Mr. Joe McClung
Lecture 2008-2009
     Some of the information from his lectures was very interesting to me, some example of this message are: Always understanding your audience and be able to accept and expect changes within your daily lives and plans.
Talk over problems within yourself before expressing to others, you may have to repeat your point of views several times over, before some of your audiences get the message.
Always be understanding that your audience may not understand you at first, so be prepared to repeat yourself over and over again as many times as it take for them to understand your point of view.
Changes can be slow process for some and others get it the first time around and one of the main point of this lecture is open up your ears and listen for the smallest thing that your audience is saying to you and also become a lifelong learner with new ideas and information.
Lecture 2010-2011
            Some focus points from this lecture are: There is someone always in higher authority than you as an educator and some people will not appreciate your work or your ideals, because they did come up with the ideas or details and do not want to see you success within your life time.

Always stay focus on the little one's that pays your salary as an educator, because they are within your classroom on a daily base and everyone will learn to work at the on pace and do not do work for them.

Be able to accept changes within your own life and just keep moving forward, because others do like it when you become success and will try to hold you back and do not want to learn new skills.

            My own comments are: Just remember that every job is only temporary and you can be replaced and do not be afraid to move on, something else better is waiting on you.
Moving forward one step at a time will get you farther than you knows or thinks and changes can get better and better.

Part 1.The Networked Student, by Wendy Drexler:
This information from Wendy Drexler: the Networked Student.was very helpful to me, because by understanding that it takes more of being able to connect to different teacher's and learned to take control of your working environment.
By communicating with your teacher through video conferences, emails, twitter, blogs and other form of technology, they can see and hear from their students just what you are learning or have learn in their classrooms.
While watching this video a few technology terms came to mind and I decided to look up the meaning of these words.
For example:
1. RSS: The meaning of this word is to get live web information send directly to your own computer, laptop or cell phones from other sources.
<a href="http://www.netforbeginners.about.com/od/rssandlivewebfeeds/f/rss.htm">

2. Pbwiki: <a href="http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=ZmByB0sIPog&feature=player_detail page">
To create pbwiki or now pbworks, basely it is using real time collaborating between teachers and their students and friends.

Why does the networked student even need a teacher?
Students using the networked needs teachers, because they help to build up their network information, they can asked for help from their teachers, used Network Sharpo, it is to help students and teachers researched information for projects and also used the connected learning incubator to help post information with their teachers.

Therefore, all students should be able to communicated with their teacher through networking, emails and follow up telephone calls to make sure that their projects or assignments are corrected and complete.

Part 2: A 7th grader's Personal Learning Environment(or PLN).

By watching this video the students help to find information they need to research projects and have it  more organized on One Main Page: By using a social book marking of  their accounts, using ever notes to be more effectively in the research information and note taking, do peer reviews on other students reports and as students we can decided which projects we are going to do first.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture
What will be your last lecture before you passed on out of this world?
Will you complain about your life?
Will you say positive and uplifting thing about your life?
Will you wonder what happen to it within your lifetime?
What kind of history will you leave other' to about you?

According to Mr. Randy Pausch's, his life were to becoming a Imaigeer and meeting Captain Kirk ( William Shanter) from the Star Trek Television Show.
With his lecture his were describing his health issues and how his father would refer to the Elephant Man as a way of having a bad experience within your lifetime.
And to life with the many changes that life will deal us and how to become success and do not let your life just passed you back, but take full control of it.

He is also describing about his childhood dreams of meeting Captain Kirk:
<img StarTrek="http://www.startrek.com/database_article/james-t-kirk."
From this lecture I got some very important information about not losing you focus or your dreams what ever they are, to go forward and learned from the lesson that your dreams are telling or describing to you.

Mr. Pauschs were also showing some of stuff animals that he won from Disney World games, just like him I have some small stuff animals that have being giving to me over the years from my family and other friends of mine.
He is also describing of being a Imaigeer and my understanding of this type of person, they are people that has a Master Degree in Engineering and also help creates Theme Parks for everyone to enjoy.

Two of my dreams are to get my Master Degree in Education and becoming a Head Start or First Grade Teacher within the next Two years and also completing in a 10K Walk-A-Throne for the cure of cancer within the next year.
Because of what my sister passed away from over Seven ago and for all of the ladies within my family and my best friend grandmother also, so that they can do more research and someday find a cure for cancer.

BLOG #5

1. Don't Teach Your Kids This Stuff, Please? by Scott McLeod:

My position on the arguments by Mr. Scott McLeod is that this world in the Twenty first Century is changing around us on a daily base, with new technology and high speed Internet services providers throughout  nations and nation, connecting people and students from little old town of Mobile, Alabama to one of the largest countries in the world: England, where the Queen and King and their families are living at and to see one of the Largest Castle in the world.

People are using the services to communicated to other about living in Alabama and trying to arranged a visit with them, technology is changing everyday and more and more people in general is gaining access to it.
Students and the parents is using technology to communicated to each other, by using cell phones, video chats, face-to-face camera's and less and less through pen, pencils and notebook paper.

The new students of  are this date and time as Mr. McLeod is describing how Internet Services have taking over the ways children communicated to their parents, teacher's and other people is leaving impression that unfavorable comments and that their parents should not be letting have so much access to Internet or other devices.

Several comments from students in EDM310 class of 2011 were:
1. Stephanie Taylor commented that Mr. Scott McLeod comments get to the point of not letting children have that much access to Internet services and she also commented that technology allow students to become creative and connects to other location around the world.

2. Courtney Holifield commented that Technology has to be incorporated into classroom setting, because it is appropriated information on the Internet services for all students to research topics and it is mostly used by teachers' that is having their students to that information and communicated back to them for educational material.

3. LaVenia Curtis posting were very interesting to me, she stated that: "Technology is replacing pen, paper, textbooks and other material used in writing a letter or taking notes for class" and she also stated that: "If we monitor and supervised our children activities on the Internet services providers, it will help us as parent's to understands just who they are communicating to on a daily base."

2. The iSchool Initiative, Tim Allen and Travis Allen's ZeitgeistYoungMind 's Entry:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src=<a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/06YOePeUx4o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This information is interesting for students in the future, with the question: Do Technology belongs in our classroom?
I am thinking Yes It Does, because teachers' can video tape assignments for any students that have to miss class for a doctor or dentist appointment, they can view it through video chat or on a Podcast, this will make sure they that got that days' assignment.

According to both Tim and Travis video with todays' technology it is: I-Touch Apps:
1. Emails
2.Notes Application
3. Global Map
4. Formulae
These Four things are used in classroom setting for students to research history material, send this information to their teachers, takes notes and posted them along with the information about the location of projects through global maps and formulae into a presentation for everyone to see and commented on.

With these information more and more teachers' are using the I- Homework apps for their students to check and do their assignments for the week and it will save on time and the parents of these students can also check it and monitor and see that they have homework is done.

3. Jennifer Chamber's and Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir:
src=<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/D7o7BrlbaDs&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shock wave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></embed></object>

My reactions to this video  and Jennifer blogs about the video: It is with today's high tech technology not only students and people in general can conducted a full choir and have completed hymning throughout the whole project and have all of the students in different locations around the world.

Within this video and posting it takes someone to trust all of the student's will stay focus and parallel to singing the song in by way of the Internet and video cameras, this performing were on key and I think if all students will take part in a choir like this one, then they will be more focus on the assignments.

4. Teaching in the 21st Century, by Kevin Roberts:

What does it mean to teach in the 21st century?
Students' here in EDM310 located at University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama have being blogging, making Podcast, using Smart boards, designing profiles, taking notes and planning events ahead of time through projects like that help to communicated to others students and potential employers around the world.

Teachers can research information about different homework assignments, student's can used it to video chats to their friends and parents can log in and monitor just who their children are talking or testing out their  video chats.
Therefore, YES, technology in the Twenty First century is very important for everyone within their daily lives, it help them to become more organized with their time and improved their communication skills.
They can blog, asked questions and get a responded in real-time, twitted and posted video to You --tube's and other video sites and used I-Pods or their cell phones as a way of locating other students around the world.

In today's 21st century teachers and the student parents can clarify information about the students like if they are going to be out for a appointment, homework assignments that were to be turn in and also helps the students to located resources for the projects.
By showing children and people in general, that using the Internet services and their technology devices correctly it well pay off in the end with solving problems, having validate information, researching resources and getting clear understanding on just thew other person is communicating to them.

5. Reading Rockets: <a href=" http://www.readingrockets.org>Reading Rocket</a>
While reading and checking some of the video's on the posting, this article had some very important information for students to learned and get a understanding that if the challenge themselves and used their imagination and interview skills that they can be successful.

This website is interesting about students setting up interviews with teachers and other people that were interesting to them, for example: Mr. Walter Dean Myers:<a href="http://bcove.me/vo8cpsah">
Where he talking about how books has changed hiis life a over having a speech problems in his early years of growing up and his loves of reading and writing short stories and poems have being very benefituful to him.
He also talks about havinfg many challenging that he hads to face head on and were very success in dealing with them and all of these interviews were about people having positives attitubes about readign books and enjoying them.

When I become a Kindergraden Teacher within the next year, I am going to reccommend this website to all of my studnets to reading and listened to each video and posted a comment about just what to understand.

In Mr. Avery Science and Math Class:<a href=" http://mravery.edublogs.org/2012/02/13/mos">.
It illustrious the meaning of being born in United States of America and becoming a Great and Wonderful National Basketball Player, who grandparents were from another country and parents worked hard for him and his other two brothers to get a college education from Harvey University and being unsigned and not drafted in the NBA to having become famous and encourage other blog as students to achieved their goals.

For someone that does not follow basketball at all and not having any knowledge about the game, Jaden's Awesome Blog, were very interesting and had a lot of details about Linsantiy or Jeremy Lin, the player that graduated from Harvey University and were signed to the New York Knickers Basketball Team.
I like his blog and his teacher's posting about different adventures the students from at a museum located in California and how they help students to learned some very important facts about electricity and other science projects.
Both of these students did a Fantastic and Well-Readied posting, I recommended every student in EDM310 check out these blogs and other students posting and leave positive comments to them.

Therefore, video games are not bad for children to learned from they could leaved them to want a career as a construction manager, an engineer, biologist or as an designer of the space shuttle.
These are some wonderful and amazing stories or posting from different kids and they were very informed and well organized for everyone to see and post a comment about their work.
I am hoping that they keep it and make a career out of writing and designing blogs when they get older or in college.

Blog 4 PODCAST

What is Pod-casting?
Is it the new way of communicating for the Millennial http://apps.americanbar.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mgt08044.html generations.
Is it students being trained to not to talk to their parents or guardians about their future plans or having so many new devices to keep them busy communicating to others?
From the video: The Benefits of Pod-casting in Classroom by Joe Dale.
http://joedale.type pad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2009/04/the-benefits-of-pod casting-in-the-classroom.html


Pod-casting is described as having several benefits allowing students to communicated with their teachers, classmates, parents and other within their communities.
Some of these benefits can help students to communicated in way to everyone understanding their writing, post blogs to each others, get a better understanding on just what their teachers are trying to tell them.
1. It allow them to designs blogs in way that opens up a their creativity juices or brainpower to become much better thinkers.
2. It helps them to upload messages to their instructors in real time videos or receive downloaded I.M. (Instant Messages) or homework assignments from all of their teachers, due to them becoming ill.
3. It allows all students to creative web blogs and post information about themselves for future jobs in their careers.
4. In referencing to Bloom's Taxonomy from this video: I think it meaning to mastering the subject, predicted the outcome of it, solved the problem or problems within the meaning, applying the corrected terms or event to each problem, find the hidden meaning or information and then created new information and summarized it in your own terms or understanding for others.
http://www.coun.uvic.ca/learning/exams/blooms-taxonomy.html


These are just some of the benefits of Pod-casting from Mr. Dale a 6th grade teacher from L.Douglas Wilder Middle School in Richmond. Va.
Pod casting helps others students, teachers, parents to read and understand stories in the form of different events and it is also using today's technology like the IPod and video's to become better communicators.


Lang witches Blog: Listening-Comprehension-Pod casting:
What is Pod casting?
It is describe as broadcasting through a I Pod ( http://www.tech terms.com/definition/ipod), it a small portable device or hand handle music player developed and design by Apple Corporation, it using to play music or music video's.
With the used of an IPOD and a Smart board, students or an one in general can posted blogs or messages to other students, their teachers or even their parents as long they have access to the Internet services and also it is a device used by millions of teachers to be able to communicated to the students and their parents or guardians about homework assignments or any important information that they will need about their child or children.

Some of the information could be up-to-date- medicine records, when report cards have being send home with their child or children and any lessons sent home with them and the students and their parents can responded to the teacher pod casting video's.
Pod casting according to the article: Lang witches: Listening, Comprehension and Pod- casting: http://langwitches.org/blog/2011/03/30/listening-comprehension-podcasting/, it is publishing any information that is worth learning in different languages for all people around to world to see and get an understanding on just what is being posted.
By learning, listening, communicating and hearing different languages or words being put together to form  sentences, students that podcast will helps others to become comfortable in pronouncing  their true feelings or words correctly.

This article also express how it helps people or students like me to get a better understanding of the melodies from the sounds of the words that are be communicated or post on blogs or messages.
By video taping or recording the sounds, an statement or even a meaning of words and making such to edited, proof read and make the proper correction to a blog or post or message, before posting it a IPOD or Internet services, this will ensure that the readers are very well interested in the message.
Most students like hearing the voices or messages being posted into an IPOD or on to the Internet providers, so that everyone can hear them talk or write messages.

What is a Podcast? by Judy Scharf
In this article, she is describing how pod casting is related to using a IPOD device and Internet providers, to be able to become a voluble speaker throughout useful of the "radio style" talk show or in general a talk show host in Mr.Tom Jordon or Steve Harvey using them to communicated on a daily base to others.

Pod-Casting:  http://teaching today.glencoe.com/howtoarticles/pod casting-basics,
is designed to helps everyone to be able to very talkative in expressing our feelings to others and it also designed that we can communicated to people or students around the world.
So very important facts or tips to setting up it is to: Read and get a understanding of the software to be used, have more than one topic for students to choose from, provide examples other students pod-casting and most of all allow plenty of time to practice on setting up a completed pod-cast.

This information from all three articles were very interesting and some very important information about Pod-casting to others students and people in general.

C4T Project #3

C4T Second Project:
The second project is designed by Mr. Steve Anderson:
BLOGGING ABOUT THE WEB 2.0 CONNECTED CLASSROOM:
A BLEND OF TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION.
http://blog.web20classroom.org/


Mr. Anderson is describing how today's technology is helping students and others to become more organized with their notes taking or keeping up with the daily schedules.
The picture of and well organized EVER-NOTES, designed by Mr. Anderson himself, while he is helping students get better organized with the daily schedule at his place of employment, which is within the local school district located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
He is a DIT (District Instructional Technologist) with the district and he was the Co-creator of online students chatline called #EDCHAT http://edchat.pbworks.com/w/page/219908/FrontPage on Twitter.com for students to talked about anything and I looked on the website and seen some of the comments that the students were blogging.

Some of them were topics or transcripts were about:1. How do teachers know when students are engaging in learning?, 2. How necessary is homework for students to learn?, and 3. What are specific things we can do to involve parents in the education of their children.
These topics will get anyone attenation to go and check out this comments from the students and by using Evernotes, more and more students can take note about their our trained of throughts and save it to their computers, laptops, IPOD's, cell phones or any other technology devices that they used on a daily base.

Evernotes to me is a large organizated file cabinets with many different files that are labeled and hold information that students or anyone else can mainatain on a daily, weekly or monthly base.
Please check out Evernotes and downloaded it to you technology devices and it makes it so very easy to remember all things for your everyday life using your computer, phones, Ipod and the websites.
Several features of it is: Create texts,  hold and takes photo's and any audio notes from your trained of throught, places clip web pages including text, links, and images on to your devices, it synchronizes or places your notes in order across your devices for us to keep track of just what we supposed to be done or the appointment that we have almost forgotten and it also searches for texts within snapshots and images to help students or others to located the information much faster.


C4T First Project:
1. The Learning Brain, by Instructor Sheamus Burns.
The First article that caught my attentions were the one about Two Teacher in Canada that wanted to show their students flash cards about how they are ally with the LGBTQ organization.
This organization is the Lesbian, Gays, Bisexual, Transgender and Queers, there were one major problem to me that these teachers did that I think were very much wrong:They Did Not Get the Parents Permission to show these type of cards.
The students were only Fifth Graders and they went home and told their parents about the cards and in term the parents reported to the principal and the school board.
The principal and school board did not take any actions or recommending these teachers about their behavior, I think this were very wrong and they should have being recommendation with the proper course of actions.
Mr Burns also stated that the teachers behavior was unacceptable and the cards should have being tossed out or place in a thrash can and burned.
Mr. Sheamus Burns: is trained in painting, drawing, and printmaking at Brown University, where I studied under artists Richard Fish-man, Wendy Edwards, Walter Feldman, and Jane Masters.
His interests ranges from traditional naturalism, with emphasis on nature and the human form to pure abstraction of color and form.
You can twitter him at:sheamusburns

Both of these teachers have some interesting facts about blogging and organizating your informatio correctly and easy to used.

I did not find any grammar errors and the sentences structures were placed together correctly within her Blog.
Technology in Special Education: and How the iPad Works with Academics for Autism Video’s
Technology in Special Education classrooms is becoming one of the most essential parts for students with learning abilities or students with Autism, it replaces the time students going to classrooms and just sit all day and do nothing at all or watching what their teachers are doing or helping others to learned.
With students that has Autism or any kind of special disabilities, the new forms of computers, laptops, notebooks, smart-board’s or forms of communicating to other has changed in today society by more corporations like Apple and Microsoft programmers are designing different fictions that help them to better their education and understanding of thinking outside of their comfortable zones.
It help the teachers to become more patience with these type of students, have them to value their time and energy into developing a more interactive person and it also form trust being them.
With the new styles of I Pads, by produced and placed on the markets by Apple Corporation: http://www.apple.com/ipad/ios/
Some of the features of this designed are: It has a graphic program on it for the students to see information being posted in large prints, it is also programmed with soft keys touch pads that allow the students or any of the others students to be able to communicated with their teachers and it has voice recognition for the students to listen to the very own voices as they are completing their homework assignments or hear their teachers tell them the correct answers to questions being given on exams.
Technology in Special Education or any classroom settings will also help the students to advance to the next level of their lives and learned basic math, language arts and places different books for the students to read and understand the story.
Gary Hayes (Social Media Count): Video:
What do they mean for your professional career as a teacher? What kind of changes has Social Media placed on Education?
Social Media video is describing how words and meaning of information is being produced and changed every Five Second’s within a Ten minute span time and it is having more students or people in general have access to world wide networks, by adding information they wants to see placed on different posting.
The students and others are communicating in different location of the world, posting in Real-Time, Blogging information so that others can see or read about their lives and it forcing teachers to think about is this a profession to be go into, because they will have to proof read all this information and replaced it with their own posting.
Media only last up to Twenty minutes before it will be changed by someone else information and changes on a daily base, it has already changed by the time I post this blog.
Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today Video:
This video is showing how advance technology is taking over from the tradition style of teaching ion class room setting, where students have to used pen and paper and take notes, to them wanting to be other places.
It is demonstrating just how today’s Twenty Century students are feeling like setting they do want to use technology in their class room, from not using on-line internet services, taking exams, reviewing study guides and speaking directly to their instructors.
With modern day technology more students are finding it very easily to take class on-line, pay bills, send email and not real letter or notes to other classmates, this video will help others to understand that we are lost over Two Millions in students population on annual base and more than One million in Teaching positions to the Internet Services.
My own commitments about all of these video’s are they are very helpful to student’s that are multi-task with working and going to college, special needed students with different kind of disabilities, students that preferred to be seating in a classroom and learning from their professors and advance technology has come along way from the day’s of using a pencil and paper methid of communicating.

Blog #2

Video #1 Did You Know:Dr, John Strange
This video has some very interesting facts about other students and people that lives in other countries.
Facts one is that students in India and China are learning to speak English at a faster rate than Americans students.
The future of these children will have the ability to read, write and understand English and their own languages, also they will become faster user's of the Internet and be more advance in Technology.
This video made a statement that students in India has a higher IQ rate then the count part of mixed Americans students taking the same courses in colleges as they are.
I am just being to text on my phone, send emails, twitters and checking my face-book for instant message, when this video clearly states that more people in this country and other nations are sending Two or more hours just sending Instant messages from their cell-phones, while they are at school, work and within their home environment.

Video #2:  Mr. Winkle Wakes: Matthew Needleman:
Mr Winkle is a person within this video that wakes up and see there are a lot of changes have accord around him after many years of sleeping.
This reminds me about the story of Sleeping Beauty, by Charles Perrault, http://www.children story.info/children stories/sleeping beauty.html
This story were many different screens in which The Prince had cut through hedges and weeds to get to his future wife The Princess, after a wicked fairy put a spell on her and the entire castle.
She went to sleep and many things had change around her and this castle from people getting older, pots on the stove with food in them becoming spoiled and rotten and she being kissed by him to be awake after many years of sleeping.
This story is for all people and children to understand that there will be changes that will happen within their lifetime, just like it happen within Mr. Winkles time after he woke up from sleeping for near One Hundred and One years.
There will be new computers designs, new X-ray's machines that will show just how someone have a  broken bone or there will even be a cure for cancer, from the way people will education their children and their grandchildren, by using up-to-date technology to help them study for exams and take notes.

Just like the video  Mr. Winkle wakes up to find so many different changes happening around: New and Taller buildings, a hospital as high as the Twin Towers, people driving automobiles on the wrong side of the streets, street signs with a speed limited and one of the funny and interest thing he find is several people talking to each other through the computer with their face showing.
s-story-image.gifimage59.jpgThis video Mr. Winkles wakes up is designed to let everyone in the world know that time waits for no-one and changes are according on a daily base.

Video #3 Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity
Within this video Sir Robinson is speaking of people about becoming more creative with their own ideals and designs and communicating with them about how education will change things within their children lives.
He is also lecturing them on being prepared for the future and their children and grandchildren lives by making sure that their ideals and goals are being met on a daily base.

This information is important to me, because of the many changes I am going through within my own personal life.
From returning back to college after many years of working in the work force, finding employment at my age very difficult to find in the career I chose, comparing myself to others that has graduated with me over Thirty years ago on how their are very successful in the lives and I am just getting back into focus.
Therefore, if I stay focus on completing my education to become a teacher and being able to used my brain power to gain the knowledge of  my professors, then I will also become very successful within the next phrase of my life.

Video #4 A Vision for 21th Century
This video is about students learning from memorizes what their teacher's are saying and some of it will help them in the future and some it will not.
By memorizing information it could be miss quoted by others, in today's Twenty-First Century students are well advance in technology, video chatting, designing movies, finding information on the internet and they starts at a very early age like in Kindergraten.

I know some children learned by memorizing just what the teachers has said, I think that if students will takes notes and research information on their own, by using the internet, school libararies and other form of resources, they will find out that most of the information is true and creditable from their teachers.
By using computers and other technologies not just students can learned to understand information that is gived to them in today's Twenty Century of advanced texting, emailing and blogging so others will understand their writing.

Video # 5: Vickie Davis: Harness Your Students's Digital Smarts
This video, this video has some great information about being prepared for the future and helping students to understand that time is changing and it is getting faster and faster everyday with new and better information in communicating to others in other nations and countries.
There is a teacher in the State of Georgia, whom is helping her students understand and learned that to communicated to others is not just using pencil and paper or passing notes to others, it is more advanced then that with learning new technology terms and researching the meaning of each and every words.
She is showing them that more and more people are turning toward advanced technologies as a form of saying hello or talking in other languages to multi-cultures people.

To me learning different ways of communicating to others from texting on cell-phone, using Skye to talk to others, sending pictures in 3-D formates, creating a video in real time, learning other languages being spoken by other people in countries like Mexico, China, Japan, India and all over the world, more and more students will be preapred for their future.

These five video had me to think about the future of my family and how advance the next generations of children will be in communicating with others.
Did they do the same for you?

Time Management Schedule

Hello Everyone
1. My name is Linda Hunter and I am a returning student here at University of South Alabama.
This is my Junior year of classes and I will be completing my degree in Education.
Someday I wants to become a teacher in Pre-school or First grade settings and I lived here in Mobile, Alabama.
Some of my major interests are reading any kind of books from textbooks to The Holy Bible, listening to jazz, country and gospel songs from various of artists, taking long walks in the parks with my two female puppies to relaxed and also learning the different class assignments in EDM310.
During my free time after work and studying for my assignments, I love to learned new technology and how it will effect students in the future at the childcare center where I worked at.

At the center I am a Childcare Teacher and where I also help students from the age of Three years until the age of Fifteen to understand their class and homework assignments to prepared them for the ever changing world of advance technologies.
I returned back to college after receiving my B.S. in Human Resource Management from another university and not finding any employment in that field and I chose to become an educator.
I have Four brothers and Three sisters, Eighteen nieces and nephews and Eighteen great nieces and nephews and I wanted all of them to know that it never to late within their lifetime to get their college education, because it will pay a big part in their future this in one of my passion within my lifetime is to see all of great nieces and nephew get their First College Degrees.

2. From the video about Time Management by Dr. Pausch, I learned about several different important facts about it.
1. Ask yourself the top Three questions: Why I am doing this? in more case why am I going back to college?
2. Will I be success at it?
3. What are some of the 100 things that I wants to do within my life time?
To me I here people in general says make a Bucket lists of the things that you wants to before you passed from this earth and looking at this video, it on backs up the information from others about making plans for your life, you only have one life to live.
Dr. Pausch also talked about Doing the right things correctly and be willing to make changes within your plans for your life.
Planning has to be done in multi-levels and everyone sure be willing to take time out of their busy schedule for themselves.
Time Management is one of the most important facts of each and everyones life.

This is my Time Management Schedule for the week.
