http://pespatrickt.blogspot.com/2011/09/fiji.html?showComment=1319663349674#c3466993954123726881

My comment:Hello Patrick,
Your slideshow on Fiji is very entertaining and informational. I learned a lot about Fiji and background info on the country and the cultural itself. I can say that Rugby is a little confusing for me but I still will watch the World Cup in any sport including Rugby. Thank You!!!

In Patrick's blog post he does a slideshow on Fiji's rugby team and the background info on the island. He tells about the two major islands of Fiji and the culture of Fiji. I found it interesting even though I'm not a big fan of rugby but I will watch it cause its similar to football.

my comment:Hello Zapahanata,
Your animation was unique, but very enjoyable. The man started on one side and ran to the other side of the castle. I bet it took a lot of work to perfect your animation. Great Job!!
In Zapahanata he had a character run from one side of the castle to the other side of the castle outside.

Galvin explains the reasons why he write. His blog post showed great honesty in which why I really enjoyed it cause I could truly relate to him. But unfortunately I did not think of the idea to write to help control how much I talked in class at that young age.

Blod #9 At the teacher's desk

Mr. McClung blog post (May 27 2009)
Mr. McClung key component in his blog post was to stay positive. He explain the importance that no matter what trial and tribulations that happen one must stay positive to succeed. He explains that mistakes are bound to happen in ones' life but to make the best of the situations at hand. Another key component is for teachers and future teachers to always be looking to learn from new situations and and mistakes. I truly could relate to him when he says that teachers are in front of an audience, and not in the mind set a teacher must perform in front of their students, but interact and teach to the students. He gives and example that teachers often make perfect lessons plans and expect the the students to just grasp whats being taught. Sometimes this may work and sometimes this may not work. Another key component is for teachers to have communication. I learned from Mr. McClung first year teaching that things don't always work in one's favor but regardless one must remain positive and always have the urge to learn cause we own to our students.
Mr. McClung blod post (June 17 2010)
Mr. McClung had a nice student say how much he liked and learned in Mr. McClung class, that's great stuff!!!But back to the topic at hand. Mr. McClung went from teaching 6th graders to teaching 8th graders and also teaching another two subjects. His key component was to adapt. He was to become innovative in his teaching methods to older and more experience students. Explains his difficulties and how he changed and manipulated his self in becoming a better teacher towards his students. I learned that change comes when one expect it and also when one don't expect it but it happens and one must adapt and learn to change to to fit new environments. I also learned that goals are set for a reason so don't lose sight and focus of whats important.

my comment:This is mind blowing. Just like the young lady above who commented on your post I too have never heard of The Language Perfect World Championship. But the amount of questions that were asked is just an enormous number for just one day. I wish you the best of luck on your present and future competitions.

This Language Perfect is a way for students to gain diction and to build on vocabulary. This competition creates list and of words in many languages to also make one bilingual. I find this very interesting and very helpful.

My Comment:Great post Landen. The subject was very strange and kind of nasty, but I learned a decent amount from your post. Especially learn information about the ear cone that I didn’t know. That reminded me of Shrek when he used his ear wax in the movie.

I read Landen's blog about ear wax and it was nasty. The info given was very informational. I enjoyed all that he had to offer and share. I related his ear cone information to the movie Shrek.

PLN Summary

I just made a PLN. The PLN is amazing it has everything that you may use or in the future could use in one joined area. I'm able to connect to facebook, twitter, and other social network medias. I can see and how this would aid me in my future profession of being a teacher. This seemed to be the ultimate organizational organizer. I’m so excited to use it and apply it to my daily life.

C4T 9-22 continue

1.)How Would You Revise The Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule?
http://www.leekolbert.com/
(my comment on her post)
Hi My name is Larry Mcmillan. I'm currently a student in Dr. Strange EDM310 class at the university of South Alabama. I'm not sure I know how to answer your question. My father always told me that if I can't go into the site with him standing over me well I personally don't need to be going into the site. I would assume that parents would step in and monitor what their kids go into. Instead of relying on technology to do parental obligations.Thank you for you post.

I wasn't meaning to sound rude or cruel on her post I was only speaking my mind. And I am sorry if I sound rude on my comment.He blog post was asking her fellow bloggers what they think should change about Children Online Privacy protection Rule. I only stated that person should take more notice to what their kids are looking at online.

2.)My Thoughts From Education Nation
http://www.leekolbert.com/
my comment.I agree with you on every inch of your post. Being that I went to a private school I did not have the same opportunities hat others had in public nor did they have the same as I did. Bad teachers often just do their job and that’s it disregarding the fact doing one’s jobs isn’t enough. Those who do the bare minimum I can personally say are the bad teachers. Good teachers often use innovation to help their students grasp the information. No in the school system and in schools school are only as strong as their weakest component. Being that I hope to be a future teacher strive to want to aid and lift the school I attend and it’s self to new heights. Thank you for your blog post. I found it very informal.

My reaction to the post was that I agree with Geeky Momma's post and opinion. Credibility should be given back to the teachers. Not to mention is more testing better for students? Even with students are already in the position where they are not grasping the information. Now in her blog post she explaines and notes that some public schools were not able to explain or add their input which to me does not make much sense. In my comment I explained that schools and school systems can only be as great as it's so called weakest component.

(My Comment)This blog post was adorable. STEVE THE SUPERHERO was so funny. I like how he was not camera shy. It was funny how the superhero showed bad hygiene. WORMS was so cute. Her ability to no laugh was very impressive. Both students did a great job. Thank you for your video and post you both made my day.

The two students recited poetry on the blog post. The first video was about a superhero whose hygiene was terrible. His powers were his bad hygiene. His poem was very funny and entertaining. The next student’s poem was about WORMS. She was able to rhyme very well. Both students had great poems.

Blog Post #6

1.)http://techliterateteacher.blogspot.com/2009/06/networked-student.html
by:Wendy Drexler: The Networked Student
This video promotes students to be independent about learning. The narrator in the video shows what a student is capable of doing when he has the ability technology at his grasp. Students are able to promptly teach themselves the subjects from the classroom. I personally was confused with the idea of not having a textbook in the classroom as well as not using one entirely. The narrator explains that technology can be used for more than just looking up information but also for networking to find out useful information.
The narrator asked a remarkable question, why do we need teachers? This question is very important being the fact they guide students on how to properly research and find noble sources and information. Teachers are needed I would say personally. The narrator explains that teachers show their student how to interact and communicate with other teachers with technology. Technology is the route to take to enable technological advancement between distance sources and teachers.
I learned that that technology is a gateway to higher learning and communication. The idea of Connectivism I would have to say personally I'm not a big fan. With me being old fashion I like the idea of a teacher giving his or her students a subject to learn from or that he or she teaches. I can personally state the class I'm currently in EDM 310 is like Connectivism. Connectivism forces one to be independent and active. Connectivism seems to force to be more dependent on them than the teacher which I may say is a positive.

Welcome to My PLE!
I would have to say the grader’s PLE is very neat and interesting. This video kind of motivates me to design and upgrade my blogger to bring more appeal and ease to the eyes for my viewers and myself. The video and narration was well developed. I learned that there is more to the technology of blogger than just posting. My blog post compared to her post seems to be like a beginners.
