Blog Assignment #2

What Will Teaching in the 21st Century be Like? 



 1. Mr. Dancealot, by Karl Johnson
Mr. Dancealot

The central message of this video, was demonstrating modeling, audio, graphics, tagging, and PowerPoint presentation.   Professor Dancelot modeled how to teach a style of dance, referred to "foxtrot". Professor Dancelot didn't allow the students to participate in class or use any group activities.The lecture was read, using a cursor, to point out details of the dance moves, towards the students. The author concluded, Mr. Dancelot demonstrated strategies that initiated independent learning.  The students took notes and transferred their knowledge by visual aids.  This would give Professor Dancelot strategies of how the lesson was taught during his lecture.


2. "Teaching in the 21st Century" by Kevin Roberts
Teaching the 21st Century

Kevin Roberts think it means to be engaged with the students using tools, which can be accessed "anytime and  anywhere".








Outline: according to "Roberts, we must use these concepts to identify our ideas listed below"
  • Create 
  • Evaluate
  • Apply
  • Understand
  • Analyze 
  • Remember
Roberts argument show us "how teachers are no longer the source", in the classroom. The teacher job is to "filter". He believes that students must be able to apply understanding of gaining  knowledge, gathering information, and discovering other ways to retrieve data.   Roberts viewed how students learn to "create and think, collaborate, analyze, problem solve, research information given to them in the world." Roberts expressed and modified using tools, such as social media, and being a risk taker on virtual websites. The works of being innovative and creativity is vital in the classroom.  Students are explaining the sources and using web browsers, to explore many facts and information in cyber world.  Roberts expresses the way students can evaluate their work by using audio, video, and graphics, without anyone speaking.  The creative works of learning are using search engines, like Google. How far learning has come using the internet to demonstrate a random idea is effortless. A person may have or question to find out facts.  The sources used are on some many devices that we hold in the palm of our hands. The most common devices include cellphones, iPods, and tablets,, according to Roberts". The use of problem solving is engaging through our students. All the students elements of art, language mechanics, science, and math concepts are a challenge but can be researched using tools. The students are able to demonstrate ,clarifying, and proofreading , "reliable sources such as blogs and podcasts, using the techniques of videoing work, to evaluate reasons, of how something works.

The media is constantly changing.  The channels in which I take advantage include how widgets and design programming have empowered our lives.  After watching the video I understand that using computer programming can be done in a different light.  The spectrums of intergrading communicating through Skype, podcasting, and Google are imperative to validate things I take for granted.

As an educator, it will affect me tremendously. In addition I will be efficient on using all the tools. I will be able to engage my students more by using all the internet and social media offers. Workshops would provide a great way to integrate networking all over the world.

3. "The Networked Student" by Wendy Drexler

The Networked Student
Students still needs a teacher to ensure his abilities to demonstrate the skills learned are truly understood and that they are able to provide clarity their finding. It will allow me to "filter" the mechanics and content that the students are unsure of. Now the students can be able to understand how to develop reasoning, enhance their skill. Students will have the ability to connect and communicate information. They will also be able to share and solve information.

4. Movie"Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts", Vicki Smarts

With the Harness Your Students, Digital Smarts" video I will maintain a developmental method to research, navigate, and explore resources, given by modeling.  I will remember to validate sync, communicate with others, and find ideas to problem solve.  It can apply comparisons and determine results.  I will outline the information given and organize the ideas.  With that being done I can make assumptions and form an outcome.  The different ways of engaging networks of people can build my learning throughout.

social networks
Networks in the palm of our hands 


The thesis of Davis' video states and explains teaching digital information, writing, and sharing collaborative reports all over the world "using every technology made, to connect with people all over the world".

My reaction to Davis' argument is true.  The students must develop and adapt to teaching themselves many types of devices.  When the students gain information and can share it with their peers it builds a connection.   It allows all students to take an opportunity to utilize new software and be creative on their own.  The students showed in the video are taught without using without using paper and pen.  Mrs. Davis expressed how the use of paper and pen affects learning technology.  As a result, the students were not successful. The use of using the Wiki and curriculum motivates everyone to participate in brainstorming.  She provides the student with tools, vocabulary, and anticipate the learner to gain knowledge of what the term or terms mean, to apply it to the digital world.

5. "Flipping the Classroom"

Flipping the Classroom


Yes, flipping a classroom is new to me.  I agree this approach will be helpful to me as a teacher. Flipping a classroom is encouraging, because it models how students are gaining knowledge and giving feedback.  It takes time out of lecturing a group and never knowing if the information has been stored or whether any information has value.  Flipping the classroom gives me inspiration to build a rapport with the students.  Students should be ability to become with familiar different strategies of learning.   A  student  can learn at home by building background, practice, and by using creativity within technology.  Students can plan, asking questions, and model in the classroom. It strengthens the ability to develop the concept of using "innovative technology " within the classroom.

Blog Assignment #1

What About EDM310?


The thing I have heard about EDM310 is to complete all assignments, and you will be okay.   I heard to make sure I’m using Goggle Chrome. I have to take advantage of all the lab assistants’ help.  

My fear about EDM310 is not able to master a skill, using this new technology, in a fast pace.   My fear is to not be able to recognize the mechanics of publicizing all blogs, and getting the proper criticism, to be a better blogger.   My fear is not being late on an assignment or get behind even though I may reach out to all the supporting help.

When I compare EDM310 versus other courses I have taken in college, EDM310 requires assignments consistency, dedication, independent learning.  EDM310 requires numerous hours preparing in short time.   My other courses, I spent the same number allocated time and pacing.  When I studied my core subjects, the teacher gave bookwork to correspond with the lesson.  The teaching technique of teaching has gone completely project base learning. I experienced a lot of modeling, with peer sharing.   EDM310 and past subjects, share a lot of writing.  They both require proofreading and balancing.  All the subjects, I used a computer, but the operating systems have changed, which makes the projects or word documents elaborate. All my school life, I recall peer sharing and rubrics.   The rubrics are stricter now.  All  of the subjects have deadlines, but EDM310 is defined as a long-term job, and you can never walk away.  If you’re gone to long, you will be in a twilight zone.

The most difficult part for me, in EDM310 is transferring the lecture into my study time.   It takes me along time to understand what the information the teacher wants me to do.  It takes me to write, look, and see examples, before I can attempt to do an assignment, I have trouble, navigating between the screens and watching Dr. Strange, jump all over the examples or skills. The time I feel, I can do the lesson, I’m waiting for a moment, to try to do the skill on my own, before I can move forward.

I strongly feel, the best way to address my concern, is to consult with Coach Strange and see what methods I can take to stay ahead and functional to be the best at all the interesting technology aspects this class have to offer, in the modern world of technology.

I would like to do group or paired sharing to assist me with learning and retaining the skills, learned in class.  I would suggest an opportunity, to allow the student to test a skill, as we learn the foundations, before submitting an assignment for a grade, so suddenly.

My name is Chellyiss O. Nettles. I want to be an educator to facilitate a better learning
school learning
environment, for today’s youth. I have lived in San Diego, CA, for 15 years. I moved to Mobile, Al to assist my family. I want further my education, as an educator to modify, demonstrate and distinguish knowledge, among early education. I have been fortunate to be a product of an educator, my mother. I have experienced teaching as a paraprofessional, in the Archdiocese of Mobile, Al, Most Pure Catholic School.

 I was offered a position to teach 2nd grade. I enjoy the field of teaching small groups and phonetic awareness. It brightens a child’s mind, to know, you care and exploring all students character and learning abilities. I experienced writing lesson plans and teaching middle school Science, under a great remarkably educator, to science, Sister Shirley, in loving memory, she devoted her life to science. This was a profound to me. She was my mentor and I learned all the attributes of science through many forms. Learning is a continuous . It is tangible. I enjoy seeking many new ideas, from others, to drive the most thing to life. I have implemented how to incorporate social media and I do, you do, and we do, into daily living. I have traveled across a far to clear my imagination through the waves of oceans waves, to collaborate thoughts and reasons, the foundations to better a my life. Everyday, I took something very valuable. Teaching is my passion. The feeling of knowing I have taught someone to enjoy reading, writing, and mathematics, is magnificent. We encounter all these concepts, on a daily basis. Our society is moving so quickly. Education has become a major impact on my generation. I am a believer of learning.
