ACCESS

ACCESS


ACCESS


Access provides so much information out there for students and teachers. It was set up for teachers so that they could communicate with there students. It was started on October 1, 2005. For students that schools didn't have AP classes or basic class for students to take like physics, calculus just some of the examples. The Governor of Alabama Bob Riley and the help of this staff put this all together.

It also gives high school students a higher quality of learning. Also to provide a high school student with additional opportunities. It also gives the students a place to learn new and harder things that may not be taught in a classroom. Or the school may not have the funding to have that class. I think that access is a wonderful tool. I can't wait to use it for my future students. Also to give them the option of it.



Distance


Distance is so that teachers can interact with students in a whole new way. This gives the student a chance to experiance new teachnology and how far it has come. Teachers can us this as a way for students to take quizes, test, homework and the list goes on. This gives students a chance to learn in a different way.So maybe in they will enjoy learning and want to learn other subjects.
This also helps teachers interact with other students and the teachers are always learning new things with the students. This makes the teacher as well as the student more arounded. Because there is always going to be something new and exciting to teach childern how to do and make it more enjoy able for the students to learn. Because everything is changing around us mine as well change with it. And learning is changing as well because there are new and exciting ways to teach childern.

Dear Kaia


This post is about a little girl and her father.The father that lives in Qatar was reading a book called the last child. In the book it talked about the importance of kids being able to explore the outside. The Father asked his little girl to take a camera around with her to capture nature and all the wonderful things. It has to offer. So that his little girl would be able to experience new things outside. She took the camera everywhere she went. She was so excited about taking pictures and being outside.

To the fathers amazement the little girl had a lot of fun with the project. So the dad put all the pictures together so that the little girl could see all of them. They both decided to make it into a video and post it on the Internet so that other people could see all the wonderful pictures that Kaia took. To the fathers amazement the video was a success. It had many post talking about the pictures and how wonderful people thought they where. Until one it was a class in Missouri in the 8th grade that made a video to thank Kaia for the wonderful pictures that she had taken. The 8th grade class and Kaia still talk through skype and interact with her. Half way around the world. Its amazing what technology can do and what is going to happen next.



Singing hearts

This whole video started as a great way to show is daughter what beautiful things are around her. I really think that everyone needs to slow down and take a look around them so that they can see what a beautiful place. That we all live in. Because you never know when you might think of something like this to do with a friend or a daughter or son. Also technology is giving us such new ways to talk to people half way around the world. I can't wait to see how technology is going to help me with my students. Learn about new and exciting places.

The New Media Literacies video


In the video it talked about many skills like judgement, play, multitasking and other ones just to name a few. I think that I have a few of these skills like Play, Judgement, and multitasking. I think that each of these skills plays a part in or lives everyday. As students or teachers each of us use some of these skills each day to write papers to make sure the sources are credible. I think that each of these skills will be effective as we move on in to the years.

I will require the others by just trying use them in everyday life. I think that each of these skills is very important and will be with us in whatever Field that I wish to go into.I think that each of these is important. People everywhere use these skills every day. The things that I found about The New Media Literacies project is that. Here is the website New Media Literacies project

They are teaching young people about each of these skills and showing them how they can use them in everyday life. It is also teaching them how to blog. Also how to use these skills or see what skills they already have. Also to learn exciting things and tools that will later in life be so useful.I think that this project is a wonderful thing for young people.

It gives them a chance to see what tools can help them later in life be successful. Also to do their jobs better. And to have an over all view of what tools can help. Them in the real world. Also at school and college. Also to be able to better understand these tools to be able to be very successful adults.

The Networked Student By Wendy Drexler:

The Networked Student Video

I think that the video was amazing to be able to give a student the freedom to explore the web about there subject. The are going to learn more and by interacting. The students are getting more out of it. There are learning so much more by figuring it out by them self's first. But if they need help a teacher is there to help them if they need it.

I think that the networked needs a teacher because not all students are going to be that adventurous. I think that a teacher is need to give some guidance or if they have a question about something. Then there is someone there to help. I thought it was a great video. As a future teacher I think that it is great for students in middle school on up to college.

I think that it makes the student more arounded and exposes them the new things. Also a different way of teaching that might make it easier for them to learn. If they are doing it instead of reading it out of a book. As a soon to be teacher I think that it is a great thing. I can not wait to see what other teaching tools they come up with or other people try to make students learn in a new way.

This is how we dream Part 1 and 2


Richard Miller talked about using technology as a teaching tool instead of a pencil or hand writing it. Being able to show the student visual instead of on paper. Keeping there attention with losing it throughout the lecture. He also talks about that it is important for teachers to inspire students to learn new and exciting things that are happening. Dr.Miller also talks about the importunates of teachers to be up to date with technology.

Also that the teachers are welling to go that extra mile so that they can teach there students in fun and exciting ways.Even though technology is changing everyday. A teacher could spend just a few minutes a day learning something new. The video was really good I enjoyed watching it. It is amzing the things that we can do with technology.

I think that I could write with mulitmedia. As a future teacher I'm really excited about the teachnology that I will be using in the classroom to teach my childern. I think with the way teachnology is growing and changing everyday. I don't think that students will have a problem knowing how to work or use it. i'm excited to see where else technology takes teachers in the classroom.

Introduction Video to ITunes University


Well I think ITunes has done it again not only have they found a way to download hundreds even thousands of songs a a little piece of technology. They are incorporated college class as well. That is just amazing to think that they can do that. ITunes is about several colleges getting together. To create a place where students can go to download lectures, music, or even different languages to learn.

It is just amazing to think that students can do that. So they can take the lecture with them to hear it again or even use it as a studying tool. This is a great way for students to be more excited about school. Also learn even more about there subject in a whole new way. I can not wait to use this in one of my classes as a tool for studying a new subject. I can honestly say technology is changing everyday and they are coming out with even better ways of teaching.

Duke University Using Ipods

Duke University using Ipods

At Duke University they have come out with a new way of studying. That takes technology to another level. Duke started a program last year that involves Ipods. Duke is using the Ipods in the classroom as a tool for teaching and learning. They have over 1,200 students using them. They are using the Ipods to download lectures or a different language to learn or even music like Jazz.

Duke has since then doubled the number of classes that are using the Ipods as a teaching tool from over 42 classes. So the students can listen to the lectures over again to make sure they have the material. They can even use them as a studying guide for a test.I think that it is a wonderful idea. They are bring technology to another level. To help students even more. So if the student is sick they can still download the lecture and listen to it that is just amazing.

Dr.Christie's Site


I went through Dr.Christie's website and it was very useful there is a lot of information on there that can help teachers. It can be useful to teachers as a source of ideas of new ways to teach material or even new topics. It is very useful for up coming or present teachers or even students. There was so much information on the web site. It gives you so many places that students and teachers can go for information.
It also talked about technology in the classroom how useful it is. The section that I thought that was the most helpful was the technology section for education. It gave many sites and ideas about how to incorporate technology in the classroom. Like with blogs, or pod casting and even using your ipod to help you learn even more about your subject like being able to download a class to it so you can hear it or even see it again.
I would defiantly tell someone about this site because of how useful it is with all the information on it. As well as all the tools that would be helpful to a student or even a teacher to help her or him in the classroom. I really enjoyed looking at her website. It was so fascinating with all what you can do with a computer or a ipod.Vist Her website for yourself just click below.
