Blog Post 2

Mr. Dancealot I feel like the central message of this video was to say all teachers are not cut out to be teachers. Some just do it for a check or to be off during the summer. He made a case by showing that in the end the students knew nothing because thy weren't properly taught. I don't agree with people becoming teachers who are not cut out for it.

  Teaching in the 21st century. I honestly watched this video twice and got nothing out of it. I'm not sure if it was because there wasn't any talking but could not concentrate on this video at all. Sorry.


  The networked student As the video was saying the internet basically teaches us everything we need to know. I feel like we need teachers, because we are always gone need that role model or actual person to help us. Teachers are very important in helping us because everything we read on the internet is not true.

  Harness your students' digital smarts I agree with her, yet I somewhat disagree with her. My agreement is that I think kids do learn better when they are surrounded by things they are used to such as, computers, tablets and cellphones. My disagreement is that children were capable of learning when these things didn't exist so still would be able to.

  Who's ahead in the learning race? I honestly think that elementary students are ahead in the learning race. I wasn't even aware of google docs until I entered the EDM310 class. It amazes me how someone only in kindergarten may be more technologically up to date than I am.

  Flipping the classroom I've never heard of flipping the classroom but I think the idea is brilliant. I think it will help when I become a teacher but it allows children to see it before hand come to class already prepared and full of questions!

I've actually never heard of this class before I signed up for it. That's mostly because this is only my second semester at South Alabama. My number one fear of this class is to forget to submit something by its due date. There are so many things to accomplish in so little time. Eight weeks is definitely not enough time to complete these things in my opinion. Edm310 seems like it might be a little more complicated than any computer course I've taken so far. Other computer courses were just about Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. In Edm310, you have to create a blog and read other blogs. The most difficult thing about this course, in my opinion, is trying to learn everything in eight weeks. A way to address this is by coming to class and checking the checklist master everyday. So far in this course I understand everything we have gone over and I'm excited about taking this class.

    My name is Tyneisha Newkirk. I have only lived in two places my whole life, Alabama and Georgia. I have two major interest. The first one is tennis; I love tennis because it's a great way to exercise while still having fun. I am better on my forehand side but my back hand isn't to bad as well. My other major interest is baking. I love making cakes, cupcakes, candy, candy apples and more!
    I chose to attend south mainly because it was close to home. I had also heard it was a great school! I am the oldest of  five children. I have two brothers and 2 sisters. I will also be expecting my first child in August. Can you say excited!?
   I want to become an educator because I love kids and I can't wait to make a difference in someone's life. When I think educator, since I will be K-6, I think of someone who teaches while also caring; someone who's a mentor and role model.
