Blog Post #8

Richard Miller

In this 1st video, Richard Miller is showing us how he has used technology to create a book that his students use for there education. I believe he said that it cost 3 dollars to buy it off the internet. He is trying to show me and others as future teachers that we will have to use to technology no matter what grade we are teaching. I believe that he is preparing the elementary and younger grades that wouldn't be known for having technology, that we will be using it also even though we wouldn't think that it would be needed for our grade.
In our near future as educators, Ipads will replace books in the classroom. Ipads will stop the use of paper and save a lot of trees and the wildlife living in them. This technology will completely change the way children learn, through their resources for learning. This may or may not have a impact on the ecosystem and wildlife. I believe if I explain to them how we are saving paper and other resources, it will show them a care for others around them and the things that no one ever thinks about.
In the 2nd video, he goes over a way of showing news, videos and all other sorts of multimedia that is known throughout the nation/world. It is a page that shows market prices and presidential speeches all on the same thing. I think that before long the world will have to get its news from technology. This would remove the need for newspaper and TV.

Carly Pugh's Blog #12

Well in Carly's blog, she writes a lot on how she wants her children to be creative and use creativity to do her work for her class. The only real way that you can accomplish creativity is through technology for your resources. Richard has showed the same want for technology in the classroom.

EDM310 Is Different

In this blog post, we are to discuss ideas of videos we would like to create or participate in creating. I have a couple of ideas that I would like to create or participate in creating. One of them is creating educational videos on how to use certain technology, such as "SmartBoard for Dummies." I would make this an instructional video on how to use the smartboard and the FAQ's for this project and answer them. The other would be a basic outline on different things to put in your future or current classroom that would help them class to be a better learning and social environment.

Learning to Change, Change to Learn

Well this video title pretty much explains itself. As teachers we must learn to change from our old teachings and use the new technology we have now a days and use it to change the way we learn. All the arguments in this video is trying to persuade new and old teachers to use the technology out there and use it change the whole way of teaching the children. Technology will be used to change the teacher to the helper, which helps them to learn by themselves.

Discovery Education Web 20.11

For the first of the 3 of 5 topics, we were to find a social network for teachers. I look through the site and immediately found Emodo.com. On Emodo, it is pretty much like facebook, your schedule, groups of people like you with ideas, calenders, and even badges that your students have earned. It's kind of like Sakai for our school where teachers can post test, assignments, and quiz's where kids can see them and communicate with teacher through the web. You can create a teacher or student account for this site also.

For the second of the three, I made a poll its here. .

For the third one, I chose the video tool Animoto.com, there are tons and tons of special features/ features that is available. A couple features which are simple is the app thats available for both andriod and apple products, and has HD Resolution. Then there is the pro features. Unlimited videos. Highest resolution. Exclusive styles. Twice the music library. Commercial license. Custom branding options. Call-to-action features. Then the best part of this site is the fact that you can edit and fix videos with there "video engine" tool.
