Beasely Broadcast

I had comments from 3 to 5 counting down they were very good I was amazed about hear second grade students twitter that was amazing to get children that young to be cooperate with it.
Then another podcast kids explaining the correct techniques of kickball it was cute and funny because they were saying things that you would at least expect to hear about, but well worth knowing.
Another podcast was about children being good to animals treating them with respect and how to treat them. It was very good because at the young age they realize animals have rights just as well as humans and they need to be treated with care and respect.

Comments of "What Learn This Year "by Mr.McClung

Mr.McClung makes pretty good points of becoming effective teacher. But, one that mostly stands out to me is "Be flexible", because new teachers seemed to want to go directly by the book and want everything to go by plan. Because of all students don't learn the same way its pretty hard to stay on task since probably you have to stop and catch a student up and break it down more clearer. The simple message he's pushing is No Lesson is perfect take your time the goal is to make the students understand and comprehend not for the teacher to had the best plan.

Wired Story

Wikipedia can be trusted and can be not be trusted it has ups and downs. But, for the most part I believe I can be trusted. That's why i think Virgil Griffith creation Wikipedia Scan was an great creation since you can find the fraud through the IP address. But for the most part I don't believe the Wikipedia should just be cut off, because it is still a good reliable source.
Now since Griffth have prove that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and things can be deleted at anytime without the use of being fact-checked of no kind. Being that Griffith was trying to prove the point of big organizations or companies make false advertisement or going back to reword things, so this Wikipedia scanner came about from him and he made it easier way for we are able to tell false information because its like an backspace that goes back to the last computer who did the edit.

The Good Life

Randy Pausch's Lecture

This was a very good video and inspirational speech he delivered his message really good. He also, kept the crowd into it with different little jokes. For a man knowing he is about to die that took alot of courage. He made it pretty clear that he love his technology and playing around with things to learn more. Mr. Pausch was very big believer in fulfilling your childhood dreams the video was made his kids.
Mr.Pausch really encourages experimenting with things and always drive yourself to learn more as a child would. He believe in we can learn alot from a child by not being strict on them don't worry over material things. He wanted his kids to know they can be anything they wanted to be just pursue it and believe you can do it don't let anyone hold you down.
The video was sad because he knew he was going to die, but he wouldn't never said anything from listening to the speech of him with the energy he had and the positive energy he gave the crowd you would of never thought he was dying. This video I would recommend everyone to watch for encouragement.

Karl fisch: is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate teacher?

I agree Mr. Fisch I believe every teacher should be literate of that a teach should be computer literate, because although some teachers a computer literate, this like what read about from Mrs. Hines saying a teacher should be a good listener and learner. Its embarrassing when a child knows how to work an computer better than an adult. Welll, by using the technology the kids will already be excited will be more operative on the learnin that's bout to begin

"It's Not About the Technology" by Kelly Hines

This article are really useful to first year teachers, because they feel like they be have to do something new or fun and cool for the kids, when all comes down they have to be able to teach, because with the use of technology some kids still can get misguided and left behind in the learning progress of the certain curriculum. Therefore, teachers have be good teachers in order to the perfect success to their kids because all students learn at different levels.
Teacher must be good learner that was another good statement Mrs. Hines made; meaning in my opinion is teachers can learn a lot from others and research. In order of being a good listener the teacher must first be a good observer and look around to be able criticism. Teachers shouldn't be afraid on to ask another teacher about different message they use to through their students if it's successful.

Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

I understand the point they were connecting to with technology and school learning. This video was cool too me and fascinating it was like one of them truth videos about smoking. In my opinion the point was that children seem to learn more with new modern stuff that seem interesting. For example it my not be many teenagers or young people who will buy a newspaper, but they will rather read about online or through their email. It's also telling kids to be more serious in school, if you gone be deck and you are not coming to class you're not doing but wasting your time and others.
I would of added to the video an example of how kids can be taught with the modern technology using facebook, emails and others. I also, would push the high cost of the books and barely ever used them in the semester. Other than that this video touch a lot of key spots and was very clear. Because how you know what the class learn, when the wall can't talk only the class can tell you. That's being a teacher you have to be open minded to be able to connect with kids to get their mind thinking, so putting modern technology with learning is such an good idea..

How Technology is used in Classess at USA

I really like their topic, it was more interesting to me. Everyone that attends to South have experience some technology that they are not use to. Then you might run into an older person that went to the University years ago and wonders to do South still do some of the same things and you tell them they have created new and easier ways for that, they just be so amazed. Everything they said in this podcast was good, but to me it just started to get a little boring I know mines might probably be boring also. I also, think they stated some good facts especially with how the teacher can bring the grades up with students jag number. Even though it's so simple and easy that shows how technology have came along way from writing grades on paper.
What would of done is interviewed earlier South graduates on their experience with the old ways before the invention of the new technology and hear their opinions how South have improved. Then when can begin a little talk session like an talk show and we all can put our experiences together.
