My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are now complete!!

I really enjoyed this class and i really learned alot in it. I never would have known where to begin to try to create my own website and i never even knew about blogs before this class. I also learned about the payout table and what not. Now i still need a little practice on that but i downloaded all the videos even though it took about ten hours on my laptop. Your videos really helped me alot if it weren't for those i would be completely lost. It's really nice to have a teacher take so much of there time to do the videos to help us out. All in all i really enjoyed the class and learned alot!!




Good luck to everyone!!

Wikipedia

Wikipedia to me anyways now can't be trusted. I have used it many many times before but i never knew that just anyone could go an edit others writing. But it's "supposedly" an encyclopedia than can be edited. Well basically everyone goes an edits everything that they don't like is being said about them, or the company, ex.
Now don't get me wrong some information is true but not all of it. I think that everyone should read those links to know what Wikipedia is all about!!!

WGBH Teacher Domain

I watched the video on Global Warming and i found it quite interesting. I feel like i could use this technology in and out of the classroom. Teachers could plan ahead on their lessons and have videos like this available in their classrooms. I feel like as a teacher you personally need to interact with your students but it's not such a bad idea to have a backup plan if something were to happen. Now almost everyone has access to the Internet so teachers could also post these videos on the Internet for students who have missed class or for those who do quite catch on so quickly.
The video i watched was about global warming. It talked about how carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. They show a special heat radiated camera that picks up heat radiation from body heat. Someone sits in front of the camera and it show them in color. When you turn on the gas the image fades. To pretty much wrap the lesson up the earth warms when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere.

"Growth" vs. "Fixed Minds"

I wasn't really knowing what to expect when watching this video but after watching it i realized it is pretty self explanatory. The video is about students who have fixed minds meaning that they believe that their fixed intelligence is a fixed trade. They basically base their activities on whether their intelligence will be shown to advantage. The session that has been put together has seemed to help the children in their schooling. The teachers could pick the students out who had it with out really knowing who they were.
This will affect me and everyone as a teacher because it is our job to help the student have a "Growing" mind. If a child is fixed on something it takes a lot to help them change their ways. It is our responsibilities as teachers to notice problems like these and the best way to solve them.
