1) What is the central message of this video
2) How does the author make the case for this conclusion
3) Do you agree with his conclusion

I think the central message of this video was that you cant teach people to dance without them doing it. I think his point was to let people know that certain things cant be taught by just sitting in a class. In his conclusion it really didn't make any sense to me but I think he wanted people to think outside the box and do things on their on.

Teaching in the 21st century
1 Think outside the box
2 Let technology take its place
3 Get the kids to engage in learning

I believe Roberts is right in what he is doing. Teaching has change a lot over the years as well as technology. The way the world is set up these days we need better ways to keep the children active in wanting to learn. This will affect me in many different ways because I cant go by what I was taught in schools. I will have to learn new ways to teach and interact with the children of the world today.

In the video at the networked student it gave me a lot of insight on what I am getting into in this class. Connectivism is a new way to learn and help the student use some of the new technology's of the world. I really learned a lot by watching the video and I am eager to learn more. It is so much to do in this class that it is hard to keep up sometimes. The teacher is there for helping the student create this network of learning. The teacher is a guide so the student can succeed in the class and in life.

In the harness your student digital smarts video she lets the kids learn and teach on there on. She challenges the kids to learn and empower them to learn and teach the class. This is a very smart way to do things because she keeps them involved and wanting to learn more. I really enjoy things like this because these children are the future and w need them to be able to do these things.

In flipping the classroom I have never used this. I do think this is something that will help the children of the world in this day in age. If they miss days they can always go back and get the assignment and be able to get help with things they don't understand. It help the children get a head start on there education.

I feel that the bringing the locker room into the classroom was a very good way to teach at times. I feel that if the information is given and they know what they need to do it can be helpful. I do not feel that it should be used in all classes because some information could be false and not something the student should be studying.

1. What are the things (if any) you have heard about EDM310?
2. What fears (if any) do you have about EDM310?
3. Compare and contrast EDM310 with other courses you have taken in college or high school.
4. What do you think will be the most difficult thing for you in EDM310?
5. What is the best way for you to address this “most difficult” aspect of EDM310?

I myself haven't heard much about the class to be honest, I'm just getting to South Alabama and it was on my schedule to take. I have heard a few things since I have started the course and I believe that the course will be a little challenging. The fears that I have in this class would be that I can't keep up with everything. Although I'm going to do my best to do the work, some of it seems difficult at times, because I'm not use to the computer in that way. Edm310 is a course that is very different from what I am use too, because I haven't had a course that was this involved with computers. This course is completely on the computer, its a "green" course. I personally have never had a course that was totally "green".

The most difficult thing in this course would be learning to work solely with the computer. I know the basic functions of a computer, and know how to do some stuff with the computer. Although, I do take instruction well some stuff is a little more difficult to understand. But, I will use the lab to help me in anyway I need to be helped. That is one thing about me, I'm not scared to ask for help.

I. Who am I
II. Why do I want to become an educator
III. What does an educator do in their practice
IV. What are my passions

I am a 29 year old man with one child. I have a little boy that is nine years old that stays out of state. I was in the navy for four years, and I received my associate's degree from Bishop State. I would like to become an educator because I feel I can help mood young minds in a good way. I like to be able to help kids on the right path in life. Educator's help kids learn and teach them how to educate their selves. I have a lot of passions, one is to help motivate children to be better people in life, another is to ride motorcycles.

I have lived in Mobile Al most of my life. There was a period when I was in the military that I lived in Jacksonville Fl, and Seattle Wa. I came into the field of education because I was finding myself and evaluating my life and I came up with the idea to teach. I thought that was where I could do something that impacted the whole a little by molding young minds. In todays school I feel that teaching is being done with more technology. Some of the same points are being used just different ways of teaching them. I would love to one day become a school consular but that is a future plan. My passion of riding motorcycle is a little crazy I love speed for some reason. I ride a Hayabusa motorcycle which is a sport bike, it relaxes me while also going me a rush.
