1.During the video the students never did any dancing the professor always stood behind the desk and showed demonstration of certain moves as he went through the power point. This shows bad teaching skills because if the students never see what you or doing or participate in something than they will never learn. At the end of the term Mr. Dancealot asked each student to show what they have learned throughout the course, but none of the students could show him because he did not teach them anything. No I do not agree with Mr. Danceolot conclusion because you cannot test students on something you have not shown them how to do at least once so they may attempt to try. 2. Teaching in the 21st century tells us as educators that teaching should be focused on teaching students skills that they can use on a daily basis. The skills needs to show how deal with problem solving day to day situations like homework and daily work at home. Thesis -Teaching curriculum should consist of being able to assist student with daily activities, being able to teaching technology, and mainly just basic skills. Argument- Teaching those basic skills will help each child to be able to learn more as they older and would one day want to get a professional job. Each teacher has different methods of teaching and each method is changing every day. As an educator I must come up with my own ways so that those children can learn and not get bored with my teaching. Every day is a new day and as children use the internet, face book, twitter, YouTube, etc. as an educator I must prepare them how to use technology. 3. Becoming a networker is a hard thing to do, you must be careful about what information you are considering using off certain websites because not all information on each website is true. Anybody can make a website and put information and you may think it’s true. So you will all ways need a teacher or someone to show you how thing go because they can make sure you are on the right track on becoming a good networker. 4. I love the way Vickie Davis is teaching her students. Davis is helping them learn and be open minded, showing them that it is more ways to learn than using pencil and paper. I also like that each group take turns showing the class what they have learned for the week; by doing that they are not only teaching themselves but teaching Ms. Davis also. 5. I was totally shocked when I watched the video and Elementary schools were 100% leading the race in education. I am an undergraduate and I would have thought graduate students would be leading but I was wrong I am guessing it is because the elementary schools have more technology than college students. 6. Yes flipping the classroom is new to me. I think this could save a lot of time in the classroom. All you would have to do is review the lesson and put each student into groups and discuss what the lesson was about. This would be useful and not overwhelming each day. 7. As I was reading I realized that you must have different ways to teach children not all children learn the same way. So finding new techniques and strategies on each topic, like group discussion, will help the children learn better and remember what they have learned and understand the topic more.

My name is Arneetia J. Johnson. I am a Junior at the University of South Alabama currently seeking a profession in Elementary Education and Special Education. My dreams of becoming an educator are founded upon the principles of following in my Grandmother's footsteps. I enjoyed her passion of making children learn and smile in a certain way to where they thrived to see another day of attending school. While growing up, I admired her work so much that I am pursuing to become a teacher. That I may too be able to encourage and motivate young children to enjoy learning. As an Elementary Educator, one developes a creative lesson plan for students varying in grades K-6. The lesson plan includes topics such as English, Language, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and Reading that may draw the children to enjoy learning and carry onto the next grade level. A math plan that may be put into place may consist of breaking into groups and using flash cards along with a timer to practice speed and accuracy. The educator must also attend faculty meetings, car duty (ensure safety), summer seminars, etc to establish a loving environment for the students throughout the school year.

1. What are the things (if any) you have heard aboout edm 310? -Well since this is my first semester at the University of South Alabama, I have not heard any comments about edm 310 coming into the course. Throughout the first week of class, a fellow student mentioned that one must submit work on time as it shows responsibility and one's professionalism to comlete tasks in a timely manner. 2. What fears (if any) do you have about edm 310? -I currently do not have any fears in regards to edm 310; it is a class that I must take day by day...week by week until the end of the semester while gathering new knowledge that I may use to further expand my skill set to pursue of educator's certificate. 3. Compare and contrast edm 310 with any other course you may have taken in high school or college. - In high school, I took a technology that is similiar to edm 310. The course taught students to create online sites, posting pictures, and graphic designs. The only difference is the teacher provided students with a book of instruction rather than totally online. 4. What will be the most difficult thing in edm 310? - The most difficult aspect of edm 310 is dedicating 9 hours each week as well as completing other course work material and working. 5. What is the best way to address the "most difficult" aspect of edm 310? -The best way to address the most difficult aspect of edm 310 is to learn time management and become more organized (i.e. calender). 6. What questions do you have about edm 310? What idea do you have about how to address the questions above? - At the present moment, I do not have any further question. I am sure as the course progresses questions will arise and I will address those by emailing professor in a timely manner so that I may submit work on time.
