The Last Lecture

A beautiful vacation resort that has blue skies with white relaxing clouds softly scretched across the sky that meets turquoise water and a has a dock that extends over the water with writing on the dock that reads enjoy life.
Daily Motivation

This lecture not only motivated me but inspired my way of thinking. I thought it would be hard to look past the elephant in the room to see what Randy was trying to say but he is a dynamic speaker and I started feeling more sorry for myself than for him. This man lived his life to the fullest and taken advantage of every opportunity given to him. I should be so blessed to achieve the things he has in my lifetime.

The "Brick wall" analogy was my favorite. So many things can try to come against you to make you doubt yourself and make you want to give up on you dream but you have to keep you eyes on you goal and never let failure scare you out of doing what you love. We were never meant to fail I believe God's Divine purpose for us was to succeed and be more that conquers.

Every since I was a child I have wanted to be a teacher. I used old workbooks and taught my dolls and even visualized myself in front of the classroom. High School was not the best experience for me and I was just so happy to graduate I convinced myself that I could not make it another fours years in school.I know that I can reach goals in my life that I want to accomplish, the only person standing in my way is me. I tell my daughter she can do great things in this world if she gives her all and does her best. I am so glad that I followed my heart and decided to go back to school and become a teacher.

Another point that Randy brought out that I really enjoyed was out was do not think about yourself, do things to help other people. I am so blessed to be able to have the chance to reach so many young people and give them the chance to do more with their life than they may see possible. The potential that is in all of us is to help others reach their goals.

Can Wiki Be Trusted?

Wikipedia is a popular, pop culture site that if you are in your teens you may feel is a reliable source, as a college student you should know better. This source can be trusted to some extent but information should always be backed up by two or three other reliable sources. The information is quick and accessible and the the fact that the information can be changed is a thing of the past. New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

See You Later

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
