AN OPEN LETTER TO EDUCATORS

I agree with him when he says education and technology is changing and that this is not 1999 any more! We live in a world that IS changing we have to either change with it or watch is leave us behind! I think that this class is a key factor in helping future teachers UNDERSTAND that technology is changing and preparing us for what is to come, and what to expect from our younger generation who is growing up and adapting to this change from an early age.

ALEX (Alabama Learning Exchange)

I love the ALEX web site! I think that it would help me so much in finding activities or things to do with my students! I like that it is so versatile you can find activities for in the classroom or activities that involve technology and getting on the computer. I would use this website in the future!

MY PLN's

For my PLN I am currently following one of my teachers that i was assigned to for comments for teachers! She is an elementary teacher and i feel like i can learn a lot from what she does with her students. I still need to post a few more PLN's I'm still working on it.

My next PLN I decided to follow Dr. Strange, because I feel that a lot of the things he required us to watch during our edm 310 class was very important. For example I LOVED the ps22 video landslide! It was so amazing and if he did not refer that to me I would never know it is out there. I just think that a lot of what he has to say is education and most of it is entertaining.

Randy Pausch: Achiving Your Childhood Dreams
He is very entertaining he was able to keep my attention! I loved when he started talking about the NFL and what parents want their children to learn from playing sports. He is so right it's not ALL about being able to score the most goals or run the fastest, the most important thing you take home is responsibility and sportsmanship things like that "life lessons" if thats what you want to call it. Another thing that i liked was he had an odd way at achieving his goals! He was thinking outside the box! I loved all the animals he won :)
