got from any of the ones that I did accomplish". He's basically was telling us as individuals to live your life and fulfill your dreams at all cost. He's accomplish so much and since he was a kid he set out a plan and even tho the plan different go as planned he found a way to conquer everything he wanted to do. It's a blessing to be here and to have good health and to be able to do things we wanna do.
So I will push harder and never let anyone discourage me about what I can and can't do in this world. Thanks Dr.Pausch your gone but not forgotten and has made a great impression on me and life. As he said "experience is what u get when you didn't get what you wanted". And I love this one also "When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care".

Reading this Blog, I have learned that in order to internalize a new vocabulary word, you have to hear it at least 70 or more times. I know understand that when learning language, it is important attach feeling to a word in order to make meaning of how it will be used. It is also important to give language learners the ability to practice using the words, and get comfortable hearing the words come out of their mouth.
I now understand that recording a podcast is a great tool for language learners. I enjoy watching podcast videos because it gives you a sense of teaching you what you need to do based off the video. Students learn easier when they can see a visual as to what's going on.
Students all over the world are using these tools to be successful in class and in other areas by using the podcasts technology. As a future educator I'm glad we have these videos to help us learn how to do a skill or even just learning something different.

C4K Summary February
I had my C4K assignment on Ashley she did her blog assignments on Titanic. I enjoy following and reading her work. Especially skyping from New Orleans because that's my home town. She also had a posts on a musical she watched and enjoyed. Ashley has very interesting posts and gave me a great history on the real story of the titanic.

Watching this video is a big concern for me! I don't agree with our future kids basically being taught only from computers, we as educators have an obligation to teach students in a classroom setting so they will be able to learn more and grasps the concepts of the new technology and doing everything online.
But it's a great way to enhance ones computer skills and learning of different things with technology. I find it interesting to be connect with the world by your fingertips. Kids can interact with students from across the states and even the world. I still feel we should keep the traditional way of learning in the classroom because it's hard to teach yourself things without help.
Only reason students need a teacher is to be able to learn the skills and tasks assigned to the students. But as this technology grows and we go away from the classroom settings there will be less of an opportunity for educators to get jobs because there will be no need to pay them to do a job that has hardly no significance for classroom.

This Is How We Dream was a remarkable production by Dr. Richard E. Miller of Rutgers University. Dr. Miller mentioned alot of important advances that technology has made over time and how the world will benefit from these technological advances. Dr. Miller's presentation revolved around the impact that technology had on the world for the most part, and he mentioned specifically on how technology has transformed the way that people learn writing. Before the television was invented info would take several weeks to travel across the world, but now with one click of a button you can connect the world, During the radical protests of the 1960’s people would chant the phrase “the whole world is watching”, and like no other time in history the whole world was watching. Because of this new technology the world had to base its political ideology on what had been seen through the television.
The Presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were the first to ever be televised, and it was altered the way that people would view an American president. Technology changed the way people viewed their politicians, and technology became the most influential way that swayed people opinion. People look back at the beneifits that technology has made over the years and wonder how they could ever do without technology such as: the television, the radio, and the cell phone. Just like the invention of the television we are now experiencing an even greater aspect of technology during this age, computers, cell phones, ipods and ipads, technology is at an all time high and continuously growing and of this technological advancement was the main goal of Dr. Miller's presentation.
Dr. Miller focused his presentation around the vast amount of information that people have access to. Through modern technology we have access to the riches of the world, and with such access who are we to hold information to ourselves? Technology has provieded many benefits for the society that we live in, but the greatest benefit that Dr. Miller brought out was the ability for the world to unite and share information. The art of writing has been around throughout the history of the world, but only resontly has the written language evolved to a universally accessable form of media. Another important aspect of technology that Dr. Miller brought out was the collabrative tools which are so easily accessed and used from the internet. By utilizing collaborative tools such as Facetime, Skype, Google documents, and many others people are able to come together, regardless of geographical distance, and work on a document at the same time.

Carly did a great job with blog post #12. I really enjoyed her suggestions of the Youtube playlist, and I see how creating a playlist could benefit me as a future educator. Carly's writing styles I believe was the same caliber with Dr. Miller's presentation about writing with multi-media. Carly's blog post was in great depth, and her blog post was the perfect example of how we as future educators should write our work. I'm a student who often writes blog posts in EDM 310 are what I would call "satisfactory work", but we as future educators shouldn't do any satisfactory work we should aspire to go above and beyond! Carly's post was above the normal and great efficient use of technology, and I salute her for the excellent blog posts!
The Chipper Series & EDM 310 for dummies
The first video that I was assigned to watch was The Chipper Series. This video was about a girl named Chipper who disliked how Dr. Strange ran his class. Chipper went through many stages in the video such as: complaining, dropping out of school, starting a school, she was hired at a school, she tried to become a nanny, she became a garbage collector, and finally she returned to school. This video illustrated the importance of submitting assignments on time.
The Presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were the first to ever be televised, and it was altered the way that people would view an American president. Technology changed the way people viewed their politicians, and technology became the most influential way that swayed people opinion. People look back at the beneifits that technology has made over the years and wonder how they could ever do without technology such as: the television, the radio, and the cell phone. Just like the invention of the television we are now experiencing an even greater aspect of technology during this age, computers, cell phones, ipods and ipads, technology is at an all time high and continuously growing and of this technological advancement was the main goal of Dr. Miller's presentation.
Dr. Miller focused his presentation around the vast amount of information that people have access to. Through modern technology we have access to the riches of the world, and with such access who are we to hold information to ourselves?

C4T#3 Summary
I left comments under Jenny Luca is teacher. She had a interesting blog post about her daily routine and what she plans to incorporate in her life as far as her kids and how she does things. There was a interesting video on her page from a guy name Rives, he basically did a comedy skit on what the world would be like if he owned the internet. Very funny for the most part and also he had some interesting points. I enjoyed following this teacher posts.
