1.)Letter to Lucy
http://ctp-stelmo.blogspot.com/2011/09/letters-to-lucy.html
(My actual comment)
Hello,
My name is Larry McMillan I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. The letters the students have written to Lucy has shown a great appreciation for the field I am currently in. I hope the students take care and enjoy the I-pads.
On the blog post was a way for teachers and students to be able to show appreciation to someone by the name of Lucy. Lucy has shown some students and teachers the ability to technologically advance. The students in their letters have shown how thankful for being able to use the I-pad. These letters have shown me the reason I wanted to join this field.

Blog Post #5
1.)Don’t teach your kids this stuff. Please? By Dr. McLeod
http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2009/08/dont-teach-your-kids-this-stuff-please.html
(This is what I posted)
Hello Dr. McLeod
I am a student in Dr. Strange's EDM310 class at the University of South Alabama. I find your points to be very true, but Unfortunately I can say i agree with everything that you are conveying. yes I believe that we should protect our youth from the dangers of the world but just like there are negative things there are positive things as well. But overall with the porn and predators hate to say it but there are some sick people out there.
Dr. McLeod is a teacher at the University of Kentucky. Through his blog post he explains the importance of not allowing the children to be embedded in technology because in the long wrong he feels it can only hurt them. I agree with wanting to protect our kids from the negatives of technology and social networking, but i disagreed with his arguments. He seemed to disregard the positives technology brings to the world and focused on the negatives.But also I'm not for certain that he was actually serious or he was being sarcastic.
2.)The iSchool initiative (Mobile Learning)by Travis Allen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68KgAcx_9jU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06YOePeUx4o
Travis Allen explains the concepts of using the I pad in schools. He explains that the I pad decrease the usage of books to none in schools. He then goes in depth the programs already ready for classrooms.He grants the idea of creating financial stability among students, teachers, and parents. He has taking his vision to a new height with his next video.
I completely agree with Travis Allen. I school will grant teachers and students to always be on the same page through a school year. This will save students bundles of money. For example I personally went to a private school, and i was forced to pay for school books, reading books, uniforms, pens, paper, and etc...This would have cut my cost down 75%. Not only would it save me money but it would help the nation to go into a go green type of mindset. My only question would be would all school be able to get the i pad for there students? Who would fund this costly funded program to help better education?

Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir - 'Lux Aurumque'
At first I did not know what to expect. As I kept watching it seem to be so unrealistic. Like if the screen wasn't moving as much than I could believe it. I personally seem to think people just web cam themselves singing the song. and attach it to a group or something. But it was magnificent. I love the video though.
4.)Teaching In the 21st Century y by Kevin Roberts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmskHM0V2Ig&feature=player_embedded%23!
In a blunt description Robert feels that if teachers applied themselves and if students were to also apply and use the resources at hand that the relationship could be that much better. He says "teachers are no longer the the main source of knowledge". I find that quote so true and meaningful. He explains that teachers must show students how to look up legit resources. Because in my time in school I have notice all information is not true information. The positions expressed in the video are set. Both positions must apply themselves to get positive results. I totally agree with Robert his points on how teaching is changing and how us as teachers and future teachers must adapt. This has already change my mind set on my journey to becoming a teacher.

Blog #4
1.)Eagles’ Nest Radio Episode #3: Roamin’ with the Ancient Romans
http://blog.woodward.edu/ps_edmison/?cat=103
I'm not to familiar with pod casting. But from listening to the 3rd graders speaking about Rome seemed very interesting. Listening to the the third graders explain the about Rome and how they presented themselves was remarkable. They had the pod cast almost like a real news casting station without the video. I happen to learn a lot of eye raising to info about the Romans. This has taught me what pod cast can do.
2.)The benefits of podcasting in the classroom
http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2009/04/the-benefits-of-podcasting-in-the-classroom.html
I learned in that pod casting can be used for interacting with the students and an educational manner. Pod casting presents clear and knowledgeable information to the students without the presences of an actual teacher. Not only can the teacher not be present the but the pod cast can be listen to at any time and anywhere. This also provides parents the ability to listen to what their kids are learning. I have learned what pod cast abilities are.
3.)Learning Podcasting on Wise Women Website, By: Carolyn Wood
http://www.wise-women.org/tutorials/podcast/
I didn't know that pod casting was created in 2004. I had an I pod touch and I notice on my i-tunes program had the podcast on it.But then unfortunately I did not know the use of the pod cast until now. I'm pretty sure if I would have known the basics skills about pod casting I would have used it in high school when I was unable to to attend school. But overall I think this will make me a better teacher. In presenting myself to my students in a more professional manner and also in a technological way for the students to be interested in learning the topics at hand.

Hello Mr.Wolf,
My name is Larry McMillan. I'm currently a student at the University of South Alabama. Your post shows very good leadership skills. Having great leadership skills will help you in the long run to becoming a successful individual in society. Thank you and I hope to read more blogs of yours in the near future.
On this post Mr. Wolf was explaining a challenge on blogging. Which initially is a blog post about one's self. He explain that you would talk about one's life and not include one's real name and if one has family members to substitute their names for other names. I thought the idea he came up with was a very creative ideal, and that he showed great leadership skills putting this together.

"F in Exams Book Give Away - Because It Made Me Think"
This is my reponse to Mrs.Ripp blog post
Good Afternoon, Pernille Ripp my name is Larry Demetrius Mcmillan. I am a current student at the University of South Alabama in Professor John Strange EDM 310 class this semester. I found your blog on "F in Exams Book Give Away -Because it Made Me Think" amusing. I was thinking to myself what my little nephew says when I test or quiz him on things around him. But the picture is hilarious.Thank you for the blog.
Mrs.Ripp was explaining in her blog post a normal drive home with her daughter. When she began asking her daughter questions on the noise of certain animals. Her daughter got one wrong and she says F for test grade. Her blog post was in relation to useless test that are given to students that will not aid the student in their lives.My summary response was I felt that it was interesting how i ask my nephew the same types of question and he gives some of the most unusual answers. but overall I found her post very entertaining.

"What You Look For You Will Find..."
my comment on the post.
Hi Pernille
My name is Larry McMillan I am currently in Dr.Strange EDM310 class. Your post makes a lot of sense. For one to give up when they have not been looking that long serves as lack of patience and poor judgement.
In Pernille blog post, she explains that if one was to just keep looking and searching that sooner than later they will find what they are looking for. She then comes into farther details about educators who teach to the class, the lazy students, parents, or etc that you will find your way. My response to her blog was that if one is looking for something than and dont find it right away that they should continue to look and not give into the worldly impatient ways.

Blog Post #3
1.)This is the comment I left, ("The world is advancing and if people are not willing to step up and ride the wave then they are going to find themselves in a quality of life that is lower than they would desire." My favorite quote because it makes so much sense. Because in society if your not willing to educate one's self technologically then your decision of weather or not to jump on board makes it harder in a world where it does not slow down. Your clarity and organizations skills in this post were well thought out. Your word choice and grammar were strong as well.)
I commented on the individuals blog because I felt that his blog post about the videos were well thought out. Yes he had minor mistakes that can be easily fixed but overall the blog was great. I like the idea that you give the person a compliment about their writing before actually just biting their head off with mistakes on their writing. personally I've been on both side of peer editing and when someone starts out with your paper is terrible and makes it hard to remain focus on writing your paper at your best ability when someone is destroying your self esteem.
The video and slideshow helped me notice mistakes in my own writing. Yes its basic using common English but sometime mistakes can still find there way into your writing without you knowing. The video help me recognize better suggestions are wanted if thought out. The middle school video was very amusing only because even though those were young boys and girls acting, in college that level of thinking still goes on. So I would recommend this video to all college students

"It's not about Technology" (By Kelly W. Hines, Keeping Kids First)
I totally agree with Kelly Wines about how technology isn't needed.I look into the past and see how our ancestors went through school and see how successful and intelligent they are. If a teacher wants to be successful than a teacher must make their students first into success. Now i can't say that technology does not make some things easier but when did being successful become easy. I would personally say never.
I love how Kelly Hines says that teachers must learn as well as students. Teachers do not stop learning when given their degree I hope. Teachers must learn and adapt to each and every student to help the progression of here class. This helps promote the idea no child left behind. Once a teacher learns that than she is able to evolve into a better teacher not just for her person reasons but to her students as well.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher? e blog Fischbowl by Karl Fisch
Karl Fisch reason teacher illiterate blog I kinda agree with everything he says. For the most part teachers should be able to use the computer and its applications without any troubles. Now teachers that means you have to do your research on how to use the computer effectively. Not I do not agree with Fisch when he states teachers who are technology illiterate must find other jobs cause there are some teachers that are great without technology.
Overall Karl Fisch blog explains the importance of how technology can help advance teaching methods. He notes that you can be successful without using advance technology but than again it is getting hard which makes so much sense. Technology can not necessarily hurt a student or teacher but if used can effectively aid both parties. Within the comments people seem to be fore technology or against it.

Gary's Social Media
This is a amazing how in the social media section numbers increase so fast without.Facebook was in the low 5,000 and within in seconds increased to the 25,000. This is a prime example of why technology is important. Technology seems to place the world on a plate for viewing. Nothing seems to be hide nor covered from site. Everything dealing with the social world increases without out a break or a pause.
The social media world for mobile i felt was the most interesting only because I'm a first time user of the Android market and I personally don't download apps much or log on to the web through my phone. But because of this I soon learn how to do that so that I will not have to get on a computer to do online or web things. I would have to say technology is like the cycle of life it continues regardless of what is going on around it. In conclusion this means in my profession that im gonna have to be technology knowledgeable to be in society.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftechliterateteacher%2Eblogspot%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded
As a student in college is a full time job and nothing should be above that. But college student lives tend to look like a food web. We attend classes, we try to have a social life, as well as work then, try to remain focus in life. Cause just like in technology life does not stop for anyone. College is meant to benefit lives in the future but when living in the moment the seem to take over someone people's lives.
As a teacher I would assume it would be frustrating. Knowing that you as a professional care about those taking your your class to be successful and they show little to no concern.how they would show little to no concern with chatting on the phone, being on Facebook in the middle of lecture, or texting on the phone. Teacher put effort into what they do, why should students be any different?

Blog Post #2
1.)"Did You Know"
"Did you know" by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod was an insightful video....it was so interesting how technology is progressing so fast. But i found it interesting that a foreign country like Japan would become the number one English speaking country in the world. The 25% of India's population with the highest IQ number is bigger than the United States, I kinda find that hard to believe. Now the topic about the top ten jobs in 2010 not being on the list back in 2004 makes since cause with time comes knowledge and with more knowledge means more power.
I personally don't believe we as Americans are preparing students for jobs that do not exist, I think we are granting them the knowledge to change whats around them technologically. Because that on preparing students doesn't necessarily make sense. That goes against Newton's space and time law. But on another note Americans do go through a decent amount of ways. Since technology is increasing it would make sense that online dating would increase as well.
2.)Mr. Wrinkles
"Mr. Winkles" by Mathew Needleman video was odd. I personally found it hard to believe even though Mr. Winkles was a cartoon character for him to be sleeping for a 100 years makes it very distracting. no if the character was in a coma then yes maybe. But then again 100 years with how society is today your lucky to be living passed the age of 60 with all the chemicals. But for technology not to change meant there is no progression and that there is no change in society.
But for someone to wake up and the second place without eating or anything in the past 100 years is so unrealistic. Compared to a 100 years ago technology was like caveman and dinosaurs. Modern day technology has increased over an over and is constantly increasing and evolving. For someone to communicate with someone one needed to talk through a house phone which evolved into a cell phone which then evolved into a web cam on a computer.
3.)School Kill Creativity
Creativity
The Importance of Creativity by Ken Robinson was strange.He made it interesting to watch with comical jokes. Especially about the little girl drawing God.But, I kinda and Kinda not support his idea that school kills creativity. His statement that when he said"If your not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original". That makes since, but then and again with wrong doing bring experience and wisdom. Which then brings creativity.
Being a former dance major I founded it interesting that in included the Arts in his argument. I personally find dance and the arts important and would mind if they were taught in schools like the other subjects because this brings more uncommon knowledge to light. The Arts will no longer seem like the bottom of the education system. "The whole world is in revolution", meaningful quote about world education. His word selection and word placement describing education, education inflation.
4.)Ceclia Gault interviews Sir Ken Robinson
Cecelia Gault (Young Student in Finland) Interviews Sir Ken Robinson was very educational. My response to the article/video is that I agree with Sir Ken Robinson. United States' fail rate is way to high for United States to be successful as a whole country. But I also poss the question if our country fail rate in education was less than 1% would we be able to give jobs to everyone who gain a higher education. I personally say no. Unemployment rate would most likely double. I believe that we as in the people can't have success without failure. The relationship is direct.
I think the reason some countries are richer cause their focus is on money and global statuses and other countries are focused on the youth and education. Finland seems to focus on the population's education system. Finland takes pride in what education does to their young people. But Unites States of America has focus or direction pointers to help generate the things to do.
5.)Harness Your Students Digital Smarts
Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts by Vicki Davis.Her teaching means makes sense, but my question would be do your students actually pay attention to the things you may be saying when your teaching. I would find it hard for any teenager to pay attention with social networking on. Yes technology is wonderful but attention spans on the average student is roughly 5 to 13 mins not very long.
I don't agree with using technology teaching in the classes as much as a classic setting of a teacher teaching in front of the class. Technology is changing no doubt but for the class setting to change so much when the classical teaching of a teacher has worked since schools were created. Education should be modified but not altered for modern day technology.
"Did you know" by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod was an insightful video....it was so interesting how technology is progressing so fast. But i found it interesting that a foreign country like Japan would become the number one English speaking country in the world. The 25% of India's population with the highest IQ number is bigger than the United States, I kinda find that hard to believe. Now the topic about the top ten jobs in 2010 not being on the list back in 2004 makes since cause with time comes knowledge and with more knowledge means more power.
I personally don't believe we as Americans are preparing students for jobs that do not exist, I think we are granting them the knowledge to change whats around them technologically. Because that on preparing students doesn't necessarily make sense. That goes against Newton's space and time law. But on another note Americans do go through a decent amount of ways. Since technology is increasing it would make sense that online dating would increase as well.
2.)Mr. Wrinkles
"Mr. Winkles" by Mathew Needleman video was odd. I personally found it hard to believe even though Mr. Winkles was a cartoon character for him to be sleeping for a 100 years makes it very distracting. no if the character was in a coma then yes maybe. But then again 100 years with how society is today your lucky to be living passed the age of 60 with all the chemicals. But for technology not to change meant there is no progression and that there is no change in society.
But for someone to wake up and the second place without eating or anything in the past 100 years is so unrealistic. Compared to a 100 years ago technology was like caveman and dinosaurs. Modern day technology has increased over an over and is constantly increasing and evolving. For someone to communicate with someone one needed to talk through a house phone which evolved into a cell phone which then evolved into a web cam on a computer.
3.)School Kill Creativity
Creativity
The Importance of Creativity by Ken Robinson was strange.He made it interesting to watch with comical jokes. Especially about the little girl drawing God.But, I kinda and Kinda not support his idea that school kills creativity. His statement that when he said"If your not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original". That makes since, but then and again with wrong doing bring experience and wisdom. Which then brings creativity.
Being a former dance major I founded it interesting that in included the Arts in his argument. I personally find dance and the arts important and would mind if they were taught in schools like the other subjects because this brings more uncommon knowledge to light. The Arts will no longer seem like the bottom of the education system. "The whole world is in revolution", meaningful quote about world education. His word selection and word placement describing education, education inflation.
4.)Ceclia Gault interviews Sir Ken Robinson
Cecelia Gault (Young Student in Finland) Interviews Sir Ken Robinson was very educational. My response to the article/video is that I agree with Sir Ken Robinson. United States' fail rate is way to high for United States to be successful as a whole country. But I also poss the question if our country fail rate in education was less than 1% would we be able to give jobs to everyone who gain a higher education. I personally say no. Unemployment rate would most likely double. I believe that we as in the people can't have success without failure. The relationship is direct.
I think the reason some countries are richer cause their focus is on money and global statuses and other countries are focused on the youth and education. Finland seems to focus on the population's education system. Finland takes pride in what education does to their young people. But Unites States of America has focus or direction pointers to help generate the things to do.
5.)Harness Your Students Digital Smarts
Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts by Vicki Davis.Her teaching means makes sense, but my question would be do your students actually pay attention to the things you may be saying when your teaching. I would find it hard for any teenager to pay attention with social networking on. Yes technology is wonderful but attention spans on the average student is roughly 5 to 13 mins not very long.
I don't agree with using technology teaching in the classes as much as a classic setting of a teacher teaching in front of the class. Technology is changing no doubt but for the class setting to change so much when the classical teaching of a teacher has worked since schools were created. Education should be modified but not altered for modern day technology.
