I definitely feel like I understand him more as a teacher than I did the first time that I read his blog. It took me a couple of times to really understand his use of language. He uses a lot of metaphors and is very sarcastic. I like this about him though. I like the methods he uses while teaching and those that he doesn't use, no bribing or scaring. I think that he has a lot of interesting things to say and I am glad that he has shared them with us.<br />

On my PLN I have The Facebook and Twitter as social networking sites. I am also following quite a few people whose blogs I have enjoyed reading and would like to continue to follow after this class. These people's blogs have very useful information on them in my opinion. Some of these blogs include:<br />
Matthew Needleman, Jeff Utecht and his blog "The Thinking Stick", Mr. Clung's blog, Dorothy Burt's blog "Manaiakalani", and Eric Langhourst's blog. I also have a few other sites on here which I was introduced to from this class and they include The ALEX website, The ACCESS website, the Google Squared website, and the Wolfram Alpha website. I hope that through my PLN I can keep in touch with these people and continue to follow them and gain knowledge that will help me in the field of education.<br />

The first blog that I looked at was Phoebe's and she was in Gaudet 60 but I did not know her grade level. She wrote about her Halloween experience in her post. She told a story of how she went to a party and at the party there was someone dressed up as a joker that kept trying to scare her and her friends. She said that it was annoying because the person was not scary and that she just had bad breath. I think that this is so funny because from the whole night of Halloween that is what stuck out to her the most.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpIXDDDJZXUNqQKLBGSvimkazgP8NwluSTEio4yf_eZIIXsGqXNhoVt5CegDii9fZlN8FF_tDhGvshVzt1x6FwiEbjq34AmZsT4-xGxPufBPkbHoBh6D1zAY6YhDYaHd3IPApKw_RnXw/s1600/weil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Andre Weil" border="0" google"="" height="200" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpIXDDDJZXUNqQKLBGSvimkazgP8NwluSTEio4yf_eZIIXsGqXNhoVt5CegDii9fZlN8FF_tDhGvshVzt1x6FwiEbjq34AmZsT4-xGxPufBPkbHoBh6D1zAY6YhDYaHd3IPApKw_RnXw/s200/weil.jpg" title="Source:" width="133" /></a><br />

The next blog that I read was from Mrs. Melito's Class and I read Kelly A's blog. In the post that I read Kelly informed me about a mathematician named Andre Weil. He was a very talented mathematician and did most of his work in the area of algebraic geometry. Weil taught at a Muslim school in India, he was an author and then finally taught at Princeton. She had very good information in her post and I enjoyed learning about him. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The last post that I read was from Mrs. Huebner's Class and I read Amy's blog. In her post she had written a story called The Wild Doberman. This story was about the journey of a dog from one owner to another. The dog had run away from its first owner to what he thought was an abandon house but it turned out that the house was not abandoned. The house had an older couple that lived in it and they loved their new dog. I enjoyed reading Amy's story because she used her imagination to write it.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I followed Matthew Needleman's blog titled "Creating Lifelong Learners." I really enjoyed this blog and all of the information that Mr. Needleman was able to share with me. Through this blog Mr. Needleman offers elementary teachers practical and useful tips. I read two of his posts, the first "3 ways to Download Movies from YouTube." This post gave three tips for downloading videos from YouTube to use in your classroom. He informed me of two ways the first being Zamzar.com. He suggested to use this one for only downloading a few movies and then he suggested to use browser plug-ins such as Download Helper for Firefox or Download Youtube for Safari. He says that these are best when you are trying to download a lot of movies. I have not needed to download very many movies from YouTube but I was glad to know of these tools for when I may need to.<br />
The second post that I read of Mr. Needleman's was "Six Ways Teachers Can Improve Education This Year." I really enjoyed reading this post because it had some great tips on it that you may not always think about doing. His first tip was to greet your students at the door each morning. I think that this is a must for any teacher and if you are a teacher and do not do this you should be ashamed of yourself. In my opinion, this is something that starts anyone's day off in the right direction. His second tip was to eat in the faculty lounge. This to me was something that I would have never thought about but once he made his point about why it made perfect sense. Mr. Needleman says that if you don't eat with your faculty it is hard to be a "family" and that all teachers in a school are a "family" and this brings them closer together. His third tip was to teach authentic writing. His fourth tip was to teach art as a discipline. I fully agree with this idea as well. It is not enough to teach art only one day a week. Art allows students to be themselves and use their imagination and their creativity and this leads to higher level thinking and learning. It is crazy to me that so many schools do not allow any time for this now. It is a must in schools and should be used DAILY! His fifth tip was to incorporate multimedia into every lesson. This, too, is a must. We, as teachers, can only reach so many students by just lecturing but when we offer the information in multiple ways we are able to reach more of our students. His final tip was to teach test prep 2 minutes every day. This idea is one that I had not thought about but is a great one. We expect our students to do well on standardized tests but don't really ever prepare them to take them. Mr. Needleman says that we should teach them how to take these type tests. <br />
I think that all teachers should read this post because it is very informative and useful. I will try to incorporate all of these ideas into my classroom when I am teaching and think that all teachers should do so as well!Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-81385190937918111912010-12-01T20:05:00.006-06:002010-12-06T16:31:37.473-06:00Blog Post 13<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1aj0qfDcC2VHH-D5ZG1bKsXXqNsSZshFJmmkyeUvfDlMsQpEd5AmgZLmhwEh7PPOIJ-Czi9XZjG2WkklncBHVXbT2dFOrehs0CpWrrKUnMfOSKMTM822wtUNm3RQobmsVbH219LIwoyA/s1600/alex.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ALEX logo" title="Source: www.alex.state.al.us/index.php" border="0" height="113" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1aj0qfDcC2VHH-D5ZG1bKsXXqNsSZshFJmmkyeUvfDlMsQpEd5AmgZLmhwEh7PPOIJ-Czi9XZjG2WkklncBHVXbT2dFOrehs0CpWrrKUnMfOSKMTM822wtUNm3RQobmsVbH219LIwoyA/s200/alex.png" width="200" /></a>For this blog post we were supposed to browse and explore the resources available to us on websites such as ALEX and ACCESS. I really enjoyed doing this because these were sites that I knew existed but had never really taken the time to explore. ALEX is a website that makes many resources available to the teachers in Alabama. It was all of the state requirements and courses of study for education for all age groups and it also has an abundant supply of sample lesson plans. This is great because it allows teachers to share their ideas with other teachers throughout the state. ALEX also has a Professional Learning tab in which teachers can go and see what continuing education classes are being offered throughout the state and it also has links to where teachers can find new tips and tricks about the latest technology. I would think that most teachers find this site very resourceful in their planning and I know that I will one day too! </div><img alt="ACCESS logo" title="Source: www.accessdl.state.al.us/" height="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP6tBjA0lLYN8pCdi-gR0oGo1oH5Wk-U6r0T_VUtPuCl3GuPYNFpbQCzBboSpo6OkZ6Luy6_P9vduzq3UGRxuiKSZ0aV0J0JHKORRhrUSzQPUSu_fs4HhynhB8SNox5-1t1ZwPpjT_fF0/s400/ACCESS.jpg" width="400" /><br />
ACCESS is a site that I was a little less familiar with than ALEX. The ACCESS site is a site geared more for students to use as a way of obtaining an equally challenging education no matter what the situation is. The site says that their goal is to offer equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning opportunities. I think that this is a great site for students because it helps to bring opportunites for education to all different parts of the state.<br />
I am really glad to see that the state is trying to provide multiple resources to our students and teachers to better the overall education of this state. I hope that they continue to strive to do so more and more as time goes on.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-86952197636027653482010-11-21T20:48:00.002-06:002010-11-21T20:49:56.028-06:00Project 15I really enjoyed this project and had so much fun working on it!

In doing this survey I wanted to see how many people were members of The Facebook, how much time was spent on it daily, and what people's main uses for it were. After collecting all of the surveys back, it is very evident to me that most people are members of The Facebook. In the response I received back, 20 out of 22 people are now members. I learned that most people use The Facebook site daily and most people use it for social networking. The majority of the people that took the survey said that The Facebook was counterproductive to their studies, which I totally agree with. Most of them also said that The Facebook would not be a good tool to supplement their studies with. I enjoyed creating this survey and getting the results back from it. I think that it shows how much our society depends on these social networking sites.

Blog Post ??<br />
In this post you will need to use a connection that you have made that is on your PLN. Explain why you are following this person, how they are potentially helpful to you in an education sense, and what you have learned from them and their blog. Explain how you will potentially use what you have learned from their blog. <br />
<br />
I think that this could be a really interesting blog post because it would allow you to see what type of people and connections we are making through our PLN and blogging.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-33019278368917319122010-11-14T21:42:00.000-06:002010-11-14T21:42:19.200-06:00Final Project Progress ReportFor my final project I know that I will be working in a group with Brittany Schneider, Lisa Ferro, and Mary Mauceri! We are working on Project 15 together as well. I am excited about working with them again on this project because we all work really well together. We have not discussed exactly what we will be doing for this project because we have been so busy working on Project 15 but I know that it will be great! <br />

In his blog he presents you with a number of different things to think about as an educator. In the first post that I read of his he discusses how educators teach their students. He touches on the idea that it is not the material that has to be taught but it is the way that the material is presented and taught to the students. He says that not all students learn the same way and that teachers need to take that in to consideration and teach in a variety of ways so that all students no matter how they learn best can benefit from the lessons. This was very interesting to me because it is very true and I do not think that all teachers do a good job of remembering this when they are teaching. I hope that when I am actually in the working field I am able to remember this and use different approaches to teaching so that everyone can learn.<br />
In his second post he made several very bold statements about the direction that the world is heading in. He said that we live in a socially connected world, whether it be Facebook or Twitter, we are connected with the whole world. He also said that we need to stop making excuses for the amount of time that we spend "connected" and just face the fact that it is the norm of society and it is expected of us to be connected in society today. He also said that the future is mobile. He said that our phones are the way that most people will be connected in the next three years if not sooner. All phones will have a mobile device built into them sooner than later. <br />
I enjoyed following this blog. Mr. Utecht has some very interesting information on his blog and it is fascinating to read.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-910362005220112862010-11-07T22:44:00.002-06:002010-11-07T22:44:23.343-06:00Teach Your Child How to Tie Their Shoes<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IXZ0AfEZuu0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IXZ0AfEZuu0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-85220676238037312862010-11-07T22:35:00.003-06:002010-12-12T22:01:35.298-06:00Summary Post C4K:3-8<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5C26CMxpRPnXs1IRLzHZXUCOq9CAHMwQp9n0YtLQPa7GTy7sFILT1A4qmNcmhHbvYP0ydyoFkKl18-GbDKfezMncR9TXmFb3CrbIRINiQbT8WFth3DFJya39sFGpMYDfzmruVWwSPkA/s1600/C4K.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="kids around the earth" title="Source: Google" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC5C26CMxpRPnXs1IRLzHZXUCOq9CAHMwQp9n0YtLQPa7GTy7sFILT1A4qmNcmhHbvYP0ydyoFkKl18-GbDKfezMncR9TXmFb3CrbIRINiQbT8WFth3DFJya39sFGpMYDfzmruVWwSPkA/s320/C4K.jpg" width="272" /></a></div>I have really enjoyed viewing and commenting on the kids blogs. It is so much fun to see children blogging and using the computer in ways that I would have never been able to at their ages. <br />
The first blog that I viewed was a little boy named James and he is in the second grade. In this post he created a story about Kupe and filmed himself telling this story. In his video, it was great to see his confidence in front of the camera. It was great to see this little boy as comfortable as he was making the video. <br />
I viewed another blog that was created by a boy named Felix and in this post Felix discussed what makes him mad and how he deals with his anger. I think that this is a great exercise for children because it is important for children to be able to identify their emotions and know how to deal with the effectively. <br />
I also read a blog post from a little girl named Kathryn and in her post she talked about a transition that she had to make to a new school. It was great to hear her talk about the situation and what she expected and then how it all actually turned out. Kathryn was at first afraid of going to a new school but then once she got their and met the people and got to know some of her classmates she decided that it was not as bad as she thought it was going to be.<br />
Another blog post that I read was a girl named Rebecca and in her post she gave a run down on the characters in her favorite Nintendo DS game. The game that she likes is a detective game. <br />
I also viewed the blog of a boy named Nagrom. In his post he had uploaded a picture that he had taken and in this picture it looked as if it were pieces of boards that had been nailed together. In his post he asked what we thought of the picture. I told him that I thought it was a great picture and that it really allowed the viewer to have an open mind and see what they wanted to see in it. I think that it is great for children to have hobbies such as photography and I told him to keep up the good work.<br />
I really have enjoyed following the blogs of these children. It is a wonderful thing to see them learning so much and being able to show how much they are learning by blogging!Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-58115875419809141002010-11-01T16:34:00.001-05:002010-11-01T16:36:34.361-05:00Blog Post 11<span id="goog_1382629310"></span><span id="goog_1382629311"></span>In the video and the Skype interview that we watched of Ms. Cassidy and her class it is so amazing to me how she uses technology in her classroom of first graders. She incorporates so many different ways of learning into her classroom that it makes it FUN for the students. They are never bored and they are always learning...and they don't even realize it, what a great head fake. Anytime you can teach children something and they have fun learning it you have been successful. Ms. Cassidy uses blogs, wikis, Skype, and webpages in her class to teach first graders. She uses these programs to teach the alphabet, reading, and many other things that first graders are to be taught, she just teaches it in a very different way than your traditional teacher would. <br />
I hope that when I am a teacher I am able to use all of these programs in my classroom. I think that it is really great that Ms. Cassidy has the support of her administration and fellow teachers. I think that this would be one reason that I would not be able to use these programs in my classroom, but I hope that this is not the case. I really enjoyed seeing the students learning and navigating on the internet. It is truly amazing what a 7 year old can do...children always surprise me!<br />

I definitely agree with him when he says that schools can not continue to model themselves from the past. The educational system that we are modeling our educational system on now was created years and years ago and is becoming outdated. Mr. Robinson's views on ADHD are so true. I feel like every child you meet now days has ADHD and is on some type of medication, I believe that it is an epidemic! With all of the stimulation that our children have today it is hard for them to focus on the boring teacher at school and that is why our way of educating has to change too. We have got to find a way to get our student's attention. This is our job as educators! I think that his thoughts on the education system running like a factory are great. We do do this to our children, not everyone learns well in a group and what makes us think that they can learn with 24 other children their same age! I had never thought about this until this video but it is almost like our education limits our learning and our knowledge. Robinson says in his video that we are constantly told that there is one answer, we are always told not to work with each other (that is cheating) and it is these ideas that limit us. We are constantly given limits in what we can know and what we should know at a certain age...this is ridiculous...why are we limiting our children and what they can and can't do based on their age and grade level? He really makes you think about these things. Like I said, I really liked this presentation. If I were to do a presentation like this I would be the narrator.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-82252093571051730902010-10-31T22:39:00.004-05:002010-11-01T16:39:49.597-05:00Blog Post 10<b>An Open Letter to Educators</b><br />

I do this same thing occasionally. It is so interesting to me how one class can make learning so interesting and fun that it doesn't even feel like I am being forced to do an assignment; I want to because it is really something that I have never done before and it is fun. While on the other hand, I have these hour long lecture classes that I dread going to and like Morgan have to force my self to literally stay awake but also how do you stay focused when you have a monotone professor talking about something he really doesn't even want to be talking about...give me a break! I think that most students feel this way!<br />
<br />
<b>Don't Let Them Take Pencils Home</b><br />
I think that this post was great to remind teachers and people in general that in life we need to focus not on the problem but on finding a solution for the problem. It is much easier to talk about the problem over and over again than it is to find a solution to the problem...this is the problem! <br />

I think that it is really great to do self evaluations, it<br />
allows you to think about what you are doing and what is really important to you. The question "Am I better today than yesterday" is a great one to ask. If you did something today that you did not excel at or that you were not particularly proud of...there is alway tomorrow to do better. I like the idea of having a sentence to live by. My sentence to live by is "NEVER GIVE UP!" I think that you can do anything if you really want to and like Randy Pausch said in his final lecture...if you give up on something than you really did not want it bad enough.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-45699003578211458292010-10-28T09:49:00.001-05:002010-10-28T09:50:15.325-05:00Project 12- Skype Interview<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K6izNaxBtQ8?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K6izNaxBtQ8?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="385"></embed></object>Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-586769801889867822010-10-24T10:53:00.021-05:002010-10-24T12:18:36.835-05:00Additional Assignment 2<div style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6dgfano56v4qx6vbkkhzwAHbrmSC2qgy4czeQLZeTye17qixRFsD7QPe26BNrfnZMymNcZQDQAWw-gylUBxS7ss8BlIGXXKRs2GDlYZ4L-DHKNxJC9F4ZtvRg3hpLpxMa9uCSwEN96FE/s1600/EDM+310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="children using a hole in the wall computer" border="0" google?="" height="240" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6dgfano56v4qx6vbkkhzwAHbrmSC2qgy4czeQLZeTye17qixRFsD7QPe26BNrfnZMymNcZQDQAWw-gylUBxS7ss8BlIGXXKRs2GDlYZ4L-DHKNxJC9F4ZtvRg3hpLpxMa9uCSwEN96FE/s320/EDM+310.jpg" title= "source:Google" width="320" /></a></div></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">1. What do you think? If learners are motivated, can they teach themselves?</span><br />
I think that this video proves that if anyone wants to learn they can. In this video it says if there is an interest then education happens and I think that this is a very true statement.<br />
<span style="color: red;">2. If those motivated learners are kids, can they teach themselves?</span><br />
Yes, in the video there were multiple examples of kids teaching themselves all sorts of information without any help.<br />
<span style="color: red;">3. What conditions are necessary for kids to teach themselves? For anyone to teach him or herself?</span><br />
The only thing that is necessary for anyone to teach themselves is interest and a computer<br />
<span style="color: red;">4. What role do computers and internet access play in the process?</span><br />
The computers played a very important role in the learning of these children because that is where they received all of the information but it was neat to see this happen because none of the children had ever seen a computer before but they played with it and figured out how to use it<br />
<span style="color: red;">5. What role does motivation, a desire to learn?</span><br />
Motivation played a key role in this video because it was the children's desire to learn how to use the computer that sparked it all. If they had not wanted to learn how to use the computer that had been placed in their town then they would not have learned anything from this experiment.<br />
<span style="color: red;">6. What roles do a problem, a question or multiple problems or questions play in the process?</span><br />
The questions were given to the children in English, which none of them new how to speak. The children used the computer to translate the question to their native language and then they were able to explore and learn all about the specific question. The question gave them a starting point and then from there the possibilities were endless!<br />
<span style="color: red;">7. How do you motivate someone to learn?</span><br />
I first try to get them interested and excited about a certain subject and then go from there<br />
<span style="color: red;">8. How are you motivated to learn?</span><br />
I am motivated to learn when there is a certain something that I am curious about or confused about<br />
<span style="color: red;">9. Can anyone who is not motivated to learn learn?</span><br />
I do not think that a non motivated person can learn because they do not have that desire and interest so therefore they probably will not be able to retain the information that it taught to them <br />
<span style="color: red;">10. Do you teach yourself? When? Why?</span><br />
Yes, all the time, it is almost a way of survival I feel like<br />
<span style="color: red;">11. What role does a teacher (either answer generally or use a specific example) play in your learning?</span><br />
I think that a great example of a teacher that has sparked my interest to learn is Dr. Strange. I would have never explored and used technology in this way if he had not given me a starting point and specific things to take a look at but it is great and I have really enjoyed broadening my horizons when it comes to technology.<br />
<span style="color: red;">12. What is the most important idea,question or emotional response you take away with you as a result of watching this video?</span><br />
It is really amazing to watch these children learn so much on their own and it is sad that everyone does not have the opportunity to learn. In so many cities across the world the desire and interest is there but the resources are not. Also, it upsets me to see this and then know how much we take it for granted.<br />
<span style="color: red;">13. What other questions or issues are raised by this video that should be considered and discussed by aspiring teachers?</span><br />
I think that a main issue that should be discussed by teachers is the question "Would you go into one of these places that is a very undesirable teaching spot and teach if there was an interest and desire by the students? It is a tough question to answer I think.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-27948074335096090942010-10-19T14:40:00.000-05:002010-10-19T14:40:10.572-05:00Blog Post 9In Mr. Clung's blog post "What I've Learned This Year" I really enjoyed all the useful knowledge he discussed about the important characteristics that a teacher must have to be successful. It is extremely helpful to have a first time teacher discuss everything that they have learned in their first year and things that they realized were more important than others. I definitely agree with him when he says that teachers must be able to communicate well with others, be flexible and reasonable in their expectations, and be able to listen. I think that the most important of these is the listening one. If you are able to listen to your students and figure out what they need and how they learn and their likes and dislikes you should have a wonderful year because after all you are there for them. I really enjoyed all the insight he gave in this post, as it will be very useful in the future!Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-75218979931447956922010-10-17T22:44:00.009-05:002010-12-12T21:59:24.390-06:00Project 9b<object width='450' height='400' ><param name='movie' value='http://www.timetoast.com/flash/TimelineViewer.swf' /><param name='passedTimelines' value='81930' /><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always' /><param name='bgColor' value='#FFFFFF' /><embed src='http://www.timetoast.com/flash/TimelineViewer.swf?passedTimelines=81930' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' passedTimelines='81930' width='450' height='400' bgColor='#FFFFFF' allowScriptAccess='always' /></object>Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-63746813772120135852010-10-17T21:55:00.000-05:002010-10-17T21:55:11.073-05:00Blog Post 8This is How We Dream <br />

In this video it is very evident to me that I am not ready to write using multimedia nor am I ready to teach students how to do this. I do however think that I will be one day. It is already very clear to me that I will not make a good teacher unless I am able to do this and I am up for the challenge. Children in schools now are already exposed to so much more technology than I was when I was in school. I think that the possibilities that we have with technology are endless and the different ways that it can be used in schools excites me and makes me look forward to learning more about how to use this great resource we have!<br />

EDM 310 for Dummies and The Chipper Series<br />
<br />
I love how this video was made as an infomercial, how clever. The video definitely showed how I felt about the class at first. This class can be very overwhelming if you don't keep up with your work, but if you do and you work on learning how to do each of the assignments you can really learn a whole lot about using technology. I have loved learning about different things that are available to us such as Google Docs and Forms. I would have never known how easy it could be to take a survey and gather the results if I had not learned about Forms. <br />
The Chipper Series was funny to me. I think that it was a great way to get the point across about turning your work in on time.<br />

Critiques of Smartboards<br />
In the two articles that we read about the uselessness of smartboards they were both saying pretty much the same things. These interactive whiteboards do not bring enough to the classroom to justify spending thousands of dollars on them. I think that this is true unless you have a teacher that truly embraces the technology and spends lots of time coming up with lessons that allow the students to use the smartboards to their full potential. In the website <a href="http://www.teacherslovesmartboards.com/">Teachers Love Smartboards</a> there is so much information about using a smartboard. This site has lesson plans divided in to grades and subjects and different games that can be played. All of the information on this site really shows how useful and educational smartboards can be in the classroom.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-81765772320207266422010-10-17T21:36:00.001-05:002010-10-19T14:26:11.620-05:00Project 11<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ba0AOD2lgmk?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ba0AOD2lgmk?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389049024595751387.post-45688253934444460112010-10-13T15:59:00.000-05:002010-10-13T15:59:31.315-05:00Project 10I have been slowly developing my PLN. I have started using Symbaloo to keep everything organized. I have watched A 7th Graders PLN to try to better understand what mine should involve. I have been using Facebook for years so I have added it to my PLN. I have also added the teacher's blogs that I have been assigned to follow. I have added a few miscellaneous sites that I just enjoy browsing. I hope to develop my PLN much further as the semester goes on but for right now this is what I have. As I continue I am hoping to find many more teachers to follow with useful information and tips for the teaching world. I am also going to begin looking for different artists that I can follow because I love art and painting.Elizabeth Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04820638035374609723noreply@blogger.com0
