Podcast

For our podcast we created a movie that showed what the world would be like if technology lost its patience with us and left. To watch the movieClick Here.

Two Most Important Things!!


One of my choices for the most important would be from New Classroom Rules. I like the idea of not just going to class but going online in your own home to attend class. I think this is important because its shows how technology is moving at a rapid pace. I think the idea of just logging on at home gives you so many opportunities to do research and spend the time needed to make your assignments worth while.
My other choice of the most important is from the list Seven Stupid Mistakes. The thought that online communication is private is STUPID. As a teacher you need to know that everything on the Internet you do can be traced back to you. As children are on the Internet we need to make sure they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do to keep them safe from any predators.

At the Teacher's Desk!


As I began to explore At the Teachers Desk, I pondered the question was is something like this important. As future educators we need a place to go and read issues that teachers are having in their classrooms. I think it is very important to blog about issues you are having so you can share your thoughts with other teachers as well. As I read many of the post I seen that many of them were about technology. Technology is one of the scary words in a teachers vocabulary in my opinion. So being able to share your thoughts and ideas with other teachers can be a big benefit. I don't think there is anything unimportant about a collaborative blog.

The Future of Whatever!!


Who can think about life as just " Whatever". In my life personally I never consider anything to be just whatever. If we cant have the attitude to strive harded and care about what we do, then how can we be teachers? We can not go day to day with a whatever attitude. The internet allows us to do so much and we dont even think about it. As I consider my future I keep reminding myself that the word whatever will not be an option. Go make a difference and break from day to day rituals and get out of the Whatever world.To View the MovieClick Here

Importance of Posting Work

The children in the video singing "landslide" was amazing. Children are a wonderful gift from god. As teachers we need to post their work every chance we get. Children can do amazing things if given the chance. Parents who work for a living need the chance to get online and view their childs work. The posting of work lets them see what goes on in the classroom. Blogging is a good way to keep the parents in touch with things in the room as well as out.
