New Classroom Rules by Education Innovation

Rules
Come to school every day, unless you would rather just go on line and
Bring required materials, including your laptop and cell phone every day. These two rules are the must important to me. Coming to school everyday will keep the students up to date with whats being taught in class. Not will it do that but it will also give the student perfect attendence. Bringing your required materials is the second important rule. It is impossible to participate in class without the required tools.

At The Teacher's Desk

Social Expert
On the teacher's desk, I found several blogs but I only liked three of them. One is on the Fundred project. This porject is based on the lead problem in the soil of New Orleans caused by hurricane Katrina. The next blog I examine and liked was on the need for teachers to keep learning. The blog is posted by Dr. Strange. The last blog that I appreciated the most is from Chamberlain. He also elaborated on the need for teachers to learn. He did this through song and to me it is very important that we collaborate on this subject.

It is very important that we as teachers continue to learn. Chamberlain expresses this in his song, "How kids are cahnging."This is very important so that our kids would learn and enjoy what they are learning. Dr. Strange pointed out how we are doing away with books. Kids are collaborating on blogs now more then ever. So it is very important that our teachers become better soical network experts.

Toward A New Future Whatever: Michael Wesch

Michael Wesch
I really enjoyed the video from Michael Wesch. It was hilarious, especially the part when the totler bit his little big brother's finger. I was so amazed that Charlie's brother only said ouch Charlie. The video also had grear meaning. The fact that we are living in a narcissism generation. There are so many young people that are all about self. I see it all the time with my son. My son is a teenager. Sometimes he can be so selfish. I pray that this is only a phase. Sometimes he can be so materialistic. He only wants to wear expensive sneakers. My is also a teenager. She wants her nails done biweekly. And she also loves to shop. I see in my personal life dealing with my teenagers, we are still dealing with the whatever generation.

I love how Mr. Wesch ended his video when he said I care. That is my goal as a future educational and as a parent in my own home. It is to by example show that I care and to teach my students and my children to care just as much about others as they care for themselves.

Why Is It Important For Students To Post Their Work to Blogs?

Why Is It Important For Students To Posts Their Work To blogs?

It is very important for students to post their work to blog, because it is informative. When students post their work to blogs, they are sharing their information with others.We had this discussion in class. Blogging is way others can see your work. Such as parents can see how their children are doing. Blogging enabling writers to express themselves in ways that have never been seen or understood before.It is the spontaneous expression of instant thought.http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200811/andrew-sullivan-why-i-blog. Bloging has also become popular with the news. You can go to different news blogs to check on sports and the latest news. Not only can you see whats new in the news when it comes to the media but you can give some feed back.http://www.commoncraft.com/blogs.

ALEX & ACCESS

ALEX & ACCESS
ALEX and ACCESS both many great resoures available for teachers. ALEX has links to courses of study and lesson plans just to name a few. ACCESS shows what it has to offer for both the educator and the student.

Alex links you to different course of studies. Language Arts, Mathematics, and Health Education just to name a few. The varities of subjects are also given by grade level. The 6th grade level gives examples of recreational reading material.

ACCESS's goal of the distance learning plan is to create equity through additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students. This is exemplified in the educator and student relationship on ACCESS. For example, when the student needs assistance, he or she must contact the teacher. In the same way the student can not pick their own teacher. The teacher is designated from whatever school system you resigned in.

Dear Kaia

Dear Kaia
I watched the Dear Kaia video about three times. My first reaction is this will make a great tool for field trips. As you may already know, I am pursuing a career in secondary language arts. In the film Kaia took pictures of her surroundings. The pictures consist of her outside environment. I think that later in my teachuing career, I could use this same experience for filming a field trip with my class then later post it for others to see. The same way Kaia received feedback frm Mrs.C class, I could do likewise with my class.

The Networked Student by Wendy Drexler

The video on The Networked Student by Wendy Drexler is very educationer. I learned that a student can build their own learning network. I also learned why a network student needs a teacher.

I was informed on how a student can go about building his or her own learning network. He or she can search for information using the school data base liberty. He also finds other who have information on his or her topic. He or she can also read blogs. He or she can use their mp3 player that connects them to different universities.

Another educationer concept is why does a networked student needs a teacher. He are she needs a teacher that will teach them to build this network. She offers guidance when they are stuck. She helps them to communicate popularly. She helps them organize that mountain of information.
