Additional Assignment #3
I really enjoyed this vidoe. it was very entertaining and educational. The most important thing Sir ken Robinson said was that teachers should encourage their kids senses to operate to their peaks. I did not find anything i this video that I would disagree with. Sir Ken Robinson said that in today's time, children are being fed with medicine to solve their problems. Medicine are not always the safe way out. To me, this shows us that we rely on too many things to get through our problems. If I had to do a presentation and had to pick a role, I would like to be the artist or do the sound effects.

http://morgbayda.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/an-open-letter-to-educators/ by Morgan Bayda
This video was very interesting. It talks about a young man who dropped out of school because he believed that his schooling was interfering with his education. He explained how college today is not the best way for people to learn because of the way most classes are taught. I agree because since I've been in college, I have had a couple of classes where I didn't learn anything in them. Dan Brown had some good points except for one, dropping out of school. Me personally will never drop out of school no matter what because its the best way for me to get educated for the degree I'm trying to get. Yes professors doesn't really give you individual attention due to large classes but its up to us to make ourselves notced and known by asking questions and taking advantage of the teachers business hours.
Two Questions That Can Change Your Life!!!
I would have to say that my sentence will be about helping others. Something like "She help those in need," because I love helping others and just giving back to my community. The second question they ask was, "Was I better today than I was yesterday." Good question. I would have to say yes because I try my best to better myself each day and just live life.

What I've Learned This Year by Mr. McClung
This was a very inspiring post. Perfection doesn't always happen in the classroom. You must be able to make mistakes in order for the lessons to be absorbed. Mr. McClung stated "Being a teacher does not mean that the school is all about you: How you perform is not the question," it's how your projections inspire the students to perform well. Teachers should not be speech makers, but should simply guide the students into an area of study and let them immerse themseleves.

Richard Miller: This Is How We Dream Parts 1 and 2
This video really open my eyes about how technology is changing theway we are processing the information. It showed a new way of looking at the Internet which involved txt embedded with various types of media such s images, audio, and video. This information provided culd be from various sources which includes information from the past or the present.
EDM 310 is Different: The Chipper Series and EDM For Dummies
These videos ws very interesting and entertaining. In the Chipper Series, it talks about how you should be on time with the assignments. It shows us that no matter what the circumstances is, you must still do your work and turn it in on time. In the EDM For Dummies, it talks about how the students get confused and mad about not understanding the assignment. Its normal but the video showed us that we shouldn't be afraid to ask for help and to use the lab as our advantage.
SmartBoards
In both videos, they said how smartboards are just a waste of money and how it would only keep the students attention for a short period of time. I think smarboards are a great access to the classroom. It helps the students want to learn more and get more involve in the classroom and keep their attention instead of listening at a teacher for an hour straight.
Heres a website that have a different take on smartboards than Mr. Staton and Mr. Ferriter: www.techlearning.com/article/5160

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
I enjoyed watching ths video. The lecture was about how to achieve our dreams and enable them to others. Mr. Pausch had dreams during his childhood and just like most of us, he tried as hard as he could to accomplish each or at least most of them, which he did. He is an inspiring person. His video made me want to work hard at whatever it is that I'm trying to do just so I could achieve what I've always dream of doing.
Experience is what we get when things doesn't always go as plan. We all experience things but it's up to us to make them workout as we dreamed.
It's not always achieving your dreams but living your life to the fullest and the right way with no regrets. Like Randy Pausch stated, " The inspiration and the permission to dream is huge." So with that said, dream big and try your best to achieve them.

The Networked Student by Wendy Drexler
This video is about a student with a teacher whom theory is learning through a social network. So we all have ask, why have a teacher? Teachers can offer you guidance when you are having difficulties. I personal, don't think I am ready to be a teacher of a network.
A 7th Grader's Personal Learning Environment
I have not started on my PLN yet so therefore I can not compare their's to mines. Still thinking of an topic.
The Machine Is Changing US by Michael Wesch
This video was quite confusing. I couldn't put it to my life but at the beginning, he showed two sets of pictures. One of his classroom which he stated, " they are not socially and politically engaged, they just aren't there", and one of American Idol audiance which showed opposite expressions than his classroom picture. There are something structure about us that make us act or feel a certain way.
