Post 1: On my first Comments for Kids, I had Tyra D. from Mrs. Well's 4th grade class in Kansas. Tyra talked about how much she loved writing fiction stories. She said she enjoyed them because they would be about anything in the world.
When commenting on her blog, I said how I also enjoyed writing fiction stories when I was younger because I could make them be about anything I wanted.

Universal studiosPost 2: This week I have William from Mrs. Leatherwood's 8th grade Language Arts class. William's blog talked about all the interesting places there are to visit in Orlando, Florida. He said his favorite place to visit was Universal Studios because of all the thrill rides.
I commented on his blog by saying that I love the city of Orlando. I also told him that my favorite place to visit in Orlando is Disney World. I recommended Downtown Disney, too because of the wonderful places to eat and the attractions. 


Post 3: This week, I read Dylan's blog. He talked about a book he read called Beasts From the East. It is about all the famous NBA players from the east. One person he talked about was Lebron James. I commenting back by saying that I played intramural basketball in college and would find this book very interesting to read.

Post 4: This week, I read Zane's blog. He gave a summary of The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. At the end of his post, he asked if we could pick a god/goddess to be, who would we be and why? I responded by telling him that this book looked interesting, and it reminded me of my favorite books, The Hunger Games. I also said that I would be Athena because of how powerful she is.

Blog Post 5 Pt. 2

Throughout this semester, I have not created a huge Personal Learning Network, but I do have a few sources I use and would like to continue using. Twitter  is a huge help for me when it comes to Personal Learning Networks. It is the quickest, easiest, and most up-to-date form of communication when it comes to anything regarding education. Through Twitter, I was able to follow a few teachers whose blogs I commented on for #C4T. Even on their blogs, some of the teachers had spoken about educational opportunities they found through Twitter. The other PLN I use is  Facebook . Through Facebook, I have friended teachers and liked educational pages related to the town I grew up in. I use this to see what it going on the the education system from my hometown. It is very interesting to see opinion and thoughts of what is going on in the school system. As I get more in depth with my teaching, I plan to expand my PLN. One can never have enough educational resources.

What Can Teachers and Students Teach Us About Project Based Learning?  In the article Seven Essesntials for Project Based Learning , Larmer and Mergendoller list seven priorities that go along with PBL. All of these can teach us about PBL. 1. A Need to Know: This can be called an "entry event" which will make the student think and ask questions about the given subject. 2. A Driving Question: The driving question will be the main basis behind the whole project. It should be open-ended and require the students to work to find the answer. 3. Student Voice and Choice: This is important because it will keep the students interested in what they are doing. They should be able to have their own say in decision making during the project as long as it corresponds to the teacher's requirements. 4. 21st Century Skills: This project is important because it teaches the kids to use skills like communication and technology, which is important in this day and time. 5.

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. Teaching in the 21st Century 1. Technology causes students to become more engaged 2. Who will teach students about the dangers of the ...
