1. Watch Richard Miller: This Is How We Dream Parts 1 and 2
The SmartBoard presentation is a good example of writing with multimedia. I wrote out the questions we wanted to ask and then input them into a google form questionnaire. We then transferred that information we received from the questionnaire into a SmartBoard Presentation. I love working with Powerpoint and as of now, SmartBoard. It is fun and makes things more interesting!
I am excited about teaching and using multimedia in my classroom. Dr. Richard's video shows a lot of visual presentations and He also talks about being on the front edge of it. I like computers and the internet. I love watching videos and exploring different sites. As a future teacher, I want my children to watch different videos and spark up a conversation about it. I think it is a good way to learn. I am more of a hands-on learner, as well as talking it out. Writing for me is how I lay out my day.
I write notes for myself everywhere and I write them 100 times. The SmartBoard presentation is a good example of writing with multimedia.

2. EDM310 for Dummies/The Chipper Series: Theses were funny. I have learned a lot about EDM 310 on my own just by reading directions and also looking a previous students blogs. I have learned to be patient when working on my blog and not procrastinate. Some of the assignments take a long time to finish. I never liked blogging before, but this class has made it fun and I do enjoy it now. I think it would be a good idea to shoot a video on how to set up a blog and go over the basic things that one would need to know. I also would love to do a video on the Smart Board. It was hard learning how to work it and play with it. I took some time figuring things out. I know it would be beneficial to future students to know how to work it.
3. Learn to Change, Change to Learn:I don't think kids are not collecting data, and researching outside the class room via Twitter, SMS, etc. I agree that the classroom needs to change and adapt to the changes technological advances. I think the classroom is sometimes a prison. I know that some teachers and university are making these changes. The students I have to comment about are using these technologies and they are 3rd graders and up! It just makes it more fun for the students to research and it also motivates them. 4. The Secret Powers of Time by Philip Zambardo &The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
The PAST< PRESENT<FUTURE- I like how the video is presented. I for one am a hedonist, but I also like to plan ahead and gets things done. What motivates me? I am not sure.All I know is I want to motivate my future students to learn and love to learn. I think that a classroom can have structure and it can also be fun. In the video it talked about how school is a delay of gratification. I fore one feel a sense of gratification the minute I walk outta the classroom knowing I put in 110% effort.
I agree that students do not research outside of classroom. I know I didn't as a student, but I think if we find a way to make it entertaining and fun we as teachers will be able to encourage the idea. Whether it be the internet, or something that isn't necessarily technology related, anytime we can get students to think outside of a classroom we are not only benefiting the class when it comes to teaching, but more so the student.
