A Summary of My Adventures

A dolphin jumping into the air out of the water behind the dolphin there is a beautiful sunset. There are so many wonderful experiences I will take away from this semester. I have learned and grown so much and I am very grateful for each experience. I have discovered a whole new world of blogging and how it can allow you to share and exchange thoughts and feeling. I was able to create and maintain an IGoogle page and learn all the benefits that is has for my classroom. Starting my PLN was so beneficial because we need each other to survive in this world. The thought of teachers having sources to rely and depend on is phenomenal. Itunes is a tremendous bonus. I have an Itunes account and did not even know about all the free features for me and my students.

Being able to reach out and comment on the children's blogs was fun. Children have fresh young minds that are full of great adventure. My professional blog is so nice I am proud of it the most. I like the fact I started and completed all my projects. The podcast and presentation was a awesome experience and I had two of the best teams to work with. Reading other educators blogs and watching the videos on different topics taught me so much about the world of teaching and that it is OK to be scared and I will make mistakes but as long as I remember that the my students need me I can stay focused and make a difference.

I can not forgot the one person whose patience and guidance got me through this class, Ms Averitt. The excel project almost got the best of me but I have wonderful classmates that helped me and pulled me through. There is not enough room on this post to share all that is on my heart I do have room to say THANK YOU!!!

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

Image
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.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

No,No,No, there is no way to be an effective teacher and not be technologically savvy. I do not think that is the only way to reach a student, but it is a big part of reaching today's student. We do not live in a pencil and paper only society, students are doing and learning things online less positive than they should be exposed to and it is up to us to teach them ways to take a computer and further their education. I do not know of any teacher that has not advanced with the times and accepted computers as a positive way to instruct and reinforce what they are teaching. Every job requires technological skills and if we are grooming the futures work force environment we have to give the every chance we to be competitive in the workforce. School is the foundation for good success and the success includes computer knowledge on every level.
