I liked the tone and the sarcasm, in Dr. McLeod's "Don't teach your kids this stuff. Please?" post. I Googled Dr. McLeod, and found he is the co-creator of the Did You Know? videos, which is interesting. Dr. McLeod wants us to look at things from a different point of view. His post was enlightening, and sarcastic, which I can always appreciate. I understand that Dr. McLeod is saying go ahead and keep your child using pens and paper, mine will be ahead in 10 years, and I agree that his will be ahead in ten years, I just hope that with his blogs he his trying to persuade others to feel the way he does about technology.
I like that he is showing the good and bad aspects of technology in his post, and yes there are bad things on the internet, but if the parents are going to come into my classroom and tell me my students are too young to blog, then they should put a filter on their computers like there is a filter on the school computers. And furthermore, they should become at least a little bit educated on what exactly is "good" and "bad", and what I am actually doing with my students on the internet.
There are many innovative things on the internet that can help a student learn and learn on their own, which should be a goal of teachers everywhere. Pertaining to the bit about students writing online, I believe students everywhere and everyone else will be writing only online in 20 or 30 years, so why not go ahead and know how? The whole world is working on going green, and writing online instead of on paper is part of that I believe. Technology is only going to keep advancing. All of these parents, my own mother included, that are thinking technology is a waste of time and computers should never have been invented, need to jump on the wagon and start learning something, or be left behind.
The iSchool initiative video was wonderful and all, but the idea didn't sell me. What happened to one on one teaching, and teacher student relationships? With the iSchool, teachers won't be able to connect with students and build relationships with them. To me, that is a big part of going to school, teachers can help you grow and form as a person. Also, every student would have to buy the iTouch, which is the size of a cell phone. How does one honestly expect a student in grade school to keep up with that? If a student had the iSchool, everything they needed pertaining to school will be on this little device, so if they were to lose it, they would be lost in all subjects, and EVERYTHING to do with school. Then their parents would have to buy them another one. To parents $150 is expensive, especially if they had to buy another one if it was lost. Many parents today would barley even be able to afford the $150 at all.
I like the idea of using the iTouch as a learning tool if the student were to have one, but not as something that is key to class. Yes budgets are being cut, but that is something that is a larger problem on a more macro scale. We have to appeal to the state and federal government to fix that problem. The iSchool is a good idea, but I believe it would crumble in a few years, or be replaced with something better.
I LOVE the Lost Generation video technique! It lists all the bad, and then list the good, if we as a society were to change things. All of the things she mentioned are very likely to come true if we don't change things, which I like because it shows she is not just making things up. What she is doing with the technique is creative and symbolic. All of these things can happen, but if we change them, they will be reversed.
I think Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir is quite amazing!! I saw this on the news this summer and it moved me then. I hadn't taken this class yet this summer so then I was just thinking that the choir was a cool way to do things. Now looking at it again it is just spectacular. Singers everywhere can sing with people from all over and match in perfect harmony. This is something that singers would have laughed at 50 years ago. Now someone with a unique voice can find someone half way across the world to harmonize with, something they never would have gotten the chance for before. This video definitely portrays how much we can do with technology. In a few years, we will be able to do virtually anything!

Additional Assignment #1
Google Squared develops something like a spreadsheet, so students can look up a topic, and get categories related to the topic, all out in front of them. I looked up football national champions, and it gave me not only the champions, but a description, a picture, and their birthday. Students can look up virtually anything, and modify it to their choice. I was so shocked looking at this new information I had never seen before! I will use this piece of technology with my students because they can easily look up countries, like Dr. Strange did, and have all the information they will need on one page. They can change the countries to their desire, and have all the information they need readily available to them without having to search various websites for other information on the country, like currency. This will help my students find information they need fast, instead of browsing the internet for hours looking for certain things.
Wolfram Alpha is fun because students can look up the definition of a word, or the number or people in a city. Students can find answers to multiple questions on this page without having to go to another site. They can look up examples for harder math problems, to figuring out what time it is in Australia. In the future, if a student asks me a question and I want them to find it on their own, one of the sites they can browse is Wolfram Alpha. I would recommend this website to students of all ages, it is really remarkable!
I absolutely had no idea about Google Squared or Wolfram Alpha before this assignment, but I'm glad I do now!
When I read Did You Know? 3.0, I was overwhelmed almost by all of those numbers, but the information that stood out to me, was the information about China and India having more honor roll students, and more people knowing English. After I was how the population differences change the statistics, I felt America was a little less uneducated then people assume. I still hold on to the point that America should still push their selves to be better anyways. There is nothing wrong with trying to achieve greatness, and Americas school systems lack the effort.
I learned from this exercise that statistics are meant for shock value. Everyone hears crazy statistics everyday, and most of the time no one thinks to look them up and see where they are derived from. Using Google Spread, and Wolfram Alpha you can look up almost anything to see if what it says, and I think this is something I can show my students, or anyone, so they can look up crazy things they hear and see if its true or not. Perhaps this is showing my students and peers a little bit of independent learning, and theres nothing wrong with that.
The "Stable Boy and the iPad" article just goes to show, young minds like that boys can some things as quickly as any college graduate.

Blog Post Assignment 3
Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today
The video was interesting in a way that it showed things we already knew, but all in a five minute time frame. I spent $188 on my books this year, and if I would have went to the universities book store at school , I would have spent about $400. Yes, some books are $100 a piece like the video showed, but there are other ways of procuring these books in a cheaper way. You can rent the books, or buy them on Amazon for way cheaper then what they are in the book store, so I think the video may have over reacted about the books. In college you learn with time how to make certain things last longer, or certain things cheaper. Whether the books are opened when you get them, is a different story. At least half of the teachers I have had have given you all the information in your notes, so you end up not having to have to book anyways!
I think the video did appropriately describe how we college students have to manage our time. The girl that held the sign saying she gets to sleep 7 hours a night sure is a lucky one! It seems like we never have enough time to get everything done, especially if you work almost full time like I do. The movie did a good job of showing someone what is like to be in college if they have never been there, but I would have added how much the average college student parties on a daily or weekly basis. Most college students are experiencing their first taste of freedom, and many of them are listening to that 2.5 hours of music everyday when they are at a party!
"Its Not About the Technology" by Kelly Hines
I think the point Mrs. Hines is making here is teachers have to be learners, and if the teacher in question is not a learner, they will have a classroom of the past and not the future. I think the teachers that are taught to be learners today, are the teachers that are in college now. I can't tell you how many teachers I noticed in high school that knew that since they had their tenure, or their degree, they wouldn't be pushed into giving more then they had to. Maybe it because I knew I wanted to be a teacher at a young age, but I always evaluated my teachers, how they taught, and their attitude. Simply going to workshops isn't enough, you have to learn things independently and care about your students as individuals. I really liked when Mrs. Hines mentioned you have to know where your students come from. That doesn't have to be some big task where you find out your students histories, it can be something like getting to know them and how each of them like to learn. I think it can be one of the great joys of teaching your students. Everyone has a few teachers that stood out to them in high school, and shouldn't we want to be that teacher?
I mentioned smartboards in my blogs before, and Mrs. Hines mentions it in hers. Mrs. Hines and I are on the same page about these smartboards. They are completely amazing, but I can see why a school board would not want to spend $5000 on something that will never be used. Maybe the school board should just ask the teachers if they will be used in their classroom before installing them. But would that solve the problem of them being used correctly? In her part about the smartboard she says, "It is not about on the board. It is about the proper training and mindset of a teacher who is already willing and eager to do amazing things." I think that teacher is the teacher we are training now to be in EDM 310. This class is meant to teach us about technology, and to make us excited about learning new technology in the future. Maybe not all students come out of EDM 310 with that mindset Mrs. Hines speaks of, but I plan to!
Karl Fisch: Is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?
Is it okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher? Of course not! If generations to come have to be technologically literate to obtain a job, and we are shaping the minds of generations to come, then it is our responsibility to know about technology. Why is it so hard for teachers to get their mind around the idea? It is fairly obvious teachers do not choose their career for the pay, and I highly doubt it is to have their summer months off as well, because they will still have to deal with children all day, and that is NOT everyone's forte. So teachers should choose to teach because they are PASSIONATE about it. Don't people in general try to learn everything they possibly can about something they are passionate about? So whats the problem? Maybe teachers are somewhat resentful towards the system for a certain number of things, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to do their job to the fullest.
Karl Fisch's colleagues get angry at his posts because they know what he is speaking is the truth. Everything he makes in his post is valid. The standard he speaks of where people think it is okay that they never were good at math is a sad one. Where in time did it become okay to say I wasn't good at math, but it not be okay to say I wasn't good at reading? These two subjects are things that will always be imperative to learning, and being a well rounded individual. What happened? It seems to me that all we can do, is do the best we can in our own classroom, so that when we look at the students we taught over the years, we will have no regrets. We will know that we did the best we could with what we were given. With new things in technology being discovered everyday, we could be given so much.
Gary's Social Media Account
Wow these numbers change fast! I think that with so many new people using these things everyday, there will be more people to connect with when I am a teacher. Many of these things, like people sending Facebook gifts, and getting a Twitter account are just social explorations, but it just proves how the need to connect with others around the world is growing and becoming more important.
Just being on Gary's page for 5 minutes, 101 hours of YouTube has been downloaded. I wonder how many of those videos I could show my students when I am teaching them about DNA and other things. The idea excites me! If one of my students is a more visual learner, after I teach my lesson I can show them a video explaining my lesson further. 30 years ago, a student who was a visual learner would have possibly failed school. We have improved in that way, which is encouraging for future teachers like me to know.

Comments for Teachers #1
John Spencer, a teacher in Arizona, was the first teacher I was assigned to comment on. His blog, Adventures in Pencil Integration, is a very well written blog, and I admit, it intimidated me to read his stuff. I may like to read, but I never admitted to being a talented writer. The first blog I commented on, The Enemy Isn't A Person, was about how John realized after speaking to his wife, blaming one person for problems at work, doesn't solve things. He said, the enemy is not just one particular person, but the ones who says we have to be the best at any certain thing, including education. I commented on his blog agreeing with what he had to say. We cannot point the blame at one person, the enemy is whoever says we have to be a certain way and learn a certain way. In that case, is the enemy society? In life we are so quick to judge things, and place blame on people. His blog post really made me think about who the enemies could be in our day to day life. In order to make change in things we don't agree with in our lives, we have to make a movement to change things ourselves first. You are the key to your success.
The second blog I commented on was Pencils, Progress, and Perfection. In the blog John told how a student told him "fuck off" in class one day, and he responded by screaming, and later crying and apologizing. When he got home, he was tucking his daughter into bed, as well as her doll. She got mad when her doll was not tucked in the right way, and had a temper tantrum that brought on screaming, crying, and hitting. He then started crying during his daughters episode, so she consoled him and told him she loved him anyways, and he told the same to her. What I got from this blog is that people often times think that teachers are invincible. Everyone is human and everyone has their imperfections, even the pencils John so often talks about in his blogs. I know when I was in school I for some reason thought my teachers were invincible. When a student sees a teacher affected by emotions like John did, they don't know how to react. I think this student John spoke of will look at teachers differently from now on. Maybe even with a respect he didn't have before.

Blog Post Assignment 2
The Did You Know? 3.0 video by Karl Fisch was a lot in information to take in, but interesting. The population of the world is growing more and more, along with a strong desire to know more information about anything and everything. The fact that by 2049, we will have a $1000 computer that has more brain compatibilty than all of humanity, may scare some of our our generation, but intrigue the next.
I think that the video taught me many statistics about the world today, but it was a bit scary to know all of those statistics in a little less than 5 minutes. Countries like China and India are pushing their children to be smarter and smarter, so shouldn't the United States be doing the same? Our country was not in the better half of these statistics. English is not the main Chinese language, but it is soon to be the number one English speaking country. Why is that? It is because so many other countries teach their children to be bilingual and in turn, more cultural and worldly. This fact made me think the most. Why can't our students be taught at a young age another language in school? I'm sure over half of the students in America cannot speak any other language. And if they do, they are from a family that is not primarily a English speaking family. What would it hurt for our students to learn a new language besides making public school systems budget a bit tighter?
The video, Mr. Winkle Wakes, by Matthew Needleman represented well how much things change over time, and how some things do not. Just in the past 100 years we have so many new and innovative things men and women get to use in the work place. I think I speak for others from this generation, when I say that printing things out fast, and using computers and the internet, is something that is already instilled in us from school and at home. Maybe we just take the technology that is so easily available to us for granted, but it is almost second nature these days to Google something, or print something out from class from the internet.
Mr. Winkle Wakes seems to tell us that over the past 100 years, everything has changed, except for schools. The message I got from the video is that if adults are using technology in their offices and hospitals, then it is imperative that the students learn the same technology as well. To me, the video is showing a world that is not only unrealistic, but off balance. Teachers are required to teach children how to properly use todays technology so they will be functional in society when they get jobs of their own someday. Thats why elementary schools have computer classes. Although the video to me, sent a good message, if Mr. Winkle really were to wake 100 years later, in my opinion, he would have seen a totally different classroom then the video showed.
The Importance of Creativity video opened up my eyes to how society forces us to do, and learn things a certain way. I really liked when Sir Robinson said, "We don't grow into creativity, we grow out." With education comes a downside. As educated adults we are already taught certain ways to learn and do things. When children wants to branch out, and explore their creativity in school they cannot because we we're already told to learn a certain way, and teach a certain way. Its not the teachers fault, they have requirements they have to fill as well. If a child wants to dance or learn to sing, it is obviously not that easy to just create a dance class in a public school. So is it up to the parents to enroll their child in dance class?
Not enough creativity in schools is just one of the many social problems the world has to deal with. Maybe as future teachers we can learn to modify the way we teach in order to bring out creativity in our students, but it is my belief that public schools will never just change their whole educational structure in order to benefit students, whether the change is good or not. Change is something that has to gradually occur over time. The video did however, make me want to protect whatever creativity my students do have. If a child wants to be a dancer, or an artist, then I can't shun them for their dreams.
Watching Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts made me wish a class like Ms. Vicki's had been available to me in high school. I think it is so wonderful that high school students can connect with people around the world, and broaden their knowledge of technology.
Not only did it seem these students were learning everything I am learning now in EDM 310, they enjoyed it. To them it didn't seem like regular school work. They didn't have to sit at a desk all day and write notes, so everything was new and interesting. One of the things I wished my teachers in public school had taught me early, was to think on my own. I am in my third year of college, and I am just now grasping how to be an independent thinker. These students have a new zest for learning, which I'm sure will lead to them doing well, and being prepared for college. Ms. Vicki also mentioned that she still met the required curriculum, but just modified it so her students would grasp things better. That is something I hope I will be able to accomplish when I am teaching. Showing ones students how to learn, and learn on their own is one of the most important things a teacher can teach.
