NEVER A RIGHT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

Well I must say this class has been one happy treat. I would like to thank everyone in class G for helping me enjoy this class. There are some great people in this class. I appreciate everything each person did for me. I want to wish everyone good luck in the future, I want everyone to be successful. Always remember to be better today and than you was yesterday. THANKS DR. STRANGE AND MS. AVERITT

FINAL POST

1. To completely honest if you didn't learn or enjoy one thing in this class then you need to wake up. This class has taught me to go the extra mile dig deep be more creative. I enjoyed doing the podcast I absolutely love audacity now. I enjoyed the networking I was able to come across a great PLN site. I think blogging is a very resourceful tool to use either in your classroom or at home. I think I will continue to blog because it gives me that outlet to go out and express my true feelings. At first it was difficult to understand this class because things change frequently but I really enjoyed it Dr. Strange your a very funny and enthusiastic professor great job.
This class has really took me and put me in different situations I wasn't ready for but with time it made it all worth it because I enjoyed what I was doing and to actually see the work I was able to present was nice. Google is the absolute best it has everything you can possibly think of right there for you. I will continue to use Google docs as a work station because of its convenience. Of course I enjoyed making videos and putting them on youtube. I'm sure I will add more videos pretty soon.

2. I cannot possibly think of anything else that you haven't taught me already to actually want to learn but if I do I know who to contact.

3.No I can't really say that I hate learning anything because each thing we learned will only make us better teachers.

4. This class was exciting because the class made everything so much fun, Dr. Strange very down to earth and good person, Ms. Averitt was such a sweet woman. My classmates were awesome I enjoyed them.

5.This was very challenging because you always had to keep pace. This class keeps you busy always something due or something coming up.

6. Bored???? There was no time to ever be bored.

7.I wouldn't change anything keep making us students even more technologically literate.

8.Yes I'm technology literate. rate myself as being GOOD.

9.Never forget what I learned and continue to take advantage of the different technological opportunities I am given.

Project 15 videocast

Well I hope you enjoy my interview with Mrs.Breech. I would to thank her so much for the interview.

Project 8

This is my project 8 using technology. I decided to create a video. Showing others how to tie a tie. There are plenty of people out here who have no clue how to tie one. So if my video can show at least one person. I have did my job.

P L N Post Part 2

Well since the last time I spoke with you on the development of my personal learning network. I recently joined twitter and began following other physical education teachers using pe central. I also like using face book also joined the pe central group, where I can connect with others about different ideas that I can implement in my classroom in the future. Mr. Mark Manross is the creator a tremendous man who responds to your questions or needs about physical education. It was surprising to me at first because many people do not take physical education teachers very serious when it comes to teaching. But in today's society with the increase of childhood obesity. The need for good and inspirational teachers are needed.
With my personal learning network it gives me the opportunity to interact with other teachers about whats going on at there schools. They are able to assist me and give me different ideas to help keep my kids active and entertained while exercising. This is truly just the beginning to not even be out of college and able to interact with such great people right now in your field is great. My personal learning network is just beginning right now hopefully with time I can increase my knowledge and build my name up as a tremendous physical education teacher. I would personally like thank EDM 310 for introducing me to a personal learning network.

Survey

During the semester I created a survey to gain some feedback on how everyone in my class felt about the things we learned in this class and whether they would utilize them in the future in there classroom in any grade level. In my results surprisingly no one had any interest in teaching middle school and that mostly all were going to use podcast in the future. Click Here for the Results

GOOGLE EARTH

In my Google earth I happen to take you on a tour of the places I have been. We started in Austell, Georgia, then traveled to Nashville TN, moving on to Jacksonville, Florida. I great cruise to Bahamas was next. Finally where every kid loves to go visit Orlando, Florida.

Seventh Grader PLE Presentation.

Its amazing how for one this seventh grader already has a PLE but also her speaking ability in her video. She does a great job describing for us her PLE she was very well organized and actually knew her material. Everything was neat you can tell she put hard work into it and actually took advantage of all the tools. I think its a great thing to not only show kids these new tools but also let them create and become familiar. I have to say her PLE is way better than mine, I should of skyped her for some tips on ways to improve. Link to video click here

Two questions that can change your life by Daniel Pink

Wow in those two minutes alone it leaves you really thinking hard on how to really describe our true feelings or how you should express yourself. Mr. Pink had two very important thought provoking questions. The first question was "What is your sentence"? It gave some incredible examples of sentences said my different famous people. Right now I cannot think of one that I really agree but it would involve changing at least one child's life. The second question was, " Was I better today than I was yesterday"? Great question that I think each person should be able to ask themselves every night. Because each day you wake up and start your day you should want to do better to become more successful.

Comments for teachers week 13 and 14

Well came across Tom Barrett. It was very encouraging to read. My favorite was I Hope, where he talked about the things he is wishing for his son to experience while in school. I think its important for every parent to take part in there child's education. His discussion about if fish were ideas was important because many people do not look as twitter as that important type of communication. I think its important for teachers to share ideas to help build each teachers teaching ability. As a future educator I would love to learn first from someone who is passionate about there job. Learn how to deal with certain situations.

Comments for teachers week 10 and 12

My comments for teachers was very interesting. I was able to meet Bill Ferriter The tempered radical. It was very entertaining especially his post on the mother who adopted the baby and sent him back to Russia. I completely understood where he was coming from she was completely wrong for that. He post entitled real men read was a great one. I completely agree Duke had no business winning the national championship. This was the best comments for teachers a great man.

Comments for kids week 14

I really enjoyed looking at Gracie's blog. She is very creative she is actually using vocarro herself. She enjoys the Olympics and got to even meet her blogging buddy. I think that is a great idea to actually let the kids know that there is someone out there reading there work.

Blog Post 13

I have learned in this class to be creative and accept change. During my time here in edm 310 I have learned to be more creative to step outside the box from the normal things that come easy to me to being able to use my brain and come up with some creative things. They have been times where I wanted to do something easy and be done. But now I know to step outside the box and take the time out to create something nice that I can be proud of. I think change is something each teacher should come to agreement with because the world isn't the same. Technology and the way the world is operated is different. Kids need new structure to be able to become successful, in this class everyone is able to become familiar with other forms of technology and personally it has made me better person. I think I will stick to blogging as a way of expressing myself. Use audacity of many projects. This class keeps you busy but is very beneficial. My question to you are you ready to be creative and willing to accept change.

April 11 th Blog assignment

I think its important for teachers to let there kids post there work. Because it gives kids some positive exposure to the internet. I think the PS 22 was a great if not the best thing I have seen kids do in awhile. Those kids each and everyone was singing there hearts out to such a positive song. You can tell that the teacher really got the kids to listen and believe in what she was teaching them. The PS 22 is a great example for kids to use to post work, another would be using blogs to let kids have there freedom to express themselves. I think it will improve kids reading and writing abilities. I really enjoy using audacity because you can do various things with it. I think its important to not be a zax I would love for teachers to get out there comfort zone and just like students try learning something new. I think if you can break those bad habits or routines it can be beneficial. As a future educator I think its important to take what we learn in this class and apply it because you can help build these kids dreams.

Comments for kids week 13

Well one of my favorite things to do in my free time is bowling also. I must admit I wasnt very good at all when I started but I have improved a little bit. Might even go this weekend.

Comments for kids week 12

I really my comments for kids. I really like the art work. The level of creativity was pretty unique. The male lion by Maurice was my favorite.

Comments for kids week 10

My comments for kids was a little different this time was about faces. When you post a face they turn, it was weird yet nice to view.

Comments for kids week 9

My comments for kids was very unique I enjoyed looking at the appleby tryathlon. It would be alot fun to participate in. The pictures look great.

My EDM 310 questionaire

Please fill out let me know your true feelings.

Comments for teachers week 7,8,9

In my comments for teachers I came across Ms. Shelly Terrell. I think she is a wonderful teacher who cares deeply about her kids. When reading her blog she stated that having a mustard seed of faith could move mountains. I totally agree with her if you can get a person to believe in what they are doing and has that support system anything is possible. She has a winning attitude and is there to help support her students.
She also gives teacher good sites to visit that are very helpful. Like myself I joined twitter and thought it was a complete waste of time. But she mention that she uses it to chat with other educators. She has some great videos and pictures on her page to view. I came across toondo which lets you create cartoons and I think it was a pretty cool idea.

Project 6 Skype

During my time in edm 310 I was introduced to skype which is a very impressive tool to communicate. I use it to communicate with classmates on projects. I have used it to communicate with family in other states. I think skype is a tool that can be used in every classroom. Each teacher can communicate with other schools.

Blog Post Assignment 11

This blog assignment was different but very rewarding. I think each post that was viewed was a great way to show other teachers how to reach out. I think its important as teachers if were really going to prepare our students to be able to use the technological teachings of today were going to have to become comfortable and all be willing to integrate it. I feel that no matter what small or big town you come from, the educational tools are available for each and everyone.
Kaia being only three and has done a photo essay already is wonderful. I think its nice how her father took the time to actually go out and let her take pictures as a way of expressing the way she viewed the desert. Many parents wouldn't even do this such thing with a child at that age. I don't know many parents who are interacting this much technologically with a three year old, especially when she mention how her dad was showing her even though somethings seem ugly at first there so beautiful within. For me this lesson just shows that its never to early to learn or become technologically literate. I wish we had the opportunity as younger students to do blogs or podcasts. I see the growth in technology in education but yet see the growth of a teacher in my state or city actually using these tools.

Blog Post Assignment 10

Well In some ways I have to agree with Dan Brown and Morgan Bayda and others I disagree. In today's education things are different at each and every university. You have some professors who may give you that 110% every class session and others who may let the things in there life effect there day and most importantly my education. As a future educator the most important goal is to not only teach but inspire them to always reach and go after there goals in life. I agree that education is still stuck in the past years and it needs improvement. I am also so tired of sitting in these 3 hour lectures to be absolutely bored and to see a teacher look lost. The most frustrating part each semester is buying these expensive books that we never ever ever ever use. Especially when teachers say it's a requirement to purchase the book. I think some educators have there own way of teaching and once they establish it, they never really go back and change there style of teaching.
Many people I have spoken too feel like going to class everyday and passing tests only prepares you a little bit. Most people learn better when working on the job. But as students we often criticize teachers but could we actually do a better job? I think Dan Brown was a good thing for him because he felt as if he wasn't receiving the proper education he needed. School isn't for everyone each person should find something that there passionate about and follow it.
