C4K November
C4K#7
I was assigned to Dr. Vitulli & Santolli blog post "Then there's Food." Their post was about how the food in Ireland was different than the food in States. Vitulli and Santolli were shocked with the portions they served and the combinations of food they mixed together. I responded saying the food in Ireland looks good but they have a funny way of mixing foods together and I'm not sure if my stomach could handle all of that. Also do they give to-go boxes for the leftover food you didn't eat?
C4K# 8
I was assigned to Dakota in Mr. Boylen's Language Arts class. Dakota wrote a poem title "Not Expected". It was based on dream in which someone get hits by a car and dies, and their after life goes to hell instead of heaven based on his or her passed experiences. I responded by asking if he/or she made the poem up? Also, that the post reminds me of a place down here called the House of Horrors.
C4K#9
I was assigned to IBFrances07 a history students' blog titled "Wanted Personal Assistant". This post is about IBFrances07 looking for a personal assistant to help him. He hires Napoleon Bonaparte because he mad many great accomplishments, gained a lot of success at at 26 and other things in his time. I responded saying I enjoyed reading his post. I like how you knew exactly who you wanted to assist you.
C4K# 10
I was assigned to Ms. Nelson and Ms. Yim Daphne East Elementary 4th grade class. I watched the students video titled The State House". The students went to montgomery and visited different historical places. Also, meet the Governor Robert Bentley. I responded saying I enjoyed watching the video. I remember when I went to Montgomery in the 4th grade, but I didn't get to see all the cool and interesting things you had a chance to see.

C4T
For my C4T assignment I was assigned to Ben Jones's blog Inter,Connect.Ed. He wrote two great post. The first post was titled, "weathering the storm of education." Jones made a great point about teachers giving up on students because of a class being bad, or the students can't understand a lesson. He believes that teachers should keep pushing instead of getting discouraged. I responded saying teaching can be difficult, you can give out, but never up. If teachers don't believe in their students, then who do the students look to as educators.
The second post was titled "Anyone can lead from the negative but it takes a real leader to lead from the positive." This post is about the people who pick all the negative things out and avoid the positives. I responded saying it's easy for someone to lead from the negative instead of the positive. Most people dwell on the negative things that happen they tend to forget to acknowledge the positives.

Final PLN
This is my final report for my PLN in EDM310. My final PLN consist of twitter, blogger, flickr, Google Chrome and other websites I've used this semester in EDM310. Symbaloo is a great website to use for projects and class assignments.

Blog Post 13
Back to The Future
Mr. Crosby is a fourth, fifth, and sixth grade teacher in Sparks, Nevada. The video Back to the Future focuses on working together and active learning inside the classroom. 90 percent of Mr. Crosby students are second language learners, and are students of poverty. I was shocked that majority of his class was not aware of where they lived, what state or country they lived in, or what their address was. His classes had 1 to 1 laptops, interactive whiteboards, cameras, and their own blogs. This provides students the opportunities to think outside the box. I really enjoyed the part of the video with the little girl that has Leukemia. She looks happy to be included in the classroom setting via Skype. "Creativity builds Passion."
A Vision of Students Today
A Vision of Students Today was a quick but true video. This video shows the situations college students face each year. Tuition is expensive, students are lost in the crowd because class sizes are to large. Students spend hundreds of dollars on books that are rarely used. We use technology all day everyday. Cellphones and laptops are used for facebook, twitter, instagram, and other things. However, not as much for school work other than typing papers. I feel it could be beneficial if Universities would use technology as a requirement for classes, instead of using chalkboards and whiteboards.
I can relate to every student in the video. Half of the classes I have taken aren't going to help me in everyday life. I have had some teachers who are boring and some who talk about everything but the subject being taught. On the other hand, I've had teachers who make lessons interesting and fun, and some teachers that care about their students. Those are the teachers who know their students by name not by just a number. When I become a teacher, I plan to make lessons interesting and fun. The teacher who cares about all of her students achievements and future goals in life. I also plan to use technology in my class to keep students interested, and motivated to learn.
