Additional Assignment #5

In all of Mr. Spencer post (Just Teach Them to Solve for X)(Sketchy Portraits: 8th Grade Identity and Pencils);(He Just Likes the Class for the Pencils);(The Medium Shapes the Learning). I believe what Mr. Spencer is saying that you should have an open mind to new ideas. Encourage your students to think outside the norm and do not discourage our student from having creative ideas for how to get something done because that is how better ways are created.

Mr. Joe Bower that was interesting your perspective on discipline in school. Have you proposed your ideas to your school and if so what were their thoughts. With you saying that we need to rethink on how we use discipline in school. Do you think that some of the conventional ways maybe still need in certain situations.

The post I read from Mr. Joe Bower was about how he decide that his desk was taking up space. So he decide to change to the project table and it allows the students to create 3D models right of the planet earth so they can see where everything is.

Summary
The two post I read from Mr. Joe Bower blog show that he is always thinking of new ways to become a better teacher but also create a better environment for his students. So that it will enhance how much they learn in a day. Mr. Joe Bower post keep making think of new and create ideas that I could possible use when I become a teacher.

Summary C4K #3 Comments (8-11)

The post I read was was by a twelfth grade student and she posted about a book that compares life in the United States and Congo. How different the two lives really are and how it humbles you after you think about how we can have access to knowledge almost anywhere. While in other countries they have no where near the same access as we do.

The student I had this week was learning about the planets. So he demonstrated by creating kerproof to help him remember the orders of the planets.

The Student I had this week was Ms. Jenny's whole second grade at PT England school. They did a video showing many different things that are active and for some of the backgrounds that they had they used a green screen. They did a really good job and I enjoyed watch it.

My last young student was blogging about how you need your team to do the work together when you have a group project and how they enjoy blogging.

Overall the last four blogs I read showed that it does not matter what age you are you can blog out anything on your mind and also communicate with others.

Blog Assignment #11

First Graders in Ms. Cassidy's Class


http://edm310.blogspot.com/2010/03/ms-kathy-cassidy-skype-conversation.html


Ms. Cassidy uses many different ways and many different types of technology in her class room. All of them ways she try's her student seem to really enjoy. When she wants to try something new she looks up the info on how to use it.

The technique I would most likely use in my classroom area is skype because I am going to be a PE teacher I would use it to have competitions with other schools in certain activities. It would help me keep the students interested but also help
them with their daily activity they need to be health.

The approach I like thost from Ms. Cassidy is her attitude to try something and does not care if she fails the first time. Because she is going to keep trying til she figure out how to use what she is trying to learn for class.

C4K Summary #2 (4-7)

In this post it was about a town that had been take out by a earthquake and how families had lost family member along with almost everything they owned. Their were groups trying to start fund raiser to help the ChristChurch to allow them to be able to help the people who did not have a home anymore.


My first was on a student that was eleven years old and they were on a International blogging board with other students from United State, Australia, and New Zealand. I thought it was a nice way for students to debate their finds with another class in another part of the world.

My next comment was on student from Mr.Goerend and Mrs. Quam's sixth grade classes. The student post I read was a creative story about a pencil and I really enjoy reading and imaging the story coming to life.

The next comment was on a young student in the second grade and was learning how to do simple post. The post I read that she gave clues to a sweet and in most of the comment people thought it was a cupcake or a cake.

This comment was a sixth grade student learning how to blog for the first time. they did a very good job on their first post and gave encouragement and said to posting because I like to read more of the post he does.
