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.
