In the article <a href="http://www.edm310.com/edm310/fall2014/klein.pdf">Teaching Can be a Profession</a> by Joel Klein the argument of seniority in teaching is discussed. While I believe that all professions should be evaluated I also believe that seniority should also be considered.<br />
<br />
Mr. Klein argues that the downfall of teaching as a profession comes from those teachers who obtain seniority and then decline as teachers. There is not a system to evaluate teachers and give them "walking papers" if they do not add up.<br />
<br />

While it is true that some teachers go into being an educator for job security and benefits, there are teachers who are forced to become "glorified babysitters" (as stated by a retired teacher who wishes to be anonymous). They are tied at the hands because there are no consequences for unpleasant behavior in the classroom.<br />
<br />
I agree that teachers can and should have a governing body to answer to and should in accordance be evaluated, we must also remember what they face in the classroom and from administration. Let us not judge a teacher who is just trying to regain respect and the love of teaching.<br />

I have enjoyed seeing how different classroom blogs can be a huge variety. Some teachers may not be as complete with instructions as I plan to be in my classroom. I hope to use blogging as a learning tool. I will also have an additional blog for kids on my classroom. I hope to have one where the kids will display work for their parents to see the achievements and for other students around the world to comment on . I am also going to create a journal blog that is shared only with myself and the students where they are free to express themselves through art, writing or video.</div>

I really enjoyed his article about messy learning. Watching his video a couple of weeks ago inspired me to think outside the box and be more enthusiatsic about Project Based Learning and its benefits. I have enjoyed gaining different view points from all the teachers we had to comment on.<br />

I enjoyed reading your blog post. It is very important the
students be allowed to explore different ways of learning and the use of stem
is not widespread. I hope that your learning is messy will inspire other
teachers to become more of an advocate for their students.<o:p></o:p></div>

To date I have interacted with teachers, friends and former teachers in my PLN. I plan on adding current and future professors here at University of South Alabama to be able to question, share, and interact with these professionals when I obtain my own classroom. My current PLN includes:<br />

I know that I will add more and more friends, colleauges and professors to my PLN. These unique individuals will help me to become a more effective and strategic learner as well as a gifted teacher.<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
In a world where each day brings new progress, as a teacher we must remember that change is inevitable.<br />
<br />
My philosophy on using technology in the classroom has grown and developed over the past semester here at the University of South Alabama. When I first began this class, I just hoped to pass and move on. But in taking this course, meeting other perspective teachers, and also using technology to communicate with current teachers, I have come to realize that I must too change. Long gone are the days where a teacher could command his or her classroom to sit idle and listen to lectures. We as teachers must now grab the attention of many students who are far more advanced in technology than we will ever dream to be.
I have discovered that engaging students will be more of the focus of teaching and that in doing this the students will retain more knowledge than just that of lectures and facts. I have noticed in EDM 310 for example that students have left the course , feeling overwhelmed, or unable to change or continue to learn. Some were still unable to accept a changing environment for learning. However, I believe the course is essential to learning how to engage students.<br />
<br />
My new philosophy on technology is to become a lifelong learner. I hope to find a niche in which I belong and soar freely through technology. I want to embrace the rewards and benefits of teaching using technology. I aspire to see students grouped together discovering the power of learning. I embrace that as a teacher I will encounter different uses of technology and blend them into each lesson I am able to share with my students.
Teaching and Technology are no longer two different subjects to divide. The two must be interconnected and adapted into the new classroom of today.<br />

The following article is a great way to show students how it is beneficial to keep areas well maintained for those who are handicapped or have difficulties walking. The project would allow kids to help in their community.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ967098.pdf">Project Base Lesson Plan for Special Needs</a><br />
<br />
After reading the article I found that this would give students of all ages the chance to make a difference in the community. You could use this in conjunction with health lessons, math lessons, social history lessons, and science lessons.<br />
<br />
I feel as teachers we should not only come up with things for the general student population, but for the whole society.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So the blog post to have students in EDM 310 should be to find resources on kids with special needs. Then post different ideas on how to adapt your lessons for those students.robin.scott edm310http://www.blogger.com/profile/00829583861455656568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165970921577575235.post-6171474473446064282015-04-12T09:54:00.002-05:002015-04-12T09:54:46.391-05:00C4T #3<div class="comment-content" id="bc_0_6MC" style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 8px; text-align: justify;">

I am in EDM 310 at University of South Alabama. I enjoyed the concept of potential verses knowledge. So many times teachers forget to see the potential in students and only look at the knowledge they can spit back at them. Without the potential , learning is not possible. Great post!</div>

I liked your comment on testing. Students may have all the concepts to pass a test and still not have learned. Whereas, another student may not pass the test but obtains more knowledge and comprehension of the subject.</div>

<br />
When viewing the video posted by Brian Crosby, I was impressed at the children's ability to use different methods . The children are very enthusiastic about learning about the atmosphere because they are shown different ways to adapt their own skills. The students were able to teach other students. This teacher shows how engaging children can improve reading, writing and learning skills with 2nd language learners. I love how the children were able to expand their intelligence across the world.<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-apJDi7cx9o">Blended Learning by Paul Anderson</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Anderson has a great method of showing students how to comprehend Science. I respect his method of starting with an engaging questions. The students are then instructed o perform their own investigations. His method of reviewing individually or in groups to test their comprehension is phenomenal . More Making thinking Visible by Mark Church should view this teachers concept of Blending Learning. I like his statement of if you can't explain what your learned to someone else, did you learn it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Church uses two approaches. First he discusses his subject with his students. He then has small groups review the topic and discuss it. In this video he is sharing the origins of human beginnings. He allows the students to come up with their own questions or "headline" which will intrigue the other students. After he finishes the unit of study he has the students reflect on their initial question and see where they would begin again to explain This method is superior in project based learning because it can engage the students to learn more.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Payne engages his students by reminding the students that you are responsible for using the Internet safely. He compares the students to superheroes. He shows the students on their level how dangerous the Internet can be when not used properly. He has the students build a comic strip to show how the Internet should be used. It is a great way to teach Internet safety. We can learn from him how to guide our students to use their own judgements.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Wander, Ms. Delorme, and Ms. Froshaug have created an enforcement where students are proud of the education they are receiving. They are examples of how teachers should communicate and create class room experiences. We can learn from their innovation and creativity how to achieve success in becoming effective educators. By combining three subjects that are required of their students , they were able to reach beyond the curriculum and have students do amazing work. The students will walk away with knowledge and the love of learning.</div>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjPoHJQjtcY">Roosevelt Elementary Project Base Learning Program</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Project Based learning is intended to create a real world problem and have children solve these problems using technology, knowledge and comprehension. The students will apply their knowledge to the questions asked of them and you can evaluate their understanding and comprehension. The students are guided through projects. One benefit that was described was public speaking. This has always been a problem for me. I think being able to take away that fear as a young child not only helps for later in life but gives them social skills needed in what ever path they chose to take as an adult.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Giving students the "ownership" of the project gives them the confidence they need. I really enjoyed how Roosevelt School involved every classroom, every teacher and every student. The social skills, and communication skills taught here are amazing.</div>

<br />
These are the most <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvPZtTej0jQ&feature=player_embedded">Amazing 1st Graders</a>! They are students in Ms. Kathy Cassidy's classroom. Seeing them use technology at this age is outstanding and sometimes incomprehensible.<br />
<br />
Ms. Cassidy utilizes class room time in very unique ways. She lets her students use technology to display their work in a portfolio that all the world can view. She states in her first interview with Dr. Strange "Why would children use pencil and paper where I can see it, when they could write on a blog where the whole world can see it?"<br />
<br />
What incredible incite this teacher has. What better way to aspire your children to become artist or writers.<br />
<br />
This approach to learning is something I hope to use in the classroom. Ms. Cassidy inspired me to look beyond a traditional approach. Taking the EDM 310 class at first seems like a horrible experience, until that one teacher shows your their classroom.<br />
<br />
I think if more current, traditional and future teachers were to view these videos, their mindset on technology would change.<br />
<br />
I plan to use twitter to share these inspirations in my PLN.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlAUsEXlBas">Interview #3 Kathy Cassidy</a><br />
<br />
The technique I most respected with her videos was being able to skype other classrooms or professionals and let the children interview them. I think children are able to see how education is important is much more impacting than anything we can have them write about. I hope to set up a class blog in my classroom so that my students can share with family, friends and the world their potential. I also hope to created something similar to facebook just for the classroom where students can contact their classmates and other students their age to begin their own PLN (personal learning network).<br />

Being able to see and read children's thoughts gives us as teachers such a great power. Knowing how to challenge students by first understanding them as individuals, will empower a teacher to engage different students using a variety of methods.<br /><div>

The Seven Essentials of Project Based Learning<br />
(summarized)<br />
<br />
I.<br />
Grab attention, engage and guide students in a meaningful project that will challenge them, solve problems and involve them in their community.<br />
<br />
II.<br />
Create questions that will have the students research and hypothesize themselves.<br />
<br />
III.<br />
Give students a choice to arrange their projects with creativity and a voice to reflect.<br />
<br />
IV.<br />
Have students utilize skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and synthesizing.<br />
<br />
V.<br />
Let the students become empowered by discovery. Let their questions intrigue you as much as your questions gave them enthusiasm. Give guidance not instruction.<br />
<br />
VI.<br />
Give direct feedback and allow the students to analyze and comment on each others work.<br />
<br />
VII.<br />
Give public recognition and let the students reflect on their projects.<br />
<br />
Project Based Learning for Teachers<br />
<br />
Project based learning for eachers creates a classroom in which students can become members of current society. They will use critical thinking and problem solving skills and apply these to real world situations. Below I have found several lesson plans that involve these.<br />
<br />
C . Mccllough<br />
Kindergarten PBL - <a href="http://www.ccusd93.org/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=29708&pagecat=1328">FIVE SENSES</a><br />
<br />
This lesson will help kindergarteners realize that their senses help them to solve mysteries and problems everyday. You could perhaps also add in the problem with smells in inner cities. Give them guidance on waste products and how to help enviromental issues pertaining to these pollutants. The possibilities for 5 year olds to comprehend the world around them are endless.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pblchecklist.4teachers.org/students.shtml">Involving Students in Project Based Learning</a><br />
<br />
By allowing students to give input on the project you are empowering their minds to think beyond the project. You may find that the students ideas will blossom more questions and more projects. Do not be afraid to allow the students to create and maintain their own projects. Help guide them with checklists or rubrics to evaluate themselves and other classmates. Giving students a choice in learning instead of forcing memorization with help them to become more well rounded and better assets in their careers later in life. Giving them group projects will all diversity in the groups show that collaboration is essential to have success in careers and college.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ldt.stanford.edu/~jeepark/jeepark+portfolio/PBL/individual.htm">Indvidual Responsibility in Project Based Learning</a><br />
<br />
Giving each member a role in learning is essential. This will guide the student to responsibility for oneself. It can help build the skills to become confident in ones work and give the student investigative skills. This should also help them on interviewing skills in the workplace , whether they are the interviewer and investigating a potential employee or the interviewee and being able to solve problems during an interview if given opportunity. The most asked question during an interview is what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses? Being able to use the skills such as critical thinking and collaboration in a group should help the student to achieve success on obtaining a career.<br />
<br />

What can we Learn from Randy Pausch?<br />
<br />
To become an educator, Mr. Pausch, discusses three topics that should pertain to your choice of career, your dreams, enabling the dreams of others and the lessons you learn.<br />
<br />
First he discusses achieving your dreams. He explains that in order to achieve anything in life you have to be willing to go the distance. You should never give up. You are always looking for a way to live out these dreams. The saying "anything is possible" lies within yourself. He explains that enabling others to live out their dreams could as well help you live out yours.<br />
<br />
In this theory as an educator, you should always be extending your mind on how helping others with only help you. During his lecture pertaining to enabling others to realize their potential, he states "giving chance to show them what it feels like to make others excited and happy" this gives your the an idea of how selfless Mr. Pausch truly was. Although, he was very wealthy, he gave to others, not only monetarily , but little parts of him. In doing this, and watching his last lecture I feel a part of him will go with me in education.<br />
<br />
Seeing his words about children or students rather and how they inspired him helps me to understand what it means to be a true inspiration to someone else.<br />
<br />
Lessons Learned<br />
<br />
Mr. Pausch is just a man who felt he could make a difference. But instead of discussing the differences he made, he chooses to discuss the ways others made a difference in his life. If we all look at the people in our lives the way Mr. Pausch did, we will be effective not only as educators but as humans.<br />
<br />
Taking what Mr. Pausch did with his life; teaching, inspiring, and also learning from his students, has made my decision to be an educator more empowering than I could have ever imagined.<br />
<br />
I hope that anyone who choses to become a teacher will watch the following videos.<br />

<br />
Deb Frazier is a first grade teacher in Central Ohio. After reading several of her blogs along with the assigned material, I find her methods refreshing and exciting.<br />
<br />
The first assigned blog post was on February 22, 2015. It was titled <a href="http://deb-frazier.blogspot.com/2015/02/math-investigations-and-twitter.html">"Math Investigations and Twitter".</a> She allowed her students to explore possibilities to a simple question. Her investigative students researched others works and were able to blog to other teachers and students. She allowed the students to pose the question on twitter and they were amazed at the responses that were available. The simple answer a student gave "i think addition is like subtraction" was a great way to investigate other perspectives.<br />
<br />
The second blog post I read on March 10,2015 and was titled, <a href="http://deb-frazier.blogspot.com/2015/03/math-mondaythe-power-of-independent-math.html">"Math Monday The Power of Independent Math".</a> This was also inspiring to a future teacher. It gave examples of how students learn by different methods. It showed the different cognitive functions students go through to solve math problems. It also explained that we all need to become independent learners, especially in the subject of math. Children were allowed to practice math in any way that felt would help them understand it.<br />
<br />
I hope to read more of Deb Frazier's Blog Post and to continue to communicate with her in the future for more inspiring ideas.robin.scott edm310http://www.blogger.com/profile/00829583861455656568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165970921577575235.post-29730853061775298282015-03-02T20:54:00.004-06:002015-03-02T21:24:02.987-06:00Project 7b for parents and students<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By knowing my weaknesses, such as; low technical abilities and sometimes preferring a more traditional approach, I can become a learner with my students. My strengths of the enjoyment of learning and the ability to see all obstacles as a challenge I will enjoy the eagerness of children to help increase my knowledge as well as their knowledge.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRNvyhTmcck">Using Imovie and Virtual Library in Kindergarten</a><br />
<br />
The interview between Ms. Davis and Ms. Bennett, both who are media specialist in Baldwin County, confirms that we are learning more from children every day. We as adults who were taught with pencil and paper hold the knowledge, we only need to engage children at a level which they are comfortable. Children are intrigued by new technology and will seek and search ways to improve themselves while using technology. As a teacher, we are going to need to listen as much as we request our students to listen. We need to encourage their abilities to teach each other and to teach themselves.<br />
<br />
Ms. Bennett's enthusiasm for Kindergartens book trailers is refreshing. Most teachers who have been in the field feel that the "old" way of teaching is the only way. Enthusiasm is lost among most educators due to either frustration with technology or lack of training.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5TAWgwv9O4">We All Become Learners</a><br />
<br />
As stated before, the best educator is one who is willing to learn along side his or her student. Asking questions in the classroom that lead to discussions and research is the most beneficial way for a student to learn. Projects reinforce the theories we teach. Being able to ourselves question our on learning and reflections will only enhance to ability of our students to learn.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV8M6P9st9Q">Ipads in the Classroom</a><br />
<br />
Viewing the interviews with various schools in Chicago and the implementation of Ipads in the classroom gives me more motivation the embrace technology in my curriculum. Watching the eagerness of the students and educators on this new adventure only confirms the reasons I chose to become a teacher. I want to experience the smiles on the faces of students when they figure out a puzzle. I see that different areas of learning can be utilized by using an Ipad. You can explain to different children from different backgrounds and learning levels on the Ipad. It is configured to their learning patterns instead of the student trying to learn in only one direction.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulb4jl3xqs8">Top 10 Reasons for Technology in Education</a><br />
<br />
Should anyone question the reasoning for technology in education, you need only have them view this intriguing video. They put it in simple steps on how it is beneficial. To summarize the reasoning; engagement, participation, feedback and connection to the subjects are first utilized . There are also the benefits of less time working on grading papers. You can use specialized applications for children who need special education as well as for gifted students who need to progress faster so they do not lose the drive to learn. The technology can also remove obstacles such as visual impairments and needing to be closer to the front of the class to hear. Technology use in the classroom is a great way to engage both student and teachers.<br />

<b>W<span style="color: #444444;">ho is Anthony Capps?</span></b></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.bcbe.org/Domain/2499">Anthony Capps</a> is a teacher at Gulf Shores Elementary School. He utilizes Project Based Learning. He believes it is a "constant evolution". He thinks it should be used to teach instead of being a tool that you use to evaluate after lectured teaching. He does not think technology should be used to test your knowledge but should be used as a motivation for students. He thinks that using Project Based Learning should be "driven by content". In this he said that your projects should be created to given students the content required by the state of <a href="http://alex.state.al.us/ccrs/">Alabama's College and Career Readiness </a>standards.<br />

<b>Approach </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mr. Capps has a effective approach to Project Based Learning. He does not teaching technology. He uses technology. He uses a method of "scaffolding" or making steps to a goal. He begins with a simple assignment then uses each new class day to add to the assignment. This created layers of learning and helps the students reflect on their choices and be able to better structure their learning methods.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Implemented in Baldwin County , AL these are tools for students and teachers use in Project Based Learning. ICurio is an online tool that students log into to perform safe searches and filters. It has a storage system so that students can utilize a Personal Learning Network. Discovery Education is a visual aid research tool. It gives students the ability to research and watch films, pictures or listen to music based on the topic they are researching. </div>

<b>Reflections:</b></div>
After viewing all the possibilities I feel confident that using technology in the classroom with be beneficial and motivating. I aspire to see the eagerness in students to learn and process education without the mondaine repetitive note taking and speeches in the past classroom experiences. I am very interested in studying more ways to help students realize their potential as learners.<br />

As a teacher you need a network of websites,people and social media contacts. These venues will have an impact on you and your students. Your personal learning network should included well planned websites that are valid and will assist you in the process of researching subjects to add to your classroom instruction. You should also add peers who can review your lesson plans and add input to your critique. Social media venues will help you to come up with creative ideas in getting your class involved.
As a teacher in elementary education, I hope to introduce PLN's to my students so that they can enhance their ability to network with the world. They can use the PLN for learning, exploring and reading about cultures, arts and history.
I personally enjoyed the first video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEls3tq5wIY&feature=player_embedded">A 7th Grader's Personal Learning Environment</a>, I was impressed that the student was able to enjoy her assignments and even obtain responses from teachers in other parts of the world.robin.scott edm310http://www.blogger.com/profile/00829583861455656568noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165970921577575235.post-75185027091655467722015-02-15T12:25:00.002-06:002015-02-15T12:25:15.535-06:00Project #3 Presentation<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Y5ps3DmHWIh1zI6XETr-zGa5FNN4xo-WLDYxpg7jUD4/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" frameborder="0" width="480" height="299" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>robin.scott edm310http://www.blogger.com/profile/00829583861455656568noreply@blogger.com1
