My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are Now Complete
I have really enjoyed being in this class. I hope everyone has learned about the computer and its different programs so we can all use them in our classrooms. I also hope you all have enjoyed the class and I wish you all luck as teachers in the future. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Week 13
I learned a lot in this class. I had previously from other computer classes learned Word, Excel, and Power point, but I never learned Access. Although it was kind of difficult at first I think it could be very useful in the future for my classroom. I never knew it had so many capabilities, but now that I know I will definitely use it in the future. I had also never used Publisher and even though it is just like any typical card program that can make signs and banners and cards of any kind. I think it has a much broader range than most programs. It was also nice to know that Microsoft offered a program like that. I think it will also be very useful in the classroom to make different things for my classroom as well as events!
I felt we learned quite a bit in this class. The work load was reasonable and it really helped me to learn the material! I have had previous computer classes and did not learn near as much as I did in this one so I was very thankful I took it. I think it is definitely an important class to take because of how much computers are used in the classroom, and as teachers we need to know all of their capabilities.

Week 12
iTunes U is a new addition to the Apple iTunes store. It seems this is a new way to education because it is easy and on the go and free (unlike music on iTunes). When entering iTunes U you have the option to go to different colleges and explore different areas of interest. Anything from Business to Art and Social Sciences are available to you to look at different topics that are in that area of interest. Around 28 different Universities all over the U.S. have put things for students to upload in iTunes U. So if you attended Duke for instance you could go to the iTunes store and go to iTunes you go to Duke University click on your area of interest, find a topic you need, and start uploading lectures. You could upload just one lecture or you can upload all the lectures available to you. It's up to you! One thing also different about iTunes you is it is available to anyone anywhere. Anyone who has iTunes can access it. So this is a new way for people to become educated about a topic of interest, a new way for people to understand things that they have never understood before possibly.
I think iTunes U could be a new and improved way for people to become educated on the college level. Professors may not get paid for this, but they are helping someone learn something they did not know before. They are educating someone on a topic that they may need, or they might be helping someone for a class they are currently enrolled in for another university who knows. The point is... it helps!!! Most people today have an ipod and carry it everywhere they go, and if they could listen to lectures over and over again they would surely know the material. I think iTunes U is a great idea for education and good resource for teachers and students to use. Teachers can see how other teachers are teaching a subject and take tips. Students will learn subjects much more than they ever have because they can access them from home and have them everywhere they go! It is truly a great idea for everyone all around and I hope more universities start to incorporate it.

Week 11
Today, every where we go someone will have an ipod. They are used every where we go and it seems like just about everyone in the world has one or some form of one no matter what the age. They come in all shapes, colors, and sizes and are used for more than just entertainment now days. Duke University has come up with some interesting ways to use an ipod in the classroom. It is called the "ipod initiative." Here's a link:Duke Initiative
Many students and teachers were involved in this research study. Duke bought about 150 ipods for some students and faculty to use over the course of a couple months in their classrooms. They found both positives and negatives in using the ipod in the classroom, but it seemed to be mostly beneficial to the students rather than not.
The ipod was used in three different music courses, spanish, and english. The students found many different things beneficial in using the ipod in the classroom. Things such as better comprehension for listening, more advantages for difficult lectures, and being able to use pre-loaded content and loading it themselves. Other courses used the ipod for different reasons such as recording, which I thought was something rather interesting. About twenty different kinds of courses used the ipod for recording, whether it was lectures, field notes and experience, or just sound and data collection. They found many positive aspects as well to using the ipod for recording lectures. They found it very convenient and also very useful in groups with peers. However, one LARGE problem with this that most of the faculty expressed concern about was the attendance rate because recording their lectures was so easy students felt they did not necessarily need to come to class, which became a problem.
So as we can see there are both positives and negatives to using the ipod in the classrooms. The students seem to really enjoy using the ipod for different reasons and so do the faculty; however, there were concerns about the attendance, which is understandable. I think using the ipod in the classroom would be a great asset if used correctly. It is something most students are very familiar with and teachers could really get their students excited and involved in something they are very interested in outside of the classroom inside their classroom as well.

Week 10
Dr. Alice Christie graduated from Arizona University and received her Ph. D in 1995 in Educational Technology and Language Literacy. She was a previous teacher until retirement in the past few years, and now holds workshops on how to enhance learning with technology in the classroom. She believes very strongly in integrating technology in the classroom and bringing her students up to date with current technology as well as any type of future technology that she can. She has devoted herself to a lifelong journey of learning. She also wants to do all that she can to encourage educators to incorporate web design, gps, and any other type of technological thing that will further the education of students in the classroom.
I think there is alot to be learned from people like Dr. Alice Christie. Her website was very informative and very encouraging. As a future educator, it made me want to learn more about what she does and see what all projects she participates in. Her encouragement in the GEOPA project I think is a wonderful thing! Technology is something that is apart of our everyday lives and needs to be taught to everyone everywhere. She believes that using any type of technology in the classroom just about will help us (future educators) in our classrooms. Whether its blogs, email, web pages, gps, or even web cams it can all help children further themselves in some way or another just a little bit. Dr. Christie may not be someone who is well known, but she is definetely someone that is recognizable for what all she is done, and is currently doing. Everything that she encourages is the way of the future, and educators need to take her advice by using tools in the classroom that she suggests!

Week 9
This little article made me even more cautious than I already am about using definitions or articles on the site.I have always been warned about Wikipedia especially in college, but I never thought it was actually edited by so many people. Reading this article made me even more weary about even considering the information that I read on Wikipedia. It seems like because the site is used so frequently it would be one of the most up to date and valid cites, but apparently that is not true.
A man named Virgil Griffith traced the IP addresses back to computers to see who was editing some of the information on the site and it turned out to be some people that most would not expect. Who is to say that some of the topics are not just strictly opinions from some of the corporations listed from Griffith's list like Diebold, Pfizer, Exxon Mobil, and Walmart. The Democratic Party, Republican Party, the CIA, and even Churches are also editing information on the site. People use this information on papers and in research and it is not even close to valid. I hope that more articles like this one start to surface to make people in college and high school more aware of who may be editing the information on Wikipedia, and what kind of information they may be getting on the site.

Week 8
I chose November's topic "Why Wireless" to read about this week and I found it rather interesting. Arapahoe High school has made its entire school wireless and open for all of its students. While they see this as an advantage I can also see how it could be a disadvantage as well. It does makes sense why they did it for their students so they could start checking grades, having more access to databases, access to information on the internet, and logging into what their teacher's have for them. However, I also see the other concern the loss of concentration of the students. This is why Mr. Fischer wrote this large letter for parents. He explains why this is such a good idea and why they should accept this. This bulletin/letter was very informative and would have made a lot of sense for a parent, and after reading it they should have been more accepting of the idea of wireless internet at a Arapahoe.
I personally feel that this would be a good idea for schools, but it should be limited. I would welcome this as a future teacher because I know the internet is the way of the future and many students need more access to the internet. All students do not have access at home and having it at school would give every student the advantage to access all that they need at school. I feel wireless would be a wonderful asset to most schools if it was regulated and students knew there were regulations and policies.

Week 7
Fischer's is completely right for having the opinion of educator's being technologically "educated." It is about time for educator's to become technologically advanced. I agree with Fischer that people should be embarrassed by the fact they do not know anything about technology today especially if they are a teacher. Teacher's should be required to know something about technology and intergrating it into their classroom. It is, after all, what everything is based on in our world today and the kids future depends on it!
I agree with him completely about it we should stop being so nice for the qualifications for jobs as well. If they do not know how to type and work a computer and its applications they should not be able to be a teacher. The kids in the classrooms future truly depends on what we know as teachers, and we should all know how to work these machines as well as others. I think something should be done about this just like Fischer said. We should step up to the plate and stop living in the past, and make sure our qualifications are up to date because we have to may things at stake.

Web Accessibility and Adaptive Technology
I greatly admire Mr. Sullivan for what he did tonight. His presentation really taught me that there are more tools out there than I realized for the blind. I also had no idea there were as many programs and things to make things so much easier to see and to help them read. I think him talking about what tools are available such as JAWS, Voice Note, and Magic to people who do not know about them will give them more hope for their every day lives.

Week 6
I think blogging is such a wonderful thing for students to communicate with. I found two interesting blog sites. The first one had access to many different school's blogs. It had access to blogs from the United States, China, England, and just about anywhere in the world you could think of. It gave links to blogs, and also gave quick profiles of the classroom and age of the students. This website is something students from different countries could also communicate over. One of the sites showed a conversation between a high school in the United States and one in China. It was very interesting to see how many conversations they had and what they talked about. The link to the site is here : http://www.epals.com/index.tpl
The second site was Gary Cole's 8th grade Humanities class blog. It had links to all the student's blogs, told all about Humanities, had their assignments, and different links to different sites to help them out with topics. It was interesting to see how the kids in this class who are in New Delhi, India work similiarly to the kids in the United States. Humanities seemed to have about the same concepts as it does here in the United States, however, this class seemed more about different history. The link to the site is here: http://mrcoyle.edublogs.org/about-humanities/

Week 5
I thought this was very interesting. I did not realize how many teachers were using the internet and blogs in their classroom today. I think it is a wonderful thing, but I never realized how much it was actually happening.
This was the first site I found: http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=676161&blogger_id=187221
This site was a 9th grade Science class that had posts about the homework and what all had been done that particular day and references for students who needed them. I think this could be very helpful for any student that maybe did not quite understand the lecture or possibly missed a day in class. It also had a link to Mr. Collins' wikispace, which I also found very interesting. It had a discussion board and links to different sites for his students about science topics. It also told about him and what he does and what all he teaches. Mr. Collins' blog and wiki were both very informative and helpful for his students in my opinion, and I believe they were a great addition to his classroom.
The second site I found was a true find for me it truly touched my heart seeing all their little things and what was going on in the classroom.
http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337
This site was so sweet it had the accomplishments of all of Mrs. Cassidy's first grader's. It showed what they made on H day and W day and this day and that day. Every student was so proud, and I think that it is very important for students to see their accomplishments as well as their parents to see their accomplishments. This blog was a good idea for these young children because their parents or older siblings can log on and see what they are doing every day and see what they are accomplishing. This particular teacher posted mostly videos, but some pictures. Here are some of the pictures she posted.
I found quite a few sites of mostly middle school to high school blogs, but the elementary school blogs were truly the best. Most of the upper level blogs included feedback from whatever they had talked about that week, or a question the teacher had posed, or something of that nature. All of the students in the classroom had to respond to the question or post some sort of comment about the topic. The elementary blogs were truly heart warming. They were full of pictures from field trips and their accomplishments as well as encouraging words. I think this is a wonderful idea for teachers to put on the internet for their students. It keeps their students thinking about topics they have discussed previously and it lets them interact with each other on the computer, which is something students love to do today.

Week 4
This video really made me realize how much our world has advanced in the past few decades. Our world today advances daily it seems, and it does make one wonder what it will be like in the near future, or what it will be like for the next generation to come. It seems today facebook, myspace, and blogging is the way to communicate who you are and how you live your life instead of the old fashioned one on one getting to know each other. You can almost tell more about a person through their personal internet space than you can getting to know them in person, which is also why we have so many newly found couples who have met over the internet. Another way of the new decade that advances constantly is the cell phone and its capabilities. The video states more people send text messages daily than they do just about anything else. You can now get on the internet through your cell phone, you can access email, and you can reach anyone anywhere through your cell phone, but do we really know how much further technology can go or how advanced it really is.
This video made me wonder if I was being exposed to everything I could be exposed to in the technology field to further my education, or just increase my thought process. I feel I have had plenty of advantage in technology in my college career, but I know that there are more high-tech things out there that I could have been exposed to throughout my previous educational career. I hope to see a change in Alabama's schools soon with technology. Not every school is advanced as the other, but some do not have enough computers for the students to use daily, which I think is a sad situation in today's world. I realize funding is a large part of the problem, but it seems like educators would really try and push for more technology in their schools. Technologically advanced gadgets, online classes, and communication through the computer really is the way of the future, and most realize that students today need to be exposed to every piece of technology they can be. I hope as a future educator programs like ACCESS and ALEX will all be used wisely, and more programs will began to start up to further our children's education. It is important to me that I know everything I can about technology and how to work a computer because before long I know everything will be placed on the computer. So I truly hope for the future generations that we start taking action and advance things in the education field.

ACCESS
ACCESS is an internet-based program that will provide the way for the future for education in Alabama. This program will offer distance learning options that Alabama has never had before. Many new and improved course offerings will began to be offered through this program and help to provide a much better education for students statewide in Alabama. This program will provide many new features to the high schools such as AP courses, advanced placement courses, additional course offerings, and provide teachers with new resource tools. ACCESS will be a new way for students to reach new levels of high expectations, and be a great incorporation into high schools.
The ACCESS program will not only bring new things into the high schools it will bring a number of things into the classroom such as resources and distance learning. Teacher's will have to incorporate new learning tools into their classrooms as well as learn about new and improved software for the resources that are available because of this program. This will open up new opportunities for learning in the classroom, and hopefully the students will adapt to distance learning. This type of learning will provide a way for students and teachers to communicate with other students taking the same courses through technology resources. Distance learning, I believe, will be the way of the future, and I am so glad Alabama has incorporated ACCESS into our educational program.
I believe ACCESS is something that Alabama needed for its high schools. It is opening up many new opportunities for students in Alabama's public schools, and will hopefully bring most schools up to date with the newest technology. If I were teaching high school I would love to be apart of the ACCESS program because I truly believe this is one of the best things Alabama has brought into its educational program.

ALEX
The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a very helpful online resource center. It will help students, teachers, parents, and administrators use different tools to improve the quality of the learning process. ALEX includes weblinks, lesson plans, interactive resources, professional development, and other tools that will help bring quality learning into the classroom. It also offers a personal workspace option, and also gives teachers the options to communicate with other teachers to help improve lesson plans and bring more resources into their classrooms.
This program is full of information that is useful for teachers, parents, and students. Every option available to students gives them a different opportunity that will help to improve their education. They will understand more about their subject matter and broaden their knowledge. ALEX also offers information about ACCESS, and helps you to realize these two programs can go hand in hand. Distance learning is the way of the future, and the ALEX program supports distance learning.
I believe this program will be very useful to me while I am teaching. Online resources are a must for success in teaching today, and advice from other teachers will be something I will take to heart in my first couple of years. This program will be helpful to my students and parents in succeeding not just in my classroom, but in the future.

First Post
Hey everyone! My name is Christina Eddins and I am 19 years old and I am a sophomore here at South Alabama. I am majoring in Elementary Education and I hope to teach first grade. I am from the small town of Satsuma, where everybody knows everybody, but even though I hate it at times I would not trade it for the world. There is a lot to say about small town people. :)
Changes...
Here lately, my life has been a little bit of a world wind I guess you would say. My boyfriend found out last November that he had cancer, and has been battling it for the past 8 months. This "bad news" has changed my life in more ways than one.
It has made me a much stronger person, and has made me appreciate things much more than I have ever appreciated anything in my life. He recently had a stem cell transplant and was in Houston, Texas for 3 months, which was also something that taught me a lot. We had never been apart for more than a week before then, and it was truly the most challenging thing I've ever faced in my life with the condition he was in and being five hundred miles apart. So life has been a little bit crazy for me, but he has recently come home, and is getting stronger everyday.
My major...
I chose Elementary Education because I have always loved working with kids, and I want to make a difference in a child's life everyday. I know that may sound cliche, but it is something I have always wanted to do because I have grown up in the "teaching environment" and I cannot wait to be a teacher and I have my OWN classroom and make some sort of difference!
