ARTICLE - Google Changing The Way We Think

As I begun to read this article, I totally agree. Using the computer might make someone feel slow. We (people) tend to fall back on a computer rather then use our brains. When an assignment is due,we head towards a computer, instead of using the resource that we already have. I would not call it slow, I would replace slow with new technology! Scientist or professors invent these equipment for usage, that is way people call it an upgrade. Everyday some kind of object is been studied to be improved. Its not computers alone but it is everything becoming new technology!

21st Century Learning Webcast

I really like the involvement they have with children. This is a great explain to use it states, they spilt into group and interact with pocket PC. But they also found out about new technology other then PC. It also explains how students use their math with the technology. Therefore, the technology was great for the students and teachers. However, technology is very important to use inside the classroom. Teachers made progress for all students to use the lab rooms for computers. A lot of hands on things were very important and useful in technology field. Technology function as tool, because students will know how to identify and approach technology in different ways. Because of all the information to be learn, this webcast explains how communication plays a major rule in the technology.

EdTechTalk-Women of Web 2.0

This cast is going to talk about online podcast. Listening to these people makes me want to travel. They explains how they got to view different student writing and things that involves technoledge.It explains different projects to search different games. They use it to search on twitter and blogger. Twitter and blogger is a great resource to use for learning as well. Some of this podcast I could not make out the words.I guess the volume was turned down in this record. I think she was explaining her two wilds of the week.

Kidcast: Learning and Teaching with Podcasting

This podcast has really great educational methods. It explains and gives examples to choose between video or audio podcast. He explains the examples very well. The best example to me was writing something then been able to show it in front of class. Showing in front of class would best work with video podcast. He examples that video podcast might be a little better then audio. Video give audience a chance to be involve with the podcast. Video is not for cutting down for time, but gives them a better view point. Video podcast has a lot of productive points that involves with it podcast. He also states that video podcast involves a lot of time in content into podcast.

EdTechTalk

I like this podcast. It explains the different kinds of steps the involves google doc. It gives viewers a better site on template, spread sheet, lessons plan,calender,syllabus template and forms. I do believe that podcast is a good information source for college students and high school students. Google doc is also great for teachers as well. This podcast explains how teachers could use google doc for progress report and different status report. As for the google doc, it allows students to keep up with their spread sheet and homework documents. But mainly this cite discuss the ways google doc could be a really great source for all teachers. The people in this site explains how its important to have a lot of choices in google doc process.

My Blog About Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity

My reaction to this blog was very knowledgeable. Most professors talk about making money and receiving respect from students. Mr. Robinson, explain how children have so much more to offer then we expect of them. I really agree with his statement and phrase. In this society, students with disabilities have been looked over and forgotten. But what we (teachers) tend to forget is that every child is special in their own way.

I really like how Mr. Robinson told the story of a child whose learning experience is different from other students. Most doctors and teachers would have gave her medicine and said she had a learning disability. His main point of view to me was to get adults more aware of their younger ones. Just one wrong mislead would have kept that little girl from making a success out of her life.

My blog on Did You Know by Matthew Needleman

I could relate to Mr. Winkle Wakes, waking up to a new environment could lead to a shocking reactions! First, there where wages and horse, now there are BMW and Lexus. Doctors that would come to the house and take care of you, now you have to set up appointment to visit a doctor. Schools use to have old wooden tables now tables are been made from marble. Everyday the world grows with new technology by the minute.

My reaction to this movie was exciting! I like that the world is getting new inventions. Think about it, if we all were living in the past times everyone would be hot and without electricity! I thank god the world has alot of new technology! I would get tired of riding horses and wages all day! To be honest, I really don't think i could survive those past tense days!

My blog about the two movies on Did You Know: By; Karl Fisch

My reaction to Karl Fisch movie was actually shocking! The world has grown really fast with new technology. I also could not believe that China and India had those many babies in a day. Its amusing to see how computers are now the new television. Past technology has not been forgotten, it has been upgraded.

This movie allowed me to see how much time people put in with the world. Many people today have been complaining about no jobs. But new technology allows viewers to realize that thousands of jobs are on the way. Many students are now been prepared for the future,because of the new technology that is on the way. Been prepared will allow people to be up to date on the new skills and knowledge that will be needed.
