Blog Post #14
In Joel Kleins article,Teaching Our Children Can Be A Profession, he thought professionalizing teaching needed to be changed. The things he saw was not having good enough academic training for prospective teachers, how teachers got awarded, and how seniority was a distraction in schools.
He talked about we needed better academic training for prospective teachers. He thought the teachers's should have better teacher programs. I agree with this, because teachers do need the better programs that can teach them how to do their job at the best of their ability. The next thing he said was that we need a better approach to recruiting teachers. He thought that not to letting everyone that graduated with an education degree become a teacher. Rather then, only let top third education graduates become teachers. I don't agree with this. I believe everyone learns at thier own pace and cold be great teacher's at some point.
The next thing he had a problem with was the way teachers are rewarded. He thought you should reward teachers on their performance and not their seniority. I think this would work better.I think teachers need to be rewarded when they are doing a great job. I feel this will make teacher's want to teach better and have there clas more motivated to learn if they feedl they can benifit from it.
The next thing he had a problem with was how seniority created a distraction in schools. He thought you should get rid of the teacher's that were not getting the job done right besides getting rid of the new teachers. I agree with this to a point. Teachers who are not doing their job the way they should be, should be let go. It shouldn't matter how long they have been teaching.

Blog Post #13
In this week blog post we were asked to create our own blog post. I find that difficult for me to do, yet I will give it a try. I undestand that we need technology in classroooms. I also understand that it helps student's learn more and they can find so much more information. In What is Successful Technology Intergration it states how to integrate technology into classrooms. It also states why you would want to do it and how to do. I feel that it will be hard to do this in centain area's where you do not have enough technology for all the student's. I do feel that the classroom would have to be more teacher-centric because of lask of technology. I know technology is a great tool to be used in classrooms but , my questions would be how to get all students's on a level to get where they could use technology.
In Enhancing Student Learning with Technology it states that "We must not use technology just because it is available. We must use when and only when we can see how it will enable us to do the education job better" Herbert A. Simon, Carnegie Mellon University. With this being said I don't feel like we can only use technology. It has to be other ways to get through to the children to help them learn. All shcools and parents don't have access to the internet. So with that being said I feel that some things will have to be done different because of these facts.

CFK Summary for October
The first comment I made was on Tequairy's blog Fish-ish. This was very interesting because it was a picture. But, the picture was thought to remind her of her grandmother. I really thought she liked that it made her think of her grandmother.
The second comment I left was by TheGreatPJ and was called Blogging Challenge #2. This was very creative because he thought that he should get to pick all his classes. He didn't want to go to school and have to take common core courses. He felt that he should be able to take the coures he wanted to take. He had really great thoughts wanted school to start at different times. He wanted to be able to take summer break in winterinstead of the sumer. I really thought he put some thought into the process. It was a great blog post.
The third comment I made was by Hollie and was called What I Think Will Happen to the Fourteenth Gold Fish . In this one she gave great insight to what to she thought might happen. I really enjoyed what you she had to say. It was very interesting what she thought would happen.
The fourth comment I made was by Night and was called Finding Pounamu. This was very interesting yet simple. He asked question and put the answer next to them. I really didn't understand where he wasgoing with this, but it did give some insight. I think he was just answering questions atthe end of a short story.

Blog Post #11
We were assigned six different videos to watch, and then asked a good question. We were asked us, "What can we learn about teaching from these teachers?" All these teachers used Project Based Learning.
The first video was Back To The Future, done by Brian Crosby at Agnes Risley Elementary school in Sparks, Nevada. This schools class was able for every student to have a laptop. Mr. Crosby used these very well in his classroom. he really engages the students in their learning process. He did an great project where students had a huge balloon and they attached a video camera to it and sent it up into the air. They watched this balloon go up inthe air on a computer. then they blogged about it in their blogs.
The second video was Blended Learning Cycle by Paul Anderson. I learned that there are five E's. They are engage, explore, expand, explain, and evaluate. He uses these five E's to get his class interestied about what they are learning. I also learned about the acronym QUIVERS. "QU" stands for question, "I" stands for investigate/inquiry, "V" stands for video, "E" stands for elaboration, "R" stands for review, and "S" stands for summary quiz. He uses this in his class on a daily bases. This gets his class thinking about what he is going to teach about. He always has a video of himself talking about the subject, this gives him time to get some time with his students. He then goes over the subject, and reviews with his students. Then he gives his students a summary quiz on the subject.
The third video was Making Thinking Visible by Mark Church.This video the teacher was getting his students to work in groups. He asked them as a group to come up with a headline about a puzzle that they were working on. I saw that students need to discuss and interact with others with what they know. They will look back at this at the end of the year and see how their thoughts have changed.
The fourth video was Building Comics by Same Pane. Mr. Pane was teaching his students how to be safe, responsible, and respectful online. He allowed his students to build a comic using a special program on their laptops. I saw that the students made their narrative about them, and it made it more meaningful to them. When they were done the students were able to look at the other students comics as well.
The fifth video was Project Based Learning by Dean Shareski. I learned so much from him. He showed me that PBL makes students understanding about the subject being taught. I also saw that when students use technology, if helps they learn more by seeing what they are learning.
The sixth video was Roosevelt Elementary's PBL Program. This video taught me that PBL teaches students to think on their on. It really helps students with public speaking. PBL gives students the chance to make their own decisions. PBL shows students how to work together annd come up with ideas.
