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.

Look at these sentences. How many do not have a space between them? How many end with a comma rather than a period? How many should start with a capital letter but do not? Far too many And there is also one I that is not capitalized. Even more: so I (not me)
    or my students won't (not wont).

    You misunderstood the comparative data on China, India and the United States. India has four times the population of the United States and China has five times the population of America, This means that the size of the population leads to the large numbers of "honor students" or English speakers when India or China are compared to the United States. You could also say that the 20 % of the population in China with the largest ears (or 25% of the population with the largest ears in India) outnumbers all of the people with ears of any size in the United States.

    I am beginning to think your computer does not have a space key on it. I bet it is there. You must learn to use it! All commas must be followed by a space and all sentences must be separated by a space. This problem is also a serious problem in your Blog Post #1.

    I think it would be wise for you to make an appointment with the Writing Center in Alpha East. You need help with your writing.

  2. Warnetta, your post has great potential but your grammar and lack of proper punctuation were huge obstacles while I was reading. I'm very paranoid about my grammar and usual send a copy of my blog post to a friend before I submit them for class. It may help to have someone besides you read over your posts before you submit them.
