Final Report on PLN

In this world of technology you have to have an effective PLN. I chose to use symbaloo, I don't know why, I just did, but I am glad I did. Goggle Chrome is cool it keep records of the most use sites for you on your computer.However with symbaloo, you can use it anywhere, you just have to sign in to your account. Symbaloo also allows you to organize all your most use sites on one page. This class is constant and sometimes a little too much, but I have to give credit to Dr.strange the information I have learned in this class I will probable use for the rest of my life.

My teacher wrote a blog on how advancing technology doesn't advance students. I replied, I agree with her statement. If the content or the message is not clear, no matter how much you advance the technology, it will still be ineffective.
My teacher wrote a blog on how she used Skype to stay in touch with student and teachers. I comment on her blog how I used Skype. I did a basketball  camp, and my special guest could not make it to the camp, so we used Skype to still have his presence at the camp.

My teacher wrote a blog tilted" please don't become a teacher". In her blog she talked about reasons why you shouldn't become a teacher. She says if one is not serious about teaching her/she shouldn't do it. Teaching requires effort and perseverance, and if you do not have these attributes your job as a teacher will become miserable. My comment to her was , I enjoyed reading her post for the last couple of weeks. I can tell she really writes from the heart and I am passionate about teaching the way she is.

This was a very difficult assignment, but however I made it through. The hardest part of this assignment was the thought of it. I thought the process would be impossible, because I have a family, but my fiance was very understanding through the process. The day I chose to go without electronics was I day I had to substitute teach and go straight to my other job. I had to be at Clark middle school at 7:00 am. This part was kind of a breeze because I was teaching all day. After school was out I rushed home to take a shower and to prepare myself for my regular job. This was the hard part, because I was tired and really wanted to talk to my fiance. I got to my other job by 3:00pm and haven't talk to my family all day.Like I said before the hardest part about this assignment was the thought of it. I left work around 11:00pm and I was tired and ready to go home and pass out. Going without electronics wasn't that difficult it was the thought of it. I had a long day and it was difficult to get through without hearing from my family.

Blog Post #12

As a P.E. educator you will be a coach if you are on the secondary level. Watch this video and write two or more paragraphs about how this will motivate your players for a game.Then explain how you would inspire your kids and how can they use these methods in normal life situations.
Inspiration is an effective method to keep kids motivated. This video deals with training ,physical training that is, but not only physical training but training of the mind. The mind may as well be the most important organ in the human body.Without it the body is ineffective, if students can learn to train their mind at a young age then success can come early. Inspiration is also a great tool for teaching. Majority of college students enroll in school with the intentions of receiving some extrinsic reward. The reward is what keeps us pushing, because school is not something you just do for fun.
There are many ways you can inspire your students: movies, music, speeches, and testimonies from great people.Almost all great things come from inspiration. As an educator, try to inspire your students instead of telling them what they are doing wrong. They are so many kids who skip school or drop out and choose not to come.So the ones that are there try to encourage them..

Progress on final report

Me and my team are working on a video that will include a lot of things we covered over the period of this class. We plan on using  a green screen and different techniques that we learned in class. We are looking forward to letting the class see what we put together.

The student blog a posted on was a kid who went to the Polyfest. The blog they recorded was very low in volume and I could not hear a single word he said. I just stated that not all kids his age have accomplished what he have accomplished, and encouraged him to keep up the good work.

C4k Summary

Week 1- The student I responded to wrote a blog about she did not like bullies. I responded, that I do not like bullies either.However, they are still someone's child. For the most part bullies are people who are seeking for attention,and that they need to be love too.
Week 2-I responded to another blog where she wrote about being different. The poem had something to do with her being black, so I do not know if there were any racial problems there are not. I just responded we are all create equal yet we have our differences. It is a good thing to be different in certain ways. Being different is what makes us unique.
Week3 - My student only had two posts

BLOG ASSIGNMENT #11

E KIDS-The kids today are so much far advanced then we were coming up. Technology has really enabled these little kids to expand their thinking. i am just learning how to blog as a college student and there are at that age. That is amazing to me.
Ms. Cassidy- I like how she went to the federal government for help. I like how she use her kids from the previous year as well as the current students for videos and pictures. I like how she is the one who is mostly responsible for her work, but like she said she had a lot of support.  I would take the same approach as she took if I felt passionate about a subject. It amazes me how she did all this with 1st grades, but like she said they love it.

C4K ASSIGNMENT # 5

The student I responded to wrote a poem about his brother on  how annoying he is. I responded, I have five brothers so I know exactly what you mean, but I have to remind myself about the importance of  family.

BLOG ASSIGNMENT #10

EDUCATOR OR TEACHER?- The struggle inspired me to become an educator. There are many people that are trap in the struggle. Most are trap because the lack of knowledge. I was taught but not educated. Everyone will not be an educator, it will not happen. To be an educator you have to be willing to go beyond the limits. You must first have compassion, without that you can not be an educator.Educators risk their moral image to reach people, but never lose their character nor integrity. An educator understands what its like not to understand. An educator knows what it is like not to know.An educator meets the needs of people where they are.An educator does not have to use fancy words to impress people, but instead, uses the words that help.One more thing, an educator doesn't always have a college degree. I wanna be an educator because an educator helped me.

DON'T LET THEM TAKE PENCILS HOME!-I like how he tried to find a solution to the problem. I substituted at one of the toughest schools in mobile county.Most of the teachers are tired and believe me they have a very good reason to be.Not all, but for the most part, the teachers are just going through the motions.When I was there I tried to find a solution to the problem. That's make the difference as a teacher or educator. That is the motivation to keep pushing.

Blog assignment #9

2009-I really can relate to this blog. I am a substitute teacher and I did not know what to expect. The training classes we had to take are different from  the classroom setting. I tried to be too nice at times and tried to be too mean at times. When I relaxed and listened to the students it was easier to communicate with them. I agree communication means everything, without it, it becomes very hard to teach.

2011-People who have a purpose for change have joy about new ideas for change. People who don't have a purpose just go through the motions. People who have purpose normally stand out, that is why people with purpose are different. I am use to being the outcast, and I love it. Being the outcast allows me to do the unexpected.He is right promotion is outside of your comfort zone. Any time I feel like I am comfortable I do something I am afraid to do. That lets me know I am growing.
