Assignments due 25 April 2010
The video presentations for this weeks assignment were great; not just in words but in substance. To think that a 7th grade class has the independence of logging on to class assignments and working independently on assignments give us a glimpse of the future of education. This video reiterate the need for teachers to be technological literate, because students are utilizing most of these tools at home. For example, this 7th grade class is responsible for updating the data in their Personal Learning Environment (PLE), researching and storing data collected in their PLE.
The 2nd video causes you to pause and consider what your sentence in life is or will be. I plan to save this video for future use; I think this video will keep one grounded, focus, and on task. The video also support continued learning for teachers, a willingness to explore different teaching techniques to be an effective teacher. What is my sentence in life? Am I willing to dedicate myself to educating my students? Am I willing to endure the hardship that come with be dedicated? These question causes you to give an honest reflection of your intention.

Good day to all, this weeks class assignment is in the form of a survey. I would like your opinion on three questions I think are essential for the advancement of education in today's technological age.
1. Will you utilize technological tools to teach in your classroom?
2. Have EDM310 prepared you to utilize these tools?
3. What would you change about our EDM310 class? If anything
Thank you for your participation in the survey; the data gathered will highlight the need to improve certain area of the class. Also, it will identify the type of teacher you are planning to be.

My name is Lamar J. King, I am a student at the University of South Alabama in Dr. Strange edm310 class. I watch your class video; great work. The hidden message I gathered from the video is to always attempt to improve your position. The early settlers continued with what appears to be the status quo but the invader appeared with weapons. Like the tradition teacher lecturing and not using the technological tools available.

Ms. Shelly Terrell did a great job collecting data for her Teacher Reboot Camp. The information posted on Ms. Terrell's blog can help teacher become more effective in the classroom and engage all student's in hands-on learning. For example, Ozge Karaoglu and Terrell developed a wiki to help educators integrate technology effective for young learners.

Assignments due 11 April 2010
Dr. Suess - The Zax
This was a great video with a very important message. The tale of two Zax's fit the mentality of many of today's teachers. The video depict teachers who are unwilling to change their teaching technique to address the ever changing needs of our students. Teacher's who fail to capture the creative talents of their students are doing the students a disservice. For example, at home students are utilizing different Internet tools, iPhone, ipods, and other gadgets but when they return to school a sit through lectures. To be an effective teacher, we must utilize every component available to give our students the best possible chance to be successful.
PS22 CHORUS "Landslide"
Great piece of work, out of the mouth of babe. The chorus is depicted in this video as pleading with adults (teacher's) to not hold them down. Allowing the students to blog can open a door for the students that have been closed to them for years. An effective teacher want to cultivate their students mind oppose to closing the opportunities. The students exhibited a tremendous amount of passion as they song from their heart the effect holding them back can have on their life. For example, "I've been afraid of changes, I built my life around you, and children get older too". The verse "I've climb a mountain and turn around"; implies that the students make marked progress then back to the traditional theme.
Comments4Kids Week #13
I really enjoyed the video "Manners Please" by this 4th grade class. To think students are being taught good manners in a classroom setting is great. A student who exhibit good manners normally is well thought of by the teachers and respected by other students. For example, wait your turn, excuse me, please, and thank you are ways to build character.

Assignments due 4 April 2010
Mr. Chamberlain - Dear Kaia
I found the post on Mr. C's class very interesting; in that they represent a time that is emerging as the leading method of educating. I appreciate Mr. C's willingness to pursuit innovative ways to educate his students. I plan to utilized some of his teaching method; because you are only effective if your students learn and retain the subject matter.
As for the data in Mr. C's piece; I appreciate Kaia's father calling and talking to the students in the class. The idea to create a voice thread for Kaia was igneous; the voice thread will allow Kaia to listen to Mr. C's class. Each student appeared to have participated in the voice thread by say a few words. I think this is a great tool to use in the classroom, increasing the students knowledge of technology. I also think an activity like this really captures the students attention and make learning fun. Kaia's 1st photo essay and the lesson by her father gives her a sense of responsibility. The fact that one can find good in even the worst of things can prove to be a life saving lesson. The father's reading of "Last Child in the Woods" compel him to introduce Kaia to a side of nature that will impact her life forever.
