Blog Assignment #8
This is how we dream Part 1& 2 
Richard Miller speaks about how he spent a lot of time writing. Mr. Miller even dreamed of a career working with books as a child. He eventually wrote a book that appears on Amazon for 59 cents. Mr. Miller speaks about how we work now by carrying laptops and use word processing for documents. This video shows that technology has made it possible to research all over the world. He also spoke about the speed of technology in the world of today. The question of Am I prepared to write multimedia? The answer is no. This EDM 310 class has really taught me that there is a whole new world filled with new technology that is forever changing. EDM 310 class is getting me prepared on how to do certain things with technology that will help me in the classroom. Will my students be able to do this? Yes, with the help of everything that I am learning in EDM 310, my students will be very productive. EDM 310 is showing me that I will forever have to learn and keep up with the world of technology. It also shows that I will need to have an idea of what is out there so the students students can stay up to date as well. I know that children of today will know technology very well and so should I. Technology is definitely the road to take . Mr Miller shows that technology change and that we should too.
The Chipper Series
This video was about a student that wanted things to go her way. The student even goes as far as dropping out of school because it was not going her way. Chipper even decided to adjust the time slot for students to attend class. She even came up with an idea for students to attend an stimulation class. This video also showed Chipper going through a series of jobs before realizing that education is important and should be taken seriously. At the end of the video Chipper decides to return back to school for her Masters degree and with a better attitude towards education.
EDM for Dummies
This video was wonderful! I believe this book should be publish for people like me. There is so much to learn about technology and this class that this book could be very helpful. These two videos were very good. I would definitely try to sell the EDM 310 book for dummies. I believe that it could be in the top 10 best seller list.
Learn to Change, Change to Learn
Kids are learning more outside than inside the classrooms. This video lets teachers know that they will need to learn how to adapt to the students academically. Basically teachers will need to be able to walk in both worlds with students in oder to help them become productive citizens. Technology will be an important part of a teacher lesson plan but they will also need to learn how to change in order to help students be successful in the classroom.
RSA Animate: The Secret Powers of Time
This video talked about how one plans their time. Time is everything. Yes, technology is important but so is family. The basics of social skills are important. This video talks about how time is spent and how the brain is being wired with technology. Technology will be around but students will need to be able to have social skills as well. It will be important as a future teacher to make sure that I incorporate basic life skills in the classroom as well as technology.
The Suprising Truth About What Motivates US.
This video discuss different ways of motivation through incentives. David Pink does a good job of explaining facts done in America at MIT across the world in India. In the video, he discuss that a higher reward does not mean it will get the job done right. Incentives for a job are good to have to inspire people to do better but that does not always happen. I believe that it will be important that life skills are added into the classroom lesson plan. I believe with morals that students will look at certain situations differently.

C4T Assignment
I was assigned to Tyler Rice. He made a post about How to be a better teacher today- a long look in the mirror. He wrote about how is the new year and a time to start fresh. He also states that it is a good time to examine every aspect of a teacher's practice. He included that critical inspection is needed in : Grading & assessment, Assignments & lessons, Pedagogy, Homework, Late work, Classroom management/ discipline, Standards& main topics. I posted that I agree their is a need for critical inspection in the classroom. I believe that if students are not passing the teacher may need to evaluate themselves as well.
Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
This video was very touching. Randy Pausch was definitely a passionate man that believed in encouraging others to be better. He did not let anything to get in his way. In this video he talks bout achieving your dreams.
Dr. Randy Pausch shared his childhood dreams and accomplishments. He talked about all his dreams and goals that he has achieved. He spoke about obstacles that he went through in which he overcame. Dr. Pausch also let us know that we have brick walls. These brick walls that we encounter are only here to show us our dedication. He also stated that we should have a specific dreams. Be enthusiastic and work hard.
Dr. Pausch that one should be good at something because it makes you valuable. I agree once a person find something that they like or is good at, make it work. I believe when this happen it show in your work. This is why as a future teacher, I want to encourage students to be creative. When students are creative it allows them to find things that they are good at or like to do. I believed allowing students to be creative can help them dream big. That is why I like the idea of Dr. Pausch class the virtual world because it allowed the students to be creative.
Randy Pausch believe in karma,being earnest,telling the truth,apologizing when one screw up, focusing on others and not self. He believed that those are ways to get people to help you. I agree with this and that you have to treat others like you want to be treated. Dr Pausch's lecture was very uplifting and encouraging.
