I learned from all three resources that it is very important to stay positive while peer editing. Sometimes while I peer edit, I just want to tear apart a person's paper and find every single mistake. I learned that it is not the smart and proper thing to do. Staying positive will help out the other person so they do not think their paper is completely terrible. I also think it is a wonderful idea to start off with a kind word and giving praise while peer editing. I also learned that I myself am sometimes a speedy peer editor. One should always have a clear and focused mind on the paper being edited. I also learned that there are people out there who do not care about what one has to say about their paper. A person should always be open minded while going through peer editing. It also helps a lot to think in terms of what if someone was looking at your work.

What will teaching in the 21st century be like?   Professor Dancealot The central message for "Professor Dancealot" in that a student cannot simply learn by reading straight from the book and listening to the professor. He must be engaged in the activity and even do some hand on learning and practice. The author makes the case for this conclusion by showing that the students are not ready to dance when they are presented with their final. They had no actual dance practice with a partner or in general. When the teacher told them to dance, they had no idea what to do. I agree with the conclusion. This example could be replaced with teaching. If I just sat in a classroom and listened to a professor speak on how to teach a class, then when I actually started teaching my own classroom, I would not have the first clue on what to do or expect.

I was so nervous about EDM 310. All of my friends who have taken it have told me it was going to be horrible. "It makes me want to punch my computer," is just one terrifying comments I've heard. Another friend told me that as long as I stay on top of things, then I will be fine. But with more bad comments than good comments, I was still a bit anxious. I have a fear that I may get behind. I am going to have to stay ahead of the game to make sure I can get through this! So far, this has been nothing like any other class I have ever taken in my life. The most difficult part about this class will be learning how to get used to blogging. I have never had to check up on something so much before. I am going to address this by double checking the blog and assignments. That way I'll always make sure to be a step ahead. I'm still a little unsure about what is yet to come in this class, but if I reread the syllabus and directions to everything, I know I'll be fine!

I just recently moved back to Mobile about a month ago, and I am loving every minute of it! I have a passion for the arts. Especially dance and theatre. I have found out through many years of plays and dances, that I also have a passion for performing. I have wanted to become an educator si...
