C4T #3

I read a Blog post about Twitter and one about Controversy over grades. The Teacher that posted Twitter had the same view I did, he didnt like it when he heard about it but then he realized that it can be a very good educational tool.
Controversy over Grades talked about how grades are an important progress tracker.

What Ive Learned this Year- Mr. McClung
Wow, Mr. McClung's blog post was really great. All the advice he wrote about knowing your student, helping them when they fail, being there to pick them up. He said that it is not about you, the teacher, it is about the teacher and students together. And the part about a lesson going completely different than as planned. He said the most important thing is listening to your students; so many teacher don't do that anymore. I really enjoyed reading this blog, it was like it took a load off of my shoulders or something; I now feel so much better about my future career!

C4K summary post(march)

I read a poem about a girl beig insivible, the earthquake in London, and a little boys thoughts on bullying. They were all amazing to read, I cant believe the way kids know so much and have their own thoughts! Its so much different than when I was growing up.

This Is How we Dream
Most of the information found in books a few decades ago is now found on the internet. Most books are worthless and are sold for a few cents. All the information online is updated immediately. The News can be found instantly at the tips of our fingers and it is constantly updated.


The Chipper Series
Chipper had so many ideas on what to do to get an education, like having a school but people rarely have to go, but they still get the certification. It would have been so much easier and a lot less drawn out if she had just buckled down and did the EDM310 work.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
This was a very good lecture. During a point of watching it, I actually felt as if I was there. This is a lecture that I would recommend that everyone see. Many kids, and even adultss dont know what they want to do when they grow up. Many of us have no idea as to how to even begin to accomplish there dream.
When he was teaching, he basically had a class that was all about living your dreams. The virtual world that he had his students create was basically a dream world. Mr. Pausch encouraged dreams, he lived them as well as coaching students to do the same.
Randy Pausch's life seemed pretty amazing, he lived many of his dreams. Who else really goes for their dreams, many people think theirs dreams are a long shot. Well, not Randy, he was an imagineer at disney, he played football, he even won many stuffed animals at carnivals, and so much more. When most people are laying on their deathbed, they think of all the stuff that they wish they would have done. Randy had a pretty full life and did get to do many things that he wanted to do, no wonder he is not dwelling in his illness!
