Peer Editing
Peer Editing is a great way we as future teachers can teach and learn from each other.When I was in middle school we always checked papers and learned from it ,because we wanted a better grade so we wouldn't be embarrassed. I think that staying positive and giving compliments will help the writers confidence , as far as re-writing a good paper. It is motivational for your peers to be able to help you and you help them. I think of it as "free learning" which is what me as a poor college student needs.
There are three steps to peer editing compliments,suggestions, and corrections.Compliments eases the way they receive the critiques.Suggestions give them a better way to view and speak about the subject. Corrections help them have a more successful paper. The peer review mistakes were very funny,kids can be very cruel on how they deliver the message. All those scenarios were something I have encountered over the years.
The Mountbatton Braillewriter
The braillewriter is an awesome machine for the blind.I think this machine is amazing to have in a classroom. It can teach you to read and write braille.I would definitely use this machine in my future classroom.I think it would make students more well-rounded concerning reading.This also will make blind people more comfortable in a class setting.
Assistive Technologies
There are so many different technologies in the world for blind people.It is so many ways to teach blind people different skills and subjects.When I watched the video ,"teaching math to the blind" I thought it was an amazing technique and people with vision can also learn the same thing. Blind people can do so much more now than twenty years ago and this shows us how fast technology is moving. I would love to learn braille so I would be able to communicate with blind students.
The ipad is another great computerized object that helps the blind with learning.The ipad is great for blind people because it is voice activated.The ipad is operated by a voice telling them how to operate and gives information and instructions about the applications.I think parents do need to know how to operate the ipad that the child uses,so they can keep up with whats going on.
Digital Smarts
The video "Harness your students,digital smarts" by author Vicki Davis can be found on YouTube. Vicki Davis does the coolcat teacher blog.She teaches her class how to learn new software. While she teaches the kids about software she is constantly learning more about it herself.She also taught them to be comfortable with technology so they can get use to being on computers.
As teachers we have to understand that every child learns different and we should figure out what works for each child.Vicki Davis also wanted her kids to be empowered to share with one another.As technology change we have to change with it in order to stay up to date.In my future class I will ensure that me and my students are current on digital software.

Blog Assignment #2
Did You Know?
Did You Know?is a video revised in September 2012 by John Strange,based on the Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod version.This video can be found under, "Did You Know? 3.0 A John Strange version".Did you know some of this?,India has more people with high IQ's than people in the United States.I thought this was very interesting,soon more people in China will be speaking English than the entire population of the United States.In August 2011 we found out every minute 48 hours of video are added to the You Tube collection.Google searches increased in one year,11 million text messages in one minute is outrageous.Over 90% of 8-18 year old own computers,100% EDM310 students own cell phones.
This video has taught me alot as far as how rapid technology is moving in the world today.I will enjoy teaching these different technologies to my future students,that will start the base and they can build on it and learn while i learn the new technologies that are not yet invented.Every year something new is invented and it will only move faster and as a future teacher it is my job to learn and keep up so me or my students wont be left behind.Technology is and will be the basis of learning.
Mr Winkle Wakes
"Mr Winkle Wakes" is the title of the video written by,author Mathew Needleman.This link can be found on Create Lifelonglearners.In this video Mr. Winkle went to sleep and woke up from his nap 100 years later ,he found out everything had changed.We have come a long way in these past 100 years technology plays a very important role in the lives of people today.Mr.Winkle tried to process alot in a small amount of time,which is very overwhelming.
Some of us are alot like Mr.Winkle we have been sleep in our head and not changing with the world 'stuck in our old ways' and we are kinda lost with time.It is time that I start changing with the world and learning more about all these new technologies.All the people that don't wish to learn will have to use whether they want to or not.
Importance Of Creativity
Creativity is a big part of a teachers life because that's how they figure out how to teach kids so they want to learn.This video by Sir Ken Robinson called,"Schools Kill Creativity",found under TEDS link.I learned that creativity is as important as literacy. Many times we as adults are scared of being wrong,when kids are not.That is because we are educated out of it.Being wrong or answering the question wrong helps us learn what is right when we are corrected.
Sir Ken Robinson also taught me that Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have values.Intelligence has three parts diverse,dynamic and distinct.I think those three words speak for themselves.You should use the gift of imagination wisely.As teachers we should educate kids whole being so they can face the future and make something of it. I really liked this video because he was plain and simple where we can understand creativity and the importance.
Thoughts And Reactions
My thoughts on Mr. Winkle video are that we need to change with time.If we don't change with time we will be left behind like he was on the video.As we saw in the hospitals they had more machines to help you breathe if we didn't have that alot more people would not be living today.Also, we saw in the office building people talking to each other on computers and new machines for faxing and calling.
We also saw in the classroom where he was most comfortable not all those machines the teacher was doing a lecture.There was a dusty computer in the back,which shows you we have the power to teach the kids about technology before the go into the real world.
Pinterest
In the 4 ways teachers use this program I would use some of these ideas mainly lesson plans and organization.I would use the organization ideas because it will keep the classroom neater and all the students will know where to place it after they are done using it.
20 best Pinterest Boards The board I would choose is Rachel Friedrich.This board looks fun to follow and also effective because music is fun and songs are easier for most kids to remember.Reading Rainbow is a great example of this method.Kids also play popular games that deal with learning.There were so many games and videos to choose from but,one stuck out imparticular a rap video about the elements of reading and writing a story.I think this board is best for me to follow.
Pinterest is Useful I think that pinterest is very useful for the classroom.There are so many ideas out there all we have to do is look .These ideas are out there to make teaching easier and learning better.I think that my future students will love it because they will be more hands-on.

Blog Assignment #1
About Me I am a second semester senior at the University of South Alabama. I have lived in Mobile most of my life, and graduated in 2001 from C.F. Vigor High. In 2002 I left my hometown to go to Montgomery, AL to start on my degree in education which was very exciting because I finally felt like an adult. I really enjoyed myself partying,drinking,and staying out late. I had an opportunity to go to school and finish, but instead I abused it and did not finish.In 2008 my mom got really sick so I decided to move back home to help take care of her. I have two other siblings a sister and a brother, two nephews and one niece whom I adore.
I have been a server at Longhorn for close to five years,I decided last year to go back to school and finish. I now have an eight month old daughter and her father and I are raising her together and we are teaching her to be more responsible. I am also passionate about singing, it helps me stay calm even when I'm mad or upset. I have made plenty of mistakes in life that was worth learning from and that's what keeps me going. I went to the Bahamas last year which was my first time out of the country and I truly enjoyed myself. Lastly, I will work harder to have a degree so I can do more things like that and be a great example for my daughter .
My Future Classroom In my future classroom which would be elementary I will be a caring,focused,and helpful teacher. I will use tons of teaching methods especially hands on and visuals. My teaching methods will be: lectures,class discussion,maps,globes, field trips,and educational films. I want to keep my class lively and I want my students to learn.I will have computer technology that will be used but not all the time because being hands on helps what they learn stick to the brain.
My students will learn at a very high level as much as possible.I will keep them involved so they can stay focused. I will ask them what tools do they feel most comfortable with so I can relate to whats easier for them. I want my students to be excited and pumped about learning,also I want them to know how important it is to get an education.
My students will have plenty of learning tools such as computers,maps,textbooks and much more.I feel that tools are a big part of learning because they can refer back to these things so they will never forget. Technology will be a really big part of my learning tools because it is changing everyday and it will hold the most and recent information. I love reading so there will be a lot of reading out loud in my class so everyone can get a chance to participate.
My elementary classroom will be very colorful with learning information around them at all times.I will have different stations setup for them to work in so they won't be in one spot at all times. I will also have pictures and maps up so they can always have visuals to look at. My class will be very fun and interesting and I want my students to want to come to school.
Randy Pausch on Time Management
Dr.Pausch is the professor who wrote ''Last Lecture'' which was about goals, priorities, and planning.He talked about doing the right thing adequately and don't do the wrong things beautifully which made perfect sense. Experience comes with time, basically learn from your mistake learn while it's bad so it can go good.He also said,"failing to plan is planning to fail".
I learned that if I make a to-do list and break things down into small steps i wont forget anything. Next, do the ugliest or biggest thing first and get it out of the way. Dr.Pausch had pancreatic cancer he had tumors in his liver, even though he was very much in shape he had no control of the sickness.He knew he was about to die so he was able to prepare himself and his family for this hard time.He died at the age of 48 at his home surrounded with his close family.
