C4C Summary

-My 1st classmate's blog I posted on was Trey Mohler's blog. His post was about his Smartboard presentation. He talked about how much he enjoyed working on it and what all he learned. I said I too loved playing around with it and making a presentation to show. I cant wait to have this in my future classroom and have all my students interact with it!

-My 2nd post to a fellow student was on Brittany Mitchell's. She did her project 9 Timecoast on dog treats. I commented and said that is a cool idea. I have 3 dogs and I would love to make some homemade treats for them!
My 3rd classmate that I commented on was Nicole Wilson. Her blog post was about Tom Johnson's blog, Don't let them take the Pencils home. She talked about how schools are only teaching children how to pass a standardized test and nothing else. I agreed with her and said I think students need to know how to involve critical thinking into their schooling as well as outside the classroom. Without critical thinking and other skills needed for their future education, such as college, the students will have a hard time performing in the classrooms and maintaining good grades.

-My 4th classmate's blog I posted on was Matthew Poirier. His post was assignment 14 where we had to teach some one something. Matthew did a video on how to blog and everything involved. I said it was a great video and I wish I could have had this in the beginning when I first started blogging!
-My 5th classmate's blog I posted on was JT Rawls. I noticed that he has not been on since February and has no other assignments. I didn't know what to do, but I just read his last post about teaching in the 21st century. He talked about how teachers need to help students learn to use the web when looking up information and not just expect them to know how. I wrote and said I agree that they need to show the students sites that are acceptable for sources.
