EDM 310 Survey Forms
I asked 5 questions about EDM 310. You can review the questions at this link spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dC1UdnJpMXpTSzRUY2tVbGpIVFJnRVE6MA
Most of the people that answered the survey feel that they will have an A or B in the course. Only 4 out of 20 have used blogging before this class. The majority feels that EDM 310 would be better if the syllabus was more clear. You can review the results at this link https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=t-Tvri1zSK4TckUljHTRgEQ

Comment 4teachers 7-9
Week 7 Aaron Eyler is talking about teachers sometimes don't give a 100 percent in the classroom. I commented that its a teachers job to not only teach but to encourage students in the classroom.
Week 8 He is talking about the benefits of online classes. He says it would especially be good for the summer. I commented that it would make learning more independent for students.
Week 9 He says that we shouldn't blame today's youth for Social networking. Facebook can be used as a great educational tool. I commented that Facebook is a great way for reaching out worldwide about education. We should not resist it but embrace it.

Morgan Bayda and Dan Brown video
Like Morgan, I also feel cheated by my university because of long, boring lectures. Lectures can be beneficial ,but they never seem to change. Some of my college professors put information on a power point and tell us to take notes on it. Dan brings up a great point how in schools and universities, students memorize their notes and will receive a grade on how good you memorize "facts". He says "FACTS" will not prepare you for the real world. My favorite part of the video is when he says, "education is about empowering students to change the world for the better." Morgan and Dan both mention that collaboration with classmates is a wonderful tool for learning. I also believe that communication with classmates allows you to see their perspective on things.

I commented on Caitlyn's essay. Her essay is about how students need more time on projects. I commented that she provides reasons for this in every paragraph. I wrote that I agree with her.

ALEX
This is a great website that can be very helpful to future teachers. It lets teachers see what different kinds of lesson plans are out there. It is divided into six topics. They are: course of study, lesson plans, web links , search, podcast treasury and personal workspace. Teachers can listen to podcast done by other teachers. It also has a very helpful database.
I think this is a great tool for teachers to use to find new stuff to use in the classroom. The examples of lesson plans is one that I will definitely use. It is open for everybody to use.
ACCESS
This program is designed for students who want to take courses that are not offered at their school. Some students what to take college credit courses and this is one way to do so. This is a great opportunity for students to learn a higher level of education.
Although you have to pay for the courses, its still a great way to get some of your college courses done with. If students start taking college credit courses early in high school then that will be less they have to take in college.

Randy Pausch's Lecture
This was a very helpful video. Mr. Pausch brings some interesting stuff on how to work with students and push them academically in the classroom. In the lecture he talks about childhood dreams and how to achieve them. I found this part of the video to be quite inspirational.
He gives some helpful advice on setting goals. He tells the story on when he was younger he wanted to plat football. He achieved his goal and joined the football team. he later says that one of his coaches really gave him a hard time. Another coach suggested that he did that because he care about Randy. His coach just wanted him to succeed and be successful.
Teachers should push their students and enable students to accomplish their goals. Teachers should let their students know that they can do anything if they put they want it bad enough. Mr. Pausch brings up how teachers should set their expectations high. This allows the students to reach a higher level of education.
He ends the presentation by talking about how being an encourager is key to a students overall development. Teachers, parents and friends should be the best support for the individual. From watching this video, I've learned that encouraging is the best kind of educational tool.
