BLOG #3

Linda Hunter Blog #3 Assignment
What is Peering Editing? Video:
After watching several videos on Peer Editing, it helps me to understand the quality of each assignment that I am posting to my Blog. It help to understand that others students will be proof reading them all over the world and even in the classrooms here at University of South Alabama EDM310.
Therefore, when you or I type, texted, twitted or emails others be sure that all of correct grammar are being used, proper punctuations is being placed in the appropriate position and please proof read your own writing before posting it for the world to see it.
Even it meaning using the Spell Check system, which is program on your technology devices, going back to old fashion ways and pick up a Dictionary to look up the meaning of words, using the on-line Dictionary which is located on Google, Yahoo or any other Internet Server, they will help to structure your sentences and organization your very our train of thoughts, before placing into a Blog, Twitter or email.
Many people are making several mistakes in writing their papers, posting their assignments, sending out emails or even writing information on paper. According to this video some of them were: Not using correct grammar, using too many periods within a sentence or even not giving enough positive feedback to their peers.
After reading my C4C classmate: Ashley Fallo Blog Assignment #2; I posting several nice comments about her writing style on her blog and commented about how well organized her writing were.
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.

  1. Hey Linda,

    I like the content of your post and the summary that you gave at the end. It helps to show the closer of your post.

    You said: "Technology in Special Education classrooms is becoming one of the most essential parts for students with learning abilities or students with Autism,..." Did you mean to say "disabilities" and not "abilities"?

    You also said: "With students that has Autism or any kind of special disabilities,..." Instead of "has", you should right "have".

    Since you don't have any links on your post or a picture, I think that you should come by the lab and let one of us (the lab assistants) help you figure this out.

    Thanks,

    Stephen Akins

  2. Hey Linda,
