Final Post

1.Things We Learned
a.Blogs: We learned a lot about blogs heck we had to post on our own blog every week. I think this could be usefull if used in the right way I felt that sometimes in this class the blogs seemed a little like busy work but it wasn't as bad as I first thought it would be. Blogs are a good way to let your students work be seen by the whole world.
b. Google Docs: This will be very usefull in the classroom esspecially if you are working in a school that is in a low income area you could use this so everyone is able to the same projects.
c. Podcasts : like them some can be very boring
d. Youtube: love it can be very educational if used right and can also be very addicting I know it is for me
e. Comments4Classmates: I also like this one this lets the students hear some feedback from their peers
f. Comments4kids: It was pretty neat to see what students around the world are doing
g. Itunes: this was one I was used to using but had no idea of the educational oppratunities on there all the podcast and videocast on there it was amazing
h. ItunesU: I didn't know this even existed but I did like it
i. Tmetoast Timelines: I loved these this site was very usefull I love history and think as a history teacher you could use this site on many projects and its free.
j.Google Earth: this would be very usefull in getting to know your students and where they have lived or where they have traveled
k.Delicious: didn't use it
l. ACCESS: This site has a ton of usefull things on it for teachers
m. ALEX: Another site with a ton of lesson plans for teachers
n. Technilogicall literacy: are you a technilogically literate teacher?

2. No I cant think of anything else i wouold have liked to learn that we didn't
3. No not really some things I didn't use Delecious but it was because of preference but it could be usefull
4. Timetoast Timeline actually did excite me I loved it. It was so interesting and easy to use.
5. I think the most intellectually challenging thing we did was the Podcast where I had to debate the uses of Wikipedia and how you could use it as a source just not a main source.
6. All the Blog post but it wasn't that bad just teddious.
7. I don't know if I would change anything hell if I can do it anyone can
8.I feel that after this class I am now a Technologically Literate teacher. When I cam into this class i would say I was somewhat literate now I believe that I am good to very good which is awesome.
9. I will keep using google docs and timetoast timeline and I might even blog a little I will also continue to expand my PLN.

Interview

I interviewed my friend Elizabeth Pullen who is a special education teacher at turner elemntary school on lot rd. I asked her how she uses technology in the classroom. She told me that she did use it but not as much as a general ed class would she uses a PEC system witch she created on her computer it is a system of pictures that describe actions that the children want to do it was really neat how they could use this to communicate.

Skype

I used Skype to talk to my friend that is in the marines and stationed in San Diago it works out good i can talk to him and his family I got to see his new baby girl about a month ago it was awesome

PS 22 Video and Dr. Suess - The Zax

The Zax is a very good example of how some people are so uneager to change that they would rather let the world pass them by than change. As educators we cannot let that hapen to us we must be willing to change in the way we use technology in our teaching.

I think that it is important for students to post their work to blogs and in other ways because it opens up doors and presents opportunities that might otherwise not come to them. A great exapmle of this is how the elementary school students of the PS22 Chorus brought Stevie Nicks to tears as she watched a video of them singing a version of her song "Landslide." She invited the chorus to sing at Madison Square Garden for the Fleetwood Mac Show. If the students had not posted their song on the internet, they never would have been given such a great opportunity.

An Open Letter To Educators

The post was very good I enjoyed it and the video was great. Morgan Bayda is on point when she talks about sitting in a lecture hall and having a professor lecture for hours its hard enough to stay awake. How am I supposed to retain the information that the professor wants me to know. I think that in the world we live in and all the technology that is around us and readily available we as educators have to take advantage of that and not teach the same way that our great grandparents were taught when they were in school. We have to change the system not just conform to it.

The video was good the guy was kind of goofy but the message was great. It is not a good thing when you can learn more on the internet than when your paying thousands of dollars to go to college. This bothers me, college should be a place to deepen your education not to school you in to doing the same thing that everyone else has done. It's like a business degree many people are trying to get one here at South and they all learn the same thing they are all "schooled" the same way well when you get your degree it is hard to find a job unless you think outside of the box you do things a little bit different.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

This has been by far my favorite video we have had to watch so far. It amazed me at how he can talk about the fact that he does not know how long he has left to live, and be calm about it. He does not seem to let his diagnosis get him down. I can tell that Randy enjoys his job and his life. Randy is definitely a man who practices what he preaches. His lectures reflect on his life experiences.


The lecture focused on how to lead your life. His first point was on childhood dreams. Everyone has these dreams when we were young and the world seemed to be in the palm of our hands. One of his dreams was to be in the NFL. I also wanted to be in the NFL when I was a kid. I didn't realize at that time that you have to be a freak of nature to make it to the NFL. But as a child we all think we can do anything. Most of us will not fulfill our childhood dreams but Randy did, most of them any way. But this just goes to show you that dreams are a good thing and let kids dream.


His next point was about enabling childhood dreams of others. Throughout his life he has had a lot of positive effects on people. He started a class that allowed students to be creative while learning. Randy used video game technology to teach students different things. The class taught students about computer programming. When the students graduated they had companies that were ready to hire them straight out of college. By starting the program he helped open doors in students' lives.


His last point was on lessons learned. He talked of people who have helped him get where he is today. In order for someone to be successful, they need someone to encourage them. Everyone has potential in life to do great things. Living life is truly a learning experience. I have realized that not everything in life is fair. We all have to deal with experiences that we don't want to face. However, they make us stronger as a person. He also talked on being loyal and doing the right thing. That part of the lecture was very true. Finding the good and people and being honest is the best way to live your life. I really believe it will make you a happier person. The lecture was very enlightening. It made me appreciate my life. No one really knows how long they have to live, so we should live everyday to the fullest.

ACCESS

Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) was created by Governor Bob Riley and his task force on distance learning. The goal is to promote equal educational opportunities for all students. In order to meet the goal, classroom courses and teachers are provided through technology. Equal access will be provided through high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning. It is really awesome because students can receive the highest quality education, no matter what school the student attends. The classes are taken online during regular school hours. The student is able to work at their own pace and has the opportunity to repeat a lesson if they are struggling. The student can take higher level classes that are not offered at all schools. It really gives the students who do not have the opportunity to take AP classes the equal chance at an education they deserve.

I think that ACCESS is a giant step to an equal education for every student. Technology is increasing so much it does not matter if you attend a lower class school. Every student is offered the same opportunity to take classes that interest them. I know this tool will be very useful in the classroom. It will be helpful to the student as well as the teacher. Providing an equal educational experience for every student will open doors for students in urban areas who do not experience AP classes in their school. I know ACCESS will be a huge site in the schools in the future.

ALEX

Alabama Learning Exchanges (ALEX) is a site that offers many benefits to teachers, administrators and students. It is an easy site to access because you do not have to search for the topics you need. All the information is available in one site. The site offers a course of study which is laid out by subject and grade level. All of Alabama's course standards are shown and can be used as a reference from this site. Web links are available which offer helpful sites for teachers, administrators and students. Teachers can access this site and create lesson plans or view lessons plans to use in the class. Professional learning provides development opportunities for teaching and learning tools. Educational podcasts are available for download to use in the class. ALEX was created by the Alabama department of education to provide quality for learning.

I think that ALEX is a great tool to use as a teacher. The site offers many references that can aid a teacher for the class. For example, the podcasts available could go right along with the lesson plan to help the student understand the lesson. The way the course of study was laid out will be very helpful in making sure that everything that needs to be taught is covered. The fact that it keeps you up to date with the latest news is awesome as well. This one website can be accessed to view many different subjects or topics that come to mind. It is a one stop site to use as a reference.

The Networked Student

The Networked Student is all about using technology in his psychology class. His whole class revolves around using the computer. The teacher never lectures and there is no textbook required. The class is taught through connectivism, which is the theory that learning is part of a social network with diverse connections and ties. This process allows the student to have more control in the way they are learning. The student has the power to lead themselves in understanding the material.

The student uses google scholar to look up articles for his post. He finds an article that is worthy of a post and shares the article. He also views other blogs to learn about psychology that other people have posted. I thought it was neat that he can look up mp3's and podcasts that supported his learning and download them to his ipod. Now that they are on his ipod he can listen to the information anytime he wants. By gathering all this information, he is able to create a virtual textbook. Now, his knowledge can be shared with the rest of the world. So why does he even need a teacher? The teacher shows the student how to use the network. The teacher shows the student how to differentiate good and bad information. The student acquires skills for the 21st century.

I thought the networked student was an interesting video. However, I do not know how much I agree with what technology is coming to. I cannot imagine an eighth grader performing all of their work from the computer, and not even using a textbook. It seems to me that the computers are becoming the teachers. I do not believe that all students are going to be able to learn like the networked student. Some students need a teacher to explain and teach the information. I do not see how all students are going to be able to teach themselves on the computer. In my opinion not all students would enjoy this new form of teaching.

Richard Miller This is how we dream

Richard Miller:This Is How We Dream Part 1 discusses the capability of communicating globally. Working towards making incremental changes. He discusses going on a whole different level of collaborating from the computer. The computer is the world at our fingertips. Everything you want to know can be researched on the web. Research papers can now be written without stepping into a library. Collaboration can be used through network technology with text, image, and film. Technology makes it possible to combine experiences into a document. Educators around the world can communicate learning ideas without leaving their classroom.

Richard Miller:This Is How We Dream Part 2 discusses the digital environment we live in. He lectures on the idea that all writing should be done on the computer. This process allows the writing to be there forever. We need to be able to share our work so that ideas can be gained. Ideas don't belong to us individually, but as a culture. He discusses moving to a digital composing material instead of word processor. He believes that writing is changing. The goal is to articulate dreams and share with others. Idea driven documents are needed to show the world.

Eliminating writing on paper and moving to multimedia writing does not interest me. I have always liked being able to use pen and paper instead of the computer. I understand that the computer is everything one needs to complete a paper, but I do not feel I am ready for that step. Maybe over time if it comes into effect my views will change, but for right now I am not crazy about the idea. I do not feel that students will be able to write with multimedia at first, but with practice they will become adjusted to it. If you have to adjust to a standard as part of the curriculum it is human nature that you will.

Useing Ipods in the Classroom

I think iPod usage in the classroom is a great step in educating students. It is a way of learning that can be used anywhere. iPods are no longer just being used for music downloads, they have taken on a more complex role...aiding in education. This link is a great site in explaining how iPods are being used in the classroom. Duke University gave out free iPods to students who enroll in the classes that require them. iPods are being used to enhance classroom materials, lectures, and assignments.

iPods are an awesome way to help students learn materials. They can become study aids for students. They can be used as a review before an exam. Having all this information available right from your iPod is amazing. Being able to have the lectures on audio will allow students to be able to listen to their iPod while they are doing other things. Imagine having your lecture on your iPod and being able to use that instead of taking notes thats like a lecture packet on steroids. Having the information available on the iPod is conventient because you can take it anywhere you go. Down the road textbooks could possibly be replaced by the iPod.

Itunes U

This was the first time I have ever heard anything about iTunesU. I think it is an awesome tool that can be helpful to anyone who uses it. The information is coming straight from the universities, museums, PBS stations, and cultural institutions. You can also make audio and visual content available for download and subscription. It seems simple and easy to use.

I think iTunesU can be very helpful to teachers and students. For example, a teacher can download a lecture and if the student was absent or did not understand everything taught, the student can listen to it online. There is all kinds of educational information on this site. Educational resources are available free at hand. I thought the fact that you can get information about universities on there was pretty neat. iTunesU will become more known once the word gets out about all it has to offer.

Alice Christie Ruburic

Dr.Alice Christie Teaching Class

I chose to write my blog on the effectiveness of the rubric. I was first introduced to the rubric last semester in my Education in Diverse Society class. We had to make a rubric to take into the schools to use as a guideline for events we are looking for. At first I was not into the project, but once I started composing my rubric it started to make sense to me. A rubric is a chart that can guide students in completing a task. It contains a set of criteria and descriptions to evaluate student work.

A rubric can be very helpful in the classroom. They can be used to guide students in completion of an assignment. It can act as a set of guidelines that the teacher expects. They can be used as tools to develop the students' abilities. In the classroom, a rubric can also set a clear line for achievement levels. Rubrics are not used as much in the south, however, they are becoming more popular. I think that in the future the rubric will be a more commonly used tool for teachers.

Info on Podcasting

On this site It showed me that while your regular subjects reading, writing, math, and science are very important the future is in technology. This goes back to the whole thing is it alright to be a technologically illiterate teacher. I believe that in today's world it is not okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher. Podcast, skype, videocasting, and bloging can help a teacher present information that you would usually get from a book and make it more enjoyable and easier to learn. Teachers must learn how to do all these things or the world is going to leave you behind. It is amazing at just how much even first graders know about technology take some of the kids from our Comment4kids ,this is where our class comments on classroom blogs from all over, these kids were learning how to blog and use photoshop I didn't learn about these things till i was in college
I think websites like the one I visited http://www.langwitches.org/blog/category/podcasting/, are great for students and teachers both as future teachers we can not stop learning if we do then we have failed as educators. I am not a huge fan of podcasting but I do like videocasting and bloging I think that they can be huge when dealing with childten and teenagers. As educators we must be as technologically literate as possible if not we should find another career.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia

I was aware that Wikipedia could not be trusted but never really thought about how companies could use this to better their rep on the web. But it makes perfect sense you can change how millions of people who research your company on the internet feel about you. Wikipedia could be a great source for a paper but you have to understand that the info you think is correct could have been altered by the people that you are researching. Look at the example the article gave you on Wal-Mart




From:


Wages at Wal-Mart are about 20% less than at other retail stores. Founder Sam Walton once argued that his company should be exempt from the minimum wage.

To:


The average wage at Wal-Mart is almost double the federal minimum wage (Wal-Mart). However, founder Sam Walton once argued that his company should be exempt from the minimum wage.



now think about it if you were researching Wal-Mart on how they compared to other retail stores in paying their employee's. The way they changed it would have you believe that they paid their employee's double what the others did but in fact they pay 20% less than the others. You also have to think about how much propaganda could be put on there by people who are trying to push their views on you. I mean a white supremacists could go on Martin Luther King's bio and change it so it makes him look like a person who hated white people which we know it isn't true but if you didn't know anything about him you could be led to believe that he was a horrible person.

You can use Wikipedia for research you just have to check the facts more. But think about this how do you know that the info in a printed encyclopedia is true were you there to witness them researching the facts. This is something that us as human beings have been dealing with since the dawn of time. It's just like the bible when the first bible was put together at the beginning of the roman catholic church the people who were putting it together knew to get it started that they had to make it so rich males liked it because if they didn't then it would never catch on. I know I'm going t catch hell for that but it's OK I can take it. I have used Wikipedia for papers before but I always had other sources just to check each other out. So yes I do think you can use it you just have to be more careful.

Gary Hayes Social Media Count

This was amazing to me I knew that millions of people were on the internet but man that was crazy just the amount of emails that had been sent in just the small amount of time that I was on the site. this just goes to show you that we are in the technological age and if you don't get on board now you will be left in the dark. If you have seen the counter imagine how many of the people sending email are children or the number of social networking pages created how many of them are children the social networking page is probably more adults than children mainly because most 8 to 18 year old's already have social networking pages they have a myspace page or a facebook page or even both and twitter. This just proves the point that as a teacher you have to be technologically literate because the kids you are teaching are very literate and if your not you will never suceed as an educator.

Karl Fisch: Is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is not okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher. If you are a technologically illiterate teacher then you are doing an injustice to all the students that you are teaching. In my opinion you must be able to relate to someone to be able to teach them well if you have no idea of how to even get on the internet then how are you going to teach a student who spends a minimum of 2 hours a day on the internet. If you don't know what a social networking site is and all of your students have a Facebook or Myspace page or both how can you begin to get the message you are trying to teach. I can only imagine if my teachers in high school would have used technology in their teaching maybe I would have done a little bit better in those classes. I went and sat in on a 9th grade English class here in Mobile county and the teacher was using a type of "Smart Board" and the students were taking a quiz on run-on sentences and the whole class had a remote and they took the quiz all together they would answer the questions and then go over them right then to me that seemed like a great way to learn. I think that every teacher young or old should have to be somewhat technologically literate if not then find a new profession.

"It's Not About the Technology"

I agree with Mrs. Hines as a teacher you must also be a lifetime learner not just a teacher. I think that as teacher if we lose the gift of learning than we have lost our right to teach. How can we teach someone something if we ourselves are not able to learn teaching and learning are not the same thing but they are tied to each other like a knot. I think as a teacher in the 21st century we must be up to date on the latest ways of educating if we aren't then we need to turn in our resignation and find a new profession education is a serious subject we are educating our future. If you look at it that way then it makes it much easier to understand why we have to stay up to date on the newest technology. "Technology is useless without good teaching" this is my favorite line in the whole blog it is so true that just because we have the newest technology doesn't automatically mean that the kids we are teaching will learn the subject. We must be good teachers on top of being "tech literate" teachers because what is technology if we can't use it.

In the section "Be a 21st Century Teacher without the technology" this is a great section it just shows you that you can teach in the 21st century in a school that doesn't have all the bells and whistles in technology that some of the other schools do. This just goes to show you that teachers have to be on top of there game when it comes to educating the youth of our country.

Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

This video is a good represintation of college life in the 21st century I can remember my first semester in college I bought all the books that were needed, or at least i thought they were needed, and then i get in some of the classes and don't even so much as open the book. I was really angry I spent good money on those books only to sell them back to the book store for less than half of what I paid for them. I also spend probably 2 to 3 hours a day on the internet and I might read three books a year but the web pages are off the chart. I also have seen the one where the girl has the paper that said the person that sits beside me paid for the class and never comes I myself have been that person. There is many teachers and profesors that don't even try to use technology in their teaching and that is a problem just look at some of the statistics in this video technology is the way to connect with the students you are teaching. Think about it if you can't connect with your students then you can't teach them and if you can't teach them then you are in the wrong profession . Technology is not the only thing you need to use in teaching but if you just ignored it all together then you are doing yourself and your students a grave injustice.

I myself will try to do the best I can to incorperate technology and books and chalk boards into my teaching process. I remember one of the first English classes I took in college was at a community college and all our papers had to be hand written in class and turned in at the end of the class period we could not use computers or take them home to write them on our home computer. This blew my mind I was in a college class and couldn't use a computer to write a paper are you kidding me I was able to do that at a small private school that I went to in high school. I think the only thing I would add to the video was maybe instead of having them hold up pieces of paper maybe have all of them have laptops to send the message that we are in a technilogical world and it is here to stay it is not a fad it is the norm.

Podcast

I could see this being the next big thing in education especially on the college level but also on the lower levels. Schools can keep in touch with the children, the parents and the community. Us as educators have to stay up with technology to keep education interesting for the kids. This wouldn't be my favorite way to learn but it would be better than reading a book thats for sure some of the podcast were kind of drawn out and dry.

The first podcast I listened to was the SmartBoard Lessons Year End Ideas it was pretty good it was verry conversational because there were two hosts. They had a great idea on this one about how to use movies in math this is a great idea, It makes math more interesting to kids. One of the T.V. shows they used as and example was The Office this eppisode could be very usefull in teaching children what a surplus is and basic math. They were complex in this podcast but not too complex to the point where people couldn't understand what they were talking about.

The next podcast was KidCast Video Podcasting this podcast was informative on the art of podcasting and how it can be used in education. But it was kind of boring the guy that was the host was good. This one was not conversational it was one guy just talkin I really didn't enjoy this one but he had great information just not very good and drawing people in. If I didn't have to listen to it for this class I would have turned it off with in the first two minnutes of turning it on. I'm glad I had to listen to it because it was chocked full of great information. The using the I-Pod touch for education sounds like a great idea but the feasibility of it is kind of up in the air. Ipod Touch

The next one was ConnectLearning Episode 90 it was different than all the other ones it was at a connfrence and was a question and answer session. In my opinion it was all right not great but not bad. It was better that the last one in that it grabed you at the begining and held your attention instead of about boring you half to death. Useing Ipods in education is becoming a big thing i didn't even realize this but it makes perfect sense the Ipod is like having a radio, cd player, dvd player, and books all in the palm of your hand. It was interesting to see how some of the people in the podcast were using technology in education and what they were using. Iphone

Podcasting is like any other type of media if used right it can be very helpfull and entertaining. Most of these post were ok I didn't enjoy this that much but it was ok. If you were to use this type of thing in the classroom you would have to be carefull on what you used. Like I said before If you don't hook the listiner in the first few seconds then you might lose them, and if thats a student that could be bad. Podcast would be great for the high school students and maybe middle school I don't think podcasts would work in the lower grades because the don't have the attention span to use them properly hell I don't think i do.

The Importance of Creativity

This video was amazing I really enjoyed it. I think that he is spot on with all of his ideas of how the education system kills creativity. Why can't dance, music, art, or drama be taught along with the other "main" subjects. This brings up a great argument on the whole school curriculum and how some students might be better suited for a different curriculum than others. This video brings up some great thoughts on whether or not the curriculum we've had since the beginning of formal schooling is it fit for everyone. Should there be different options for students and parents have on what the curriculum is for the students. I think that in high school especially the creativity one has is pushed to the side so you can focus on the "important" subjects. I also agree with him on the story of Gillian Lynne on how she couldn't sit still and if she was a kid today they probably would have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. Maybe some of the kids they say have ADD and ADHD are great dancers or pianist or actors.I understand why the "important" subjects are considered that but I think that society has changed enough that we need to change the way we learn. If we don't stop killing these kids creative nature we might lose the next Shakespeare or the next Mozart. How depressing would that be if you found out that we destroyed a great composer before they even had a chance to show the world.

Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

This video was interesting the way the kids could interact across the world was awesome. I think this is the route education is heading in a hurry. This video shows just how important knowing the newest technology is. The kids on the video were doing things on the computer I wouldn't have dreamed of doing when I was in school. I believe that if i would have taken a class in high school like the one in the video it would have helped me out in the long run. I had a computer class but we learned how to make a power point, write a paper on word, make a spread sheet, the basic computer stuff. It amazed me how more advanced the kids in the video are compared to me at that age I didn't know what an avatar was until about a year ago.
I think Vicki Davis should be commended for the work she has done with these kids. It is very important for the students to learn how to do all of the things on the computer and other devices so they can function five years from now. I remember the first cell phone I got I was sixteen and it was this huge Nokia phone black and white screen no Internet I didn't even know what a text message was, now there is kids that are 10 years old with IPhone 10 years old I'm 23 and I can barely work one and these kids are doing it with ease. Think of going to every classroom rather if be math, science, history, or computer class and there is no pen and paper anymore just a computer on every desk. I think that is where education is headed very quickly too

Did You Know 3.0 and Mr. Winkle Wakes

The video was very interesting and was full of helpful facts. It really shocked me with some of the facts it is almost like the movie Terminator where the machines got too smart and took over the world. But that is the world we live in and if you don't know how to work on the newest technology then you will be left behind. We are in the technological age everything is done on computers even homework for school, think about what people did fifty years ago I almost can't imagine life without a cell phone more less with out a computer.
This is the world we live in where most people don't read the news paper or watch the evening news they just get on the Internet and find out what they want with the touch of a button. Think about it when is the last time you wrote a letter to someone and mailed using "snail mail" , the U.S. postal service, I don't know if I ever have. Try to think about the information on the web it is a mind boggling thing to think about. Anything you want legal or illegal you can find on the Internet and young people are the people that usually know how to use the newest technology the best.
So if your going to teach children in the era that we are in now you must learn how to use this technology are you will be left behind. I think this class is the perfect thing for aspiring teachers to take just to get them familiar with some of the new age ways to teach. I wish some of my teachers in high school would have used some of the new technology. I think you can reach the kids much better if you use some of the high tech stuff we have today such as text messages, Internet, blogs, social networking sites, e-mails the list can go on forever.
I think if we don't try to better our knowledge as educators we will be doing a great disservice to the children we teach. Like the video said India as more honor students than we have students that is amazing. The video states that China will be the number one English speaking country in the world and English isn't there native language. We as educators must do something about this or the U.S. will no longer be the world power. In all we have to be on the cutting edge of technology because we don't have the population of China or India so if we want to stay ahead we have to work on being better at educating the youth and our countries future

First Post

This is my first post
