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.

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?
