See you guys later

Thank you sooo much Dr. Strange and Mr. Sullivan for educating me to the extent of which I believe now I am technology literate. I really enjoyed having both of you as my instructors and would recommend everyone to take your class. I also really enjoyed working with class E and sharing the many talents of myself and my classmates.


SEE YOU GUYS LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Blog Assignment

When I entered edm310 I thought I was technology literate until I was assigned to do so many things and had not clue on how to do them until I was given instructions. The projects I was assigned to do were very easy and if given directions a first grader could do them. I learned so much in this class and I am very thankful this class is offered and required with my major. If I had not taken this class I would not have been an effective teacher for my students. The best thing I learned in edm 310 would have to be blogging. I really enjoy conversing with people all over the world and sharing my thoughts and opinions with them. I would recommend blogging as an assignment for students starting in elementary school because it will improve their education being able to learn and teach world wide. I also really enjoyed skype. I knew how to use skype before I entered the class but had no idea it would be useful for me at school. The fun part about it is being able to talk to someone and see them at the same time. I did not enjoy itunes very much because I am not an audio learner. I am tactile and visual when it comes to teaching me something but I do enjoy teaching others through audio. Google Earth was also very fun. I had experience with Google earth before I entered this class so I was not totally lost when I was assigned a project with it. Comments for kids was very interesting and fun because I really enjoyed reading the students post and commenting on them. Comments for teachers was very educational to me because I got ideas from the teachers I was assigned to on how to setup my classroom and handle certain situations with my students. I really did not like comment for students because just about every student I was assigned to was not up to date on their assignments. Before I enrolled in this class I did not have a PLN but now I am building one which is becoming very helpful to me being a college student. I learned many different new things in edm310 and overall I really enjoyed the class. I think the class was very self explanatory and I was given adequate amount of information to successfully complete this class.

Assignment for 04/25/10

The 7th grades PLE was very will put together. I can tell she put alot of thought, time and effort into her PLE. Her PLE is actually put together better than mine right now because I have not decided how I would like to put it together. I learned more about how to put together a PLN from watching the 7th grades and now I can build my PLN from the ideas I got from her's. I am glad I watched her video because I learned a lot from it.

The what's my sentence question is basically a question of who you are and what you stand for in life. My sentence is "I am Carlecia McIntosh" and was I better today than yesterday is what I strive to do everyday which is be the best that I can be.

I really found your post to be very interesting and educational. I think your way of having your students check their understand is great. Yes, many students are too embarrassed to raise their hand so therefore you have to somewhat trick them into doing what they think they are not doing.

Project 6 Skype Use

When I discovered skype I felt it was one of the most useful tools in technology. I love it. It has allowed me to communicate with my family that I do not get to see often it has also saved me much gas and money. I am now able to collaborate with my classmates at anytime and just about anywhere. I encourage everyone who have not discovered skypeto please discover it and put it to use. Skype is an amazing tool in technology

There is a great importance of posting your work to your blog. One importance is that your blog is world wide so many people can see your talent. Someone of high importance maybe browsing the web and come across your talent and at that moment you may become a millionaire. Another importance of publishing your work to your blog is it may encourage others to do the same thing which may help them in the future. Posting your work to your blog may also be a learning source for someone else. I have posted many of my works to my blog which includes a Google presentation of a brief history of my life.
