Kidcast/Macbreak Weekly/SmartBoard Lesson/This Week in Photography

This podcast is about some children talking about healthy things. This particular one i was listening to was about plants and how you raise them. This podcast is so cute. It was also talking about their outside lab.This podcast was better than some of the adult podcast that i was reviewing in order to do this assignment . This is will also let children understand science and have fun with it.

In this podcast they were discussing the software of a mac pc. Alex , Justin, Scott,and Andy sit and have conversations about McIntosh products and they was talking HD tv. Justine hates the interfacing.This podcast was really interesting to me. I don't think i would sit and listen to them every week. But there are people who is very interesting. This podcast has been going on for a long time, they were talking about 25 years, I'm not sure if they are talking about the podcast or the product.

In this Podcast Ben and Joan is discussing all about teachers using white board, and also how teachers can talk to parents. Interactive white boards will be the main topic of conversation. Why do you think we use these methods of conversation. This podcast also let the subscribers talk and say what they feel about the subject they will be talking about. This podcast is really fun and interesting. I would listen to this because it is about education and how we as teachers can make it better.

In this podcast Alex Lindsey and Scott Bourne talk about photography. The conversation is about Europe outlawing or trying to outlaw picture taking. They were being silly on this episode because Alex has been gone for a long time. They are saying they have a new job at data robotics, who is a sponsor for the show. They say that people in Europe are getting upset because of the pictures being taken and they have a debate about why they should or shouldn't go through with this law. It has not been made a law yet but they want to make this law pass soon.

Fischbowl- Cont.

On this blog Karl is talking about an article out of the Denver Post. The article is discussing how they are thinking abut a educational reform.He goes on saying how he is happy with some of the statements and some he doesn't.He is upset with the fact that we can only read the executive summary of the reform and wants to know why we cant see a free download so we as the public can see everything that's in the reform.

I don't understand why the reform would have have two pages of praises from the people who has reviewed it. This has to do with the school system, and people's children has to live and deal with the rules that is made due to the reform. I really do understand where Karl is coming from in this blog and i do respect his views.

Watchers and Listeners/ Youtbe for Education

In this podcast i found that the students sounded nervous and that it normal for people to be nervous when the whole world is listening. I think that this podcast wasn't bad at all. I also think that the topic was interesting. I would have never considered that topic for my podcast. When they were taking pauses i feel that they could have found a way to just say a little something. Having dead air is not all too great.
This podcast will definitely prepare me for my own podcast. The little mistakes they made will make me prepare differently for my own. The topic that my group has picked has more to do with me so i will find it easy to put my opinion in when it is time

In this podcast the students was very informative and i feel they did a great job. I feel that Dr. Strange shouldn't have to tell the students when to talk or how to start the education. As i listened to the blog i felt that there was more talking from scripts then trying to have a conversation with each other. Instead of trying to write down what you want to say try using your knowledge of the topic and just have a conversation about what you know

In this blog i feel that Karl Fisch is taking technology a little far. I feel that teachers don't have to have all the computer training that he has. Just because they don't know how to use a computer doesn't make them the target for people to make fun of them. This blog is not for the faint of heart.He is a type that feel that everyone should be literate with the tech age and if your not he feel like you should be charged to get help. I strongly disagree with him,but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The RCEF Blog

In this blog the teacher Pie has taken a hands on approach to how she teaches her students. the two projects from 3rd grade she wanted to highlight are :students investigating plants around their school and students creating a cartoon about snails. The students in the pictures are using their five senses to solve the problems that their teacher has made for them. The students in the pictures are really having good time with their markers. third grade science blog

STAX MUSEUM

In this blog there was a group of seventh graders who wanted to study the history of music. They went to the museum of American Soul Music. In the picture located on the blog you can see that the students were very excited. The picture also shows that learning does not have to always include sitting in a classroom and listen to the teacher talk. The teacher for this class always start the history lesson by taking the students to the museum every year. The museum is located downtown Memphis. This is a very unique way to make a student feel like learning is a fun thing and not something they have to do.Memphis University School

Mr. C's Class blog

In this blog the teacher was talking about how the class celebrated the new inauguration of president Barak Obama. This is a model classroom, the students look so into this hisorty making event. Some of the pictures on this class blog represented the future looking on saying that we can really be anything we want to be now. Mr. C also spoke on the "I have a Dream" speeh that Dr. King delevered some 45 years ago and it made me feel like this speech has finally come full cirlce. This blog is wonderful for upcoming teachers like me to see. Mr. C has given me hope that my futrure students will be intrested if i only put an effort into what i am trying to teach!! Thanks for this wonder display of teaching, this just reinforced how i feel about teaching my students. Mr. C's class blog
