ALEX is a website from Alabama Department of Education that helps educator’s share information and has resources about their course of study. For example, teachers can log onto AlEX and get lesson plans, professional learning opportunities, podcasts, and many other educational resources for teachers. The site is easy and free to use and can be very helpful a new teacher.
Overall, I thought the site was very informational and resourceful. The site is easy to use and is very useful. For example, the lesson plans were very interesting and could come in handy in the future for any teacher. All in all, I think it’s a great resource to have.
I also reviewed the ACESS site which I thought was a great concept. Giving students the ability to learn through technology and from distance learning is really awesome. I think it’s a great way to connect all the schools in the state and have students become more interactive with technology.

Blog Post Assignment 12
Read the post “Twitter Tips: For Teachers & Educators” by David Hopkins. Think about the tips that you read and write two or more paragraphs about the post.
I thought David Hopkins tips were very informative and good for educators. The first tip he gave was to work out what you want to get out of twitter. I think this is extremely important because twitter can be used for various things. Teachers must know how to use twitter effectively and how to incorporate it into their lesson.
Another great point he made was to not share things and pass them off as your own without giving credit to the originator. I thought this was a great point too because it’s to pass things off as your own on sites like twitter without giving credit, so new users must learn how to use the retweet option. Other great tips he gave were to look at people who are following you, don’t be afraid to block unwanted people, and widen your network. The point here is to be proactive in on the site. Overall, the tips that David Hopkins gave were very good and helpful to new teachers are educators who decide to use twitter.

Progress Report on Final Project
The progress of my final project is right on schedule. Here is a summary of what me and my group member (Sherrie) plan to do. Our project will consist of a movie teaching kids how to Skype and use the internet effectively. My daughter who is 7 will participate and Sherrie’s daughter is 10 will also participate. We’re in the beginning stages of putting the project together and have brain stormed many other ideas to enhance the overall idea. So far everything is on schedule and there have not been any setbacks.
Project 6 Summary
The purpose of my questionnaire was to determine how many students attend University of South Alabama basketball and what contributes to the lack of attendance. Furthermore, I wanted to find out what the basketball program could do the improve attendance for basketball games.
Twenty four people responded to my questionnaire, 5 were male and 18 were female. 63% were juniors and mostly all were more interested in football than basketball. Second, the survey revealed that 75% of the responders had not attended a game within the last year.
Next, the responders were split on what would make them attend more basketball games in the future. Moreover, 42% agreed that schedule conflicts was a reason that they thought contributed to low attendance at basketball games. Finally, 96% believed that regardless of the attendance, the USA basketball program should not be eliminated.

Blog Post Assignment 11
I think Ms. Cassidy’s approach to technology in the classroom exactly what I imagined my classroom would be like. Ms. Cassidy stated that she is constantly using and searching for new use of technology to incorporate in her classroom. I think her use of blogs and posting the students assignments online is very effective. In the Skype interview, Ms. Cassidy stated that parents are able to see their child’s progress on their own time which is very beneficial.
In my classroom, I would use blogs the way she use them in her classroom. I would focus on numerous assignments while improving my student’s writing skills. Ms. Cassidy had a technology coordinator on board with her so she has not encountered many problems from the school district, administration, or parents. Likewise, I would seek out such a person to get on board with me so the use of technology in my classroom would go smoothly without any interruptions.
The benefits from using Ms. Cassidy’s methods in my classroom would be huge. As I watched the video of her classroom, the kids were enjoying themselves and were learning a lot. I think all students would be interested in learning by using these methods which would lead to tremendous academic success.

Summary of C4K 3-7
The first comment I made was on Mrs. Helen King classroom of 5 year olds at PT England School. There entire school held a Pirate Day celebration to celebrate all things marine. Mrs. King’s class posted a video of students celebrating the special day. In response to the video, I praised their unique idea for students to dress up in pirate costumes in effort to make learning fun by keeping students engaged and excited.
Next, I commented on Faith’s Blog, an 11 year old student. She wrote about a response to a live speech President Obama gave to the students about accomplishing dreams. She wrote that he told the students that “dreams do come true.” In response, I told Faith that one of the most important factors to that the President touched on was to organize your time correctly. I told her how I use to be a slugger when I was younger but later mastered the ability to organize my time which helped improved my grades. I told her that getting her education is essential to helping achieve her dream.
After that, I was assigned to comment to Bryant’s blog, a student in Mrs. Byrne’s 7th grade class. Bryant made a post about the miners who were rescued in Chile. He posted a summary of what happen and included links for the readings to learn more about Chile and the mining areas. I commended Bryant for posting links and his blog about the mining area to help inform the readings. Also, I expressed how the survival of all the miners was truly a miracle.
Next, I commented on Francesco’s Blog a student in Mrs. Sandler’s class. Francesco made a post celebrating the class 100th post and praised her teacher for introducing her to blogs. In response, I praised Francesco for her wonderful comments she made about her teacher and told her how ecstatic her teacher must be to know that she is enjoying learning.
Finally, I assigned to Joycelyn A’s blog in Ms. Naugle’s elementary classroom. Joycelyn made a post about a pumpkin project that her and her partner were assigned. They had to weigh the pumpkin, check to see if the pumpkin would float in water, measure the circumference, and then count the seeds. Joycelyn explained how she had fun doing the project and how messy the project was. Moreover, she was amazed that the pumpkin did not sink but floated on water when it was tested. In response, I told her I had similar projects when I was in elementary school and they taught me a lot.

Additional Assignment #3
Sir Ken Robinson presented a very good argument in his video. I think one of the most important points that he says in his presentation was about students learning and its connection to ADDH. In essence, we are drugging our children when they don’t learn the way we think they should learn. That was a very interesting point of view. I tend to agree with most of the points he made in his video but I disagree with the point of view that you can’t sell students in today’s world in order to have a great job; you must go to college and get a degree. Yes, it’s true that some students do not find a job after they obtain their degree. On the other hand, I think students who do not get the job they want after they graduate still have a better chance for economic mobility compared to the student who does not go to college at all.
To address some of the issues that Sir Ken Robinson’s video present, I think I will forward this video to all my peers and bring up the issues with every person that I come in contact with when the topic arises. Overall, I thought the presentation was very entertaining and very well made. If I had to create such a presentation, my role would be the Idea Generator. I’m not much of an artist but I’m always coming up with great ideas to support projects.

Blog Post Assignment 10
After reading Morgan Bayda post “An Open Letter to Educators”, I agree with her that North America is using a model of schooling that was created hundreds of years ago by the dominant culture thus cheating us out of our education. Because of this, I think the quality of education in America is far behind what it’s capable of being.
Much like Morgan, sometimes I feel like I am being cheated out of my education. Most curriculums in the public school systems are not student-centered. Public schools seemed to be focused only on standardized testing rather than allowing students to be creative and free to explore their education. Moreover, the curriculum is very limited and is centered on the dominant culture and its point of view. For example, almost in every public school in America, the only time the curriculum is devoted to learning about African American history is in February because it is so-called “Black History Month”. I believe African American history should be learned along with every other aspect of history during the entire school year. A well rounded education would declare history as history, it’s impossible to cram the entire history of African Americans in to one month when African Americans have contributed and help set the foundations of this country.
Next, the way the teachers are conducting and teaching their classes are affecting the education experience as well. I agree with Morgan that it’s frustrating to be in a class where you can only discuss the topics openly with your teacher rather than your classmates. In a class where blogs, open discussions, PLN, and other kinds of effective communication tools are used, it’s more rewarding for the student. I hope that most new generation of teachers will be willing to integrate technology into their lessons to help improve the education experience for the student. As a result, this would give the students the opportunity to be creative and to explore their ideas among their peers using many different forms of communicating. For example, a student may feel uncomfortable commenting on topics in class but if the teacher used blogs, that student may feel more comfortable responding online because it’s less intimidating.
All in all, I think there will always be improvements needed for education in America. I think it’s up to the individual to feed off what they are being taught and educate themselves to get a well rounded education. It’s important to know how to critically think for yourself because knowledge is power and one could never have enough of it.
I really was inspired by the video “Two Questions That Can Change Your Life.” I’ve always been a person to try to reflect on what I did yesterday and how I can improve on that. So I think asking the question “Was I better today than I was yesterday?” is something that I will continue to do to achieve my goals in life. My sentence would be “He motivated his students to achieve their highest potential and devoted his entire life inspiring others.”

Skype Interview Project 12
The purpose of this project was to practice using Skype to interview someone and practice recording the session so i can reuse it in other classes. Well i did a great job using Skype and i know how to conduct an interview. The problem i had was getting the audio correct and i think the programs suggested did not do a great job at all of doing this. I tried Screentoaster and followed the instruction but the program did not record the audio correctly and crashed numerous times. Furthermore i tried Screenjelly and Screenr and had problems as well. I know with a reliable problem, this project could have been better.

Blog Post Assignment 9
“What I’ve learned This Year” by Mr. McClung was a very informational post for beginner teachers about what to do to become an effective teacher. First Mr. McClung talked about how to read the crowd. Many teachers are concerned with how they are doing based on what their superiors think but forget that it’s all about the students. Mr. McClung reminded us that in order to be effective, we have to let the audience drive the instruction. I totally agree with this point of view because if the teacher has the students engaged, the students would be very attentive and interested which creates an environment conducive for learning. I remember the teachers I had that refuse to engage me and just stood up there and taught like they were reading from a book rather than actually teaching.
Next, he talked about how to be flexible, he made the point that we are performing in front of a crowd who tend to forget their lunch so we should be flexible if students does not do exactly as we plan. This was a great point that he made because nothing will go completely as planned and as teachers, we must be willing to accommodate some students.
After that, he stated that we should be reasonable. He wrote as teachers, we sometimes hold high expectations for our students and sometimes they do not meet those expectations. I agree with this because not every student will excel in what we expect than to do. We must not make the mistake of being too unreasonable because it could hurt the learning process.
Next, he stated that teachers should not be afraid of technology and that we should listen to our students. I agree with this as well, there are many current teachers who are afraid of technology and do not incorporate technology into their lesson plans. I believe that the new generation of teachers will not have this problem as much as the older teachers because we are more technology literate. Furthermore, listening to students is an important ingredient to becoming an effective teacher. Teachers who fail to listen to their student will lose them and will not be an effective communicator.
Finally, he stated that teachers should never stop learning. In my opinion, one could never have too much education and each class we have will be different from the other. For example, the way one class learns one year may be not work for next year’s class so it’s important to learn different ways to teach the lesson. Most importantly, we should be expanding our knowledge about our content area and other areas. All in Mr. McClung post was an excellent piece of work.

Blog Post Assignment 8
This was a very good informational video put together by Richard Miller. He made many good arguments about how we can change from a reading/writing culture to a listening/watching culture. Overall, I think I am prepared to write with multimedia and I think my students would also be prepared. I believe that children growing up in today’s culture are very technology literate and would welcome using these methods to learn.
On the other hand, I do not think we should completely do away with books are taking the focus off of learning how to hand write things. I think the book is a beautiful thing. Now we have electronic magazines, kindles, eBooks, and other devices that seem to be taking the place of the book. Personally, there is something about actually having a book in my hand and flipping the pages.
All in all, I like the ideal of writing with multimedia but I do not think it we should totally do away with books and the pen. Books have been around since the creation of human kind and it has gotten the human race to amazing places. The Bible is one of those books that I think should always be available in book format. There are electronic bibles but there is just something about just holding a bible in your hand that gives a different effect than reading it on a computer screen.
ED310 is different were very creative videos. I am not sure of what kind of videos I would like to create but I think maybe “Getting through College While Raising a Family” could be a good one. I think we all need to know to how to balance raising a family, work, and school. It can be very difficult and rewarding at the same time.
Very good comparisons in the Smartboard videos. I had a chance to see Smartboards in action at a middle school this past summer doing my observation. I was amazed at how well the 7th and 8th grade students knew how to use it. It was very useful for the teacher and students and made the lecture go very smooth. I plan to use a Smartboard in my classroom when i begin teaching.

Additional Assignment #2
1.What do you think? If learners are motivated, can they teach themselves? I agree that if learners are motivated, they can teach themselves.If a person has a desire to learn something, I believe that person would do everything in their power to teach themselves. A motivated learner is more capable than an unmotivated learner.
2.If those motivated learners are kids, can they teach themselves? Yes, kids can teach themselves and they do it every day. For example, a kid can learn a very complex video game with no help. No one teaches that kid how to play, he is simply motivated and interested, as a result, he masters it.
3.What conditions are necessary for kids to teach themselves? I think the most important condition is that the child must be interested in what is being taught.
4.What role do computers and internet access play in the process? I think computers and internet access play a huge part in the process. First, kids are interested in new technology; they are simply fascinated by computers. Furthermore, information is easy to access and different ways of presenting that information accessible which makes learning fun.
5.What role does motivation, a desire to learn? I think motivation can create a desire to learn because you simply want to know more. For example, a child may be fascinated by the internet so that child is motivated to learn about the internet. As a result, that child desires increase every day.

In other words, the teacher’s role is to make sure the student is on track. The teacher's role is not to hold the student's hand throughout the entire process.
12.What is the most important idea, question or emotional response you take away with you as a result of watching this video? Children can do amazing things if the desire to do so is there.

Progress Report On PLN
My progress on my Personal Learning Network is going pretty good. I am really enjoying making my PLN and it’s becoming very helpful. Once I finish making my PLN, I plan to introduce all my friends and my family to the site to make their own PLN. Overall, progress is going pretty good and I’m adding to it daily.
Summary of C4T #2
I had the pleasure of reading Mrs. Lee Kolbert’s blog and I commented on her post about document cameras she posted on September 26, 2010. Mrs. Kolbert explained her love for document cameras and how she uses document cameras almost every day in her classes. A document camera usually costs around $500 but she was introduced to the IPEVO document camera that only costs $69. She went on to explain the many advantages this camera has and how important document cameras are in the classroom.
I posted a commented about how I was introduced to document cameras and how having document cameras helps enhance the learning experience for students. I also pledge that I would try one of those $69 document cameras and use them a lot in my classroom as well.
