Blog Post #8

The videos,"This Is How We Dream Part 1 and 2", was truly mind boggling. Personally, I've had a computer/lap top/ ipad and all the above. It still amazes me that everyday, every hour, and every minute technology is getting more and more sophisticated. "This Is How We Dream Part 1 and 2", are prime examples of what technology has developed in to. I agree, writing has changed, learning matters, it is important to know how to research appropriately and synthesize what you have gathered effectively. Moreover, in order to demonstrate these relevant skills we should practice them. For instance, in the videos there were several examples of how Dr. Richard E. Miller used virtual books or digital composing to gather information and display it publicly. He used pertinent images, audios, and beautiful colors to capture significant moments. In fact, I really enjoyed the Dr. Martin Luther King example.Since I can remember, I was taught at an early age that high expectations is a priority, and that is why I found these two videos to be compelling. Dr. Richard E. Miller shows how there are no limits to technology, and it continually grows before the eye. After watching those videos, I feel that I would be great at creating collaborative documents, via internet. I will make it my duty to be an tech literate teacher,therefore, I will be skilled at multimedia. After I have mastered the process, I will then share it with my students so they can benefit, and began exploring and learning, as well.

Carly Pugh is an marvelous writer. Her Blog post #12 was intellectual, creative, and inspirational. It is quite clear on why that assignment was necessary. While reading/watching Carly's blog I began to admire the organization techniques, and how she allowed her words to allure you to read and watch the entire blog. Carly's technique is quite similar to Dr. Miller's multi-media projects. My favorite links that Carly posted were inclusion, This what our students deserve!, and daily activity. I derived a vivid detailed explanation of Carly's Blog Post #12, simply to be a good person, accept others differences, work hard, and be a positive role model. Overall, we can maintain all of these great characteristics through great teachers who teach towards these goals.

The Chipper Series and Edm for dummies was two of the most spectacular videos I have ever witness. The videos conveyed great messages to us they simply addressed issues that we could or would come across by being in class Edm 310. In particular, Edm for dummies had great sound effect. The Chipper Series has great lessons that can be learned, the easy way...if you watch the video and not try Chipper's methods. I would love to direct a video like The Chipper Series, and Edm for dummies because I feel that I am extremely creative, and to put the graphics behind it would make it electrifying. I can literally visualize my video...I would include bright colors, relevant audio, and my text would teach lessons. In conclusion, I will most definitely be involved in several videos of this nature and I will continue to watch other videos to enhance my skills.

Learn to Change, Change to learn was quite interesting. The video had various professionals speaking on their insight of technology and how it is no longer a choice but it is required for producing productive citizens. I agree with most of what the professional shared. For instance one person said, " We should produce brave children". I loved this statement because that is my ultimate goal for becoming a teacher is to help create, and discover all children's unique abilities.
