Seven Brilliant things teacher do with technology

New classroom Rules


I have read all of these and can't believe that teachers are actually doing things like that in a classroom. It amazes me that the teachers think that they can get away with it. Teachers need to inspire there kids and introduce them to technology in a good way and show them how useful it can be to them. Also how it can introduce them to much more like other teachers and cultures around the world.
The teachers that are not using technology in a good way and not influencing there students need to be fired. Teachers should be thinking of ways to use technology and other methods to help there students learn new things.

This blog was about a blog page that had different gadgets on it. It also had on the page a section that talked about different ways to communicate and like the phone or a computer. Like using twitter or email. Also facebook was also talked about in the blog.

I think that professional blogs are a great way to go because you are able to see the person page and get a better understand of that person. Also you can see there references and see what they can do with technology. I think that teachers should have a blog because it is a great way for students and parents to see what the child is doing in the classroom. Also if the student is sick they can look up there homework for that week.

It also shows that the teacher or new teacher is willing to take the time to give a professional page so that the person that is think of hiring them can see the page and see how they present them self's. This is a new century and things are changing the way we do things and people are using the computer even more. So I think that a professional blog is a great idea for anyone no matter what they are going to do in there career.

Students to post their work on to Blogs.

BLOG

The Importances of Students posting work on blogs:
I think that it is improtant for kids to have there work on the blog. It opens them to a new and exciting things and introduces them to other people that live around the world so that they can learn. New things about a different state or country. Also what kind of technology is out there and what they are coming out with next. Here are a couple ways. Kaia
The first way was how kaia and her father opened everyones eyes. Dear Kaia
kaia and her father took pictures and open the world to a new way of looking at the things that are around us. And showed kids how you can be outside and have fun.
Mr. Clung
The second way was how Mr. clung showed his students how they could do better. He pushed them so they could do better and so that they could see what they could do. Also how technology has changed and is getting better everyday. Also changing as well. Landslide
PS22
The last way is how a group of students showed a little hard work can go a long way. It was so pretty hearing them sign. It makes people really see what kids can do. Also that how technology can introduce you to new things and what you can do when you put your mind to it. Showing student what goes on in other countrys and states so that they can be even more arounded.

Toward a new future of whatever

Toward a New Future of whatever

Dr. Wesch started his video talking about by talking about you tube and how it has influnced people to upload silly videos. And how students are being coming less interseted with school. It's becoming harder for teachers to keep kids attentions with other things out in the media like American Idol shows instead of shows that they are going to learn something from.
I think that it is going to be a lot harder for new teachers to keep kids attentions with technology becoming where you can take it with you where ever you go. I'm not saying that technology is a bad thing but some students if they have a computer in front of them at school. Chances are they are not really listening to the lecture that much. There doing something else.
Like playing cards or on a website looking at things. I think as technology gets more advance its going to be a lot harder to keep kids attention. Then it was when you couldn't bring your computer with you to class much less get on the internet.

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.

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.
