Dear Kaia

A small soft brown kitten.
I was very moved by the story and love of a father for his daughter. The positive response was awesome and even though I can understand his concern for his daughter's safety, it seems that so far everyone who has shared in this experience has respected her and she was given courtesy with each response. I think this is wonderful for Kaia to have when she grows up, and can see and understand the international effect her life had on other students.


As much as I loved the blog I did not like the voice thread. I did not like the pauses in between each statement and I think for her being a little girl she would have followed a short video rather that the individual comments on the voice thread. Also the voices reminded me of the movies when someone has kidnapped a child and wants a ransom. I just did not feel warm and fuzzy like I felt as I read the blog.

    Actually, your analysis of our voicethread is interesting. My idea was for it to be like a book that Jabiz reads to Kaia. The pauses and changing of pictures were representative of flipping the page (in my mind anyway.)

    I can see how you might not like the video if it reminds you of child kidnappings!

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
