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 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.

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

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.
