For my C4K #1 assignment, my student was Iisha S.In her most recent post, she's talking about a trip her and her family went to the national park during her Christmas break. I really like her most recent blog post because it was humorous and serious at the same time. In the first paragraph, her sister "threw up" on the train, and it ended up on a man, which is really gross because I dislike vomit, and it stinks really bad. I bet Iisha was getting sick to her stomach when this happened. In the second paragraph of her blog post, she talks about the fact of her looking at constellations instead of not going to the national park because the weather forecast people had predicted that were going to be possible flash flood. I like the fact that see was looking at constellations because I like looking at the stars. My family is just like her cousins she mentions in her third paragraph because they are annoying and crazy at most times.I really enjoyed reading Iisha's blog post.
For my C4K #2 assignment, I left a comment on Verona Gridley's class blog. On their most recent class blog, the students colored their drawings of dolphins over the sunsets. With their drawings, the students colored their drawings with crayon colors, such as orange and blue. I loved the colored drawings because I love dolphins, and the sunsets over the dolphins is just a breath-taking moment for me.
For my C4K #3 assignment, I left a comment on Zarah's Blog, which was on a story titled "7 Chairs". In my comment, I said the story is historical because the seven chairs belonged to the mayor of Ottawa.The mayor likes magic. Zarah figured the history of the seven chairs when he found the book based on the seven chairs.

1. In Don't Teach Your Kids This Stuff,I found it very sarcastic but in depth of what the real facts are. I really enjoyed reading your post.Your post got me thinking on the future education for children through technology. If taught by the educators correctly to the students, they will be able to understand the rights and wrongs of technology.A lot of what people do can be considered a risk, even walking down the block.Technology being a part of education can help better future opportunities.In most cases technology is a good thing,but in some cases, there are certain people that make it very dangerous.any companies have developed new software that makes the internet safer for children.along with software if the teachers and parents are more aware of the websties there children are visiting and who they are communicating with then chances are they will be safe also. I totally agree with keeping paper and pencil in the classrooms as well because I love the traditional way as well as the technology way.
2. In iSchool Initiative, I agree with the idea of using iSchool Apps, but children need to use the traditional schooling as well. The traditional schooling helps students with communicating with teachers and other students. In my opinion, I believe that iSchools can be used when a students is out sick. I also believe that traditional and iSchool Apps can be used together.
In ZeitgeistYoungMinds Entry, I believe that iSchool Initiative will make education better for future teachers as well students.
3. In Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir, I was amazed when I viewed the video. In the internet and technology worlds, anything and everything is possible to do no matter how close or how far you are from people. I love the vocals of the people and how they sing as one.
4. In Teaching in the 21st Cetury, I really liked the fact that the video discusses entertainment and engagement with various meanings. I believe that Ken Robinson believes that teaching is changing in many ways in which I cannot explain because the video confused me a little.If I may ask, "What are your opinions on this video?"
5. In Reading Rockets, I love the fact that this website has tools on how to teach reading and the strategies of teaching reading. The website has various resources that can help students with reading. The resources that would be valuagle to me are the video and podcasts, classroom strategies, the ABCs of teaching reading, and helping struggling readers. This website will benefit to me because I love to read.

Blog Post #4
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
This video interested me because I did not have knowledge of doing or using podcast.From this video, I learned that students that do not attend school on days that the students can look at their teachers' notes if the teacher does podcast. This video is very beneficial. Thanks for sharing this video, Joe Dale.
Judy Scharf Podcast Collection
Tihis website by Judy identifies what a podcast is, which I did not have a clue until i glanced at the definition. The website also has two links: one is a YouTube video on how to make a podcast using Audacity. What is Audacity? And the other other is link is an informational video from TeacherTube. I am overwhelmed on how many "Tube" sites they are over the worldwide web. Does anybody have an idea on how many "Tube" videos they are?

This website has information on 1st greaders making an Audiobook and a podcast. I love to see students using their minds to learn other things besides on video games. I am not saying that all video games are bad.This is an amazing website.

Blog Post #3
Peer Editing Video
The information in each video was very informational for me because now, I can become a better blogger than I was in the beginning of EDM310. I will take heed to this information by using the tips and the pointers to improve my blogging experience to the next level. One the first day of EDM310,I had random thoughts going on my mind, such as how am I going to in this class and will I make through this class.But now that I think about it,I'm going to great in EDM310 because there is a lot of support for students to make it through EDM310. Rumors from previous classmates about the teacher and the class were that the teacher is hard to deal with,which I hardly believe. Dr. Strange pushes his students to motivate them to become teachers is what I believe. He is a great.Even though I'm talking about EDM and its supporters, I believe that I have commented on the videos as well.I would like to thank Paige Ellis again for her video on peer editing.
Technology In Special Education
I enjoyed this video because it is true that special needs students can learn with technology the same way that regular students can.Also,having special needs students around a technologically classroom environment can help them exceed in class. Many regular students use technology the same way that the special needs students do in this video. I believe that special needs students need extra attention to understand what is being learned in class.There are even regular students that problems with learning. My youngest brother is a regular fifth grade student, but he has problems with paying attention in class, and he loses his focus when it comes to classwork and homework.What I'm trying is that regular students sometimes need extra attention even though special needs students have disorders. Technology affects special needs students by helping them improve their educational skills the same as regular students. If I had a class of special needs students, I would use technology by making a website for the class and put different assignments for them to do, such as classwork, homework, presentations, and quizzes.I like the fact that the teacher in the video made a website as well. In my opinion, technology for the special needs students is a sense of help for them.
How The Ipad Works With Academics For Autism
This video informed me how the Ipad works, and as well as how it helps autistic students how to improve academically. This video put me in a moving state of mind because Brayden accomplished many academic subjects, such as counting pictures and writing words. As Brayden was counting each picture and saying each word, I must say I almost cried when I saw the excitement in Brayden's eyes and voice. When I went to the apps for Ipad for education link, I clicked on one of the language arts apps, and the screen didn't show me the apps.What should I do?
Social Media
In the image on this page, I was amazed how the numbers automatically changed when something happens that is on the list. The top things I do on the "media counts" are watching YouTube videos, Facebook, and Twitter.I recently got the hang of using Twitter, which isn't as hard as I though. As I was on the website, I started to click on the various tabs on the "social media counts", and I realized that there are far more numbers than I thought. I have two words to say, "Wow and Amazing"!!! I would like to thank Gary for making this website to inform the U.S. about what is changing around the U.S.
A Vision of Students Today
Honestly, this video was something I already knew.So, that's my comment on the video.The video was informational,but bored at times.I got the point of the video,which is that teachers today are not using technology as much as the students intend them to.What do you think about comment? Do you agree or disagree, and why?

C4T #1 Summary
In David Hopkins most recent post, he talks about a conference he attended in Olympia on January 25 and January 26. On the post, I commented on the way the delegates at the conference were sharing and bringing their ideas together to find ways to make education more interesting for children. Also,I commented on the lego ducks, which were created by the delegates when Jacob Kragh (Lego Education President). I really liked his most recent blog because I love the fact that educators worldwide are coming together to education better for the future generation.The delegates talk about other things at the conference, but I did not understand the concept of the topics.
Basically,in his second most recent post,he's talking about the usage of apps on iphones and on laptops.On his blog, I posted on the difficulties I have with the useage of twitter, which is improving as I use it on a daily basis with EDM310.Other issues he talks about are the difficulties of using apps on different OS (operating systems).I left a comment on my usage of Google and Safari on a daily basis. He talks about iOS, which I do not know what it is. In confusion,I commented by asking the question, "Is an iOS a type of operating system?" I am guessing that an iOS is a type of operating system. Afterwards, I commented my answer with the question, "Am I correct?"
