This Is How We Dream Parts 1 and 2
Part 1
In this video Richard Miller talks about how the modern language has changed over the years due to the advancement in technology. Before you would have to go down to the local library and due your research there. Now you can just sit at your computer in your house and have everything you need at your finger tips. Richard Miller first talks about books then moves into the digital idea of books. Books can be destroyed and end up in the trash while digital books will never go away and you can always look at them as long as you have internet access. Nothing has changed with books or print media just the way we can access them.
Part 2
In this video the topic is moved from not just how items are printed but how the internet can enhance them. You can write something on the internet and with in months it can be turned into videos or embedded in blogs and start conversations and debates about it. Before it would take much longer to turn something into a video and if not everyone had read it you would have to find it and go read it to have a conversation about it. Now with a few swipes of your finger you can have it right there in front of you.
Both videos showed me that with the advancement with technology and we need to learn to adapt to it not fight it. Encyclopedia Britannica learn this and has now stopped production of hard back books and will focus on the internet version. Technology is just going to improve the way we look at things with a little help from our imaginations. The possibilities are can only be stopped with what effort you put forth.

For someone to come up with and idea that would turn into a assignment for Dr, Strange is amazing. I know that I could never do it. Dr. Miller and Carly had very similar ideas when it comes to multimedia it seemed to me. When I become a teacher I want to be able to use assignments to show the understanding and advancement of the internet.
EDM310 for Dummies.
I watched this video and I remember when I have felt like that at times in this class. The only difference is I did smash the keyboard and had to buy a new one. At the beginning I was so frustrated and wanted to quit at times. Its so much work to cram into a one day thing. That's what this class as thought me is to spread out my assignments and take advantage of all the time I have.
Learn to Change, Change to Learn
I like this video a lot. It talks about how the technology only betters education. Say you are teaching a class and you don't know every single detail about it. Go the the computer and use skype to connect to someone who does know every detail and let that person and the class have a video chat. The kids are getting all the details and learning about technology all together at one time. As the video said we have to learn that "Technology is not a choice". Technology is here to stay and we need to learn to live with it.
Scavenger Hunt 2.0
Puzzle Maker
I have never made a word search. I looked at it and found out the you can put how big you want it. Also you can decide you want people to be able to print it off or now. You can decide if you want words to use the same letters or not. It was very interesting.
Hey Alex,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good post, but you forgot to do some things. Remember you need a picture for every post on your blog. Also, on one part of this post you was suppose to:
"1.) Locate a tool that is similar to Twitter/Facebook and provides a social platform for teachers,
parents, and students. Create an account as a Teacher and write a paragraph or two about how
you could use this site in your classroom.
2.) Locate the tool that most likely created this presentation. Once you find the site, look at the
top right and click Pricing. Write a paragraph about the nice deal they make for students/
teachers.
3.) Find a tool to make-your-own comic strip. Create a comic and post a picture of it in your
blog.
4.) Find a video tool that you have never used. Summarize some it's special features.
5.) Find a tool to create a poll anywhere and at anytime. Create your first poll and post it here."
This is from the instruction manual.
