Assignment 5

Wiki is a good way for students to discuss after class, teacher could also create a wiki that allow students to post their quesionts there. It could save a lot of time, and whoever is using wiki could use it at any places that has a computer. wiki is green also, no paper is needed, just add some word and thats it.

Assignment 5

I think I could use wiki in my classroom in multiple ways. I could upload assignments for students to complete on different aspects of education. I could upload instructional videos for students to access towards a subject that he or she may find difficult. Wiki can be ver beneficial for students

assignment 5

I think that a wiki is a great way for a class to interact. It is so much easier for every student to express their thoughts other than a class discussion. It is also much easier for a teacher to grade reports because all you have to do is log on to a computer. All in all I think that a wiki is a great thing!

Assignment 6

The website I visit is http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/dinosaurs/tguide.htm#1obj.
This webite has many material about dinasaur and it is very interest, the designer of the website combine the pictures and knowleges together. Which is very easy for students and other people to view it clearly. Resources could be easily cound and you can ask questions to other people if you want to. I would say this website is definitely good for you.

Assignment 6

I visited www.harmonicvision.com which is the site for the producers of Music Ace software. I enjoyed the game. I have had to use it in past coursed for education anyhow. The game is great for teaching music to children, particularly elementary students. It is extremly inforamtional and lessons are taught in a step by step process. Sound is used to explain the difference in pitch and instraments. On the Music Ace sofeware students are able to practice exactly what their teacher may have taught in class during the music session of the day. It is a good program becuase it is required for teachers to teach music in classrooms weekly. Music Ace could be helpful to teachers as well as students.

Assignment 5

Using a Wiki in the classroom can be an effective way to bring all students together and join in on a project or group assignment. Class lessons can be discussed and the wiki can be used for discussion outside the classroom. It is also a good way for everyone to see, edit, and review the same information instead of having emails with scattered information floating around. In my classroom I would use Wikis to keep up with needed materials, class group assignments, and files that the students might need to successfully complete the course material.

Assignment 6

I visited the website iknowthat.com/math/.html. This site covered math with drills. The drills made me have to think quickly to see if I had knowledge of math but also it kept the problems at fun level so that a child would not become bored.

Assignment 6

I visited the website for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is a very interesting and dynamic website. It caters to all ages with Student and Educator tabs. It has many features and news updates, along with daily articles. I believe everyone should take a chance to check it out. It is crucial for everyone to realize how important it is for conservation, development, and management of the Nation's fish and wildlife resources. You can access this all of this information and more at http://www.fws.gov/

Assignment 6

I visited the website funschool.kaboose.com, and thought it was great. I found a math game called Action Fraction which was a racecar game, which in order to win you have to get all of the math problems correct. I thought it was a fun and different way for students to learn their fractions. http://funschool.kaboose.com/fun-blaster/back-to-school/games/game_action_fraction.html

Assignment 6

I visit a site called the Council for Exceptional Children. It is a great site. I would tell everyone to visit it. I love my future job choice, and this site allows insite for all people from parents of children with exceptional needs to general searchers on the internet. The website provides a lot of information that is informative and important to all people. To anyone who is interested the site is: http://www.cec.sped.org//AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home please visit :)

Assignment 5 Caleb

In the class wikis can be a great way to get the students invovled with each other and let them not only learn from the teacher but also from themselves. They could even post their own instructinal videos if they wanted to and the great thing about wikis is that if anybody makes a mistake that someone else notices, that person can correct so that the rest of the class is not missinformed. Its a great way to share information with the class and to also make sure that information is correct since it will be revised by many other people.

I think that the scores recieved were very accurate. I am not suprised that my social and verbal scores were the highest because I am a very social person and I like to speak my mind. I do not like being alone very much unless I am studying, and in that case I have to be alone. I am not big on physical activites, but I do love riding horses, something I have done since I was five years old. I am a very visual person and love painting. I was going to major in art until deciding on elementary education. I am very happy with my results from this test

I do not agree with some of the free learning style inventory completely due to the fact that it scored me as very low in the category of verbal and high in the social category. I agree with the visual, social, and physical scores, but wonder why i did not score high or higher in the verbal category due to the way I like to repeat or say things that I am trying to learn out loud or in repetition. Though i feel like i do have a photographic memory I do feel like I use each of the tools almost equally when I am trying to learn or remember information or ideas.

Assignment 1b John Salyers

My name is John Salyers i am a senior with a major in marketing in the college of commerce and business. I could see myself using this blog in my education in many different ways. For example, i could use the blog to share information of the many different coarses that i have taked or coarses that I am currently taking. I could also use this to gather information by asking people who look at the blog about classes or teachers that are good educators. Some other ways this blog could help me or someone else with their education is to keep other including myself informed and involved in what the class is doing at the present time.

Assignment 3 Discussion

It appears that most of you agreed with the the majority of the results of the cognitive test and the learning styles test. Do you think this would be true for younger learners? Do you think cognitive styles and learning styles change? What do these test results mean for teachers?

The result is not exactly right, but at some point, it is correct. For example, it says I have good memory about day-to-day life stuff, and I am pretty good at it. However, I do not think I am good at time management generally. Although I think sometimes I can manage it well, but it has to be "entertaining".
It says before purchase, I would considerate a lot, and make whatever is the best for me, but sometime I buy some useless, so...I am not sure about this part. Overall the result is good, many part it matches and some of them is just somehow correct.

I believe that the Learning Styles Inventory was best suited for acquiring your most accurate personality/learning inventory style. I examined a much broader area of characteristics and touch base on more in depth questioning. I also feel that it is very correct. That is, if the person taking the test answers with complete honesty. In my situation, it was very accurate and helped me to assess the way that I should go about my learning methods. All in all, this test is an accurate tool for people to get a better and more in depth look at their personality profile to help them advance and move towards a goal or career that best suits them.

Assignment 3

I enjoyed the persoanlity pathways inventory the most. I learned the most about myself and I agreed with everything it said about me. I can consider myself to be introverted sometimes. I like to have personal alone time. I am always compassionate and understanding of others pain and concerns. I strive to create peace and joy for myself and happiness amongst people. I am very giving with out a doubt. If I have it I do not mind giving it. I am outspoken though about the things I believe in. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I enjoy being around people who have no problem being themselves and showing integrity and authenticity. I have a Dominant Introverted Feeling personality. I actually agree with the things that I read in the inventory.

I agree with the results for the most part. I feel like I'm a little more of a physical learner than the 6 would suggest though. The obviously biggest score is the 18 on aural. Although I didn't expect it to be that high, I can't say that I am very surprised. I liked the learning styles inventory better than the cognitive It just seemed easier to read.

I agreed with the results of both inventories. The high scores shown in verbal and social styles are correct. I learn best by manipulating words to learn information. An example of this was when I was in high school and learning chemical equations. The equation for Methane is CH4. I remember that by the fact that my hometown of Coaling has 4 methane wells. Coaling has 4 methane wells. While the town probably does have more than just 4 wells, I have been able to remember the equation for several years by using a verbal learning style.

Assignment 3

For ESFPs the dominant quality in their lives is their enthusiastic attention to the outer world of hands-on and real-life experiences. ESFPs are excited by continuous involvement in new activities and new relationships. ESFPs also have a deep concern for people, and they show their caring in warm and pragmatic gestures of helping. ESFPs are typically energetic and adaptable realists, who prefer to experience and accept life rather than to judge or organize it.

Overall, I agree with the results. I love meeting new people. I am all about experiencing life on your on and accepting things that happen in life. A lot of times things depend on a higher power. I like hands-on activities and I really do enjoy helping people. I've been told I have a big heart, even though I don't always think that's a good thing. Overall, both test really hit my personality and learning style.

Overall, I agree with the scores that I received for each of the different learning styles. I do learn and study best when I am alone. I tend to lose focus when I study with a group. I also believe that my scores for social and physical were accurate. I can learn using these learning styles when the atmosphere is structured. However, I believe that I should have scored higher for the visual learning style and the aural learning style. I typically learn information best when it is placed in charts and diagrams. I also enjoy listening to others discuss topics that I find appealing. In the end, I believe that I know myself better than a computer can know me.

I am posting the results to the Learning Styles Inventory survey.
visual: 12
social: 15
physical: 13
aural: 7
verbal: 7
solitary: 11
logical: 13

I definitely agree that social should be the highest. I am a very outgoing person and I love to talk and socialize with other people. Since I scored highest on social, I was a little surprised that I also scored fairly high on solitary. I do like having alone time, but not all the time. I would much rather be around other people. I am very happy that I scored high on physical because I love physical activity. I love being outdoors, using my hands, and having outdoor adventures. I am a very visual person, so I am satisfied with those results. I learn much better when I can see what I am learning about, rather than be told about it.

Assignment 1b

My name is Jonathan Christian and I have just completed my junior year at the University of Alabama. I am majoring in elementary education. I believe that technology is a major part of our lives, whether we like it or not. I believe that technology has quickened the rate at which we do things; I believe that this has created some problems. I still believe that technology should be a central part of education. However, I believe that there are some things that need to be done with pencil and paper. I believe everyone should know how to write in cursive. I believe that incorporating technology in the classroom will help students be better prepared for their future endeavors. I believe this, because technology is a major part of society. I see myself using technology in the classroom every single day. I plan on presenting new material to my students through the use of PowerPoint presentations. I will also allow my students to find new information online. My students will take part in interactive computer-based games. I will also use technology to communicate with my students and their parents. I will use blogs to communicate outside of class. I believe that that technology will allow communication to take place faster.

Assignment 1b

Hello everyone, my name is Will Pappas. I am a junior majoring in General Business. In my opinion, technology is a necessity that our generation will ultimately have to live with. However, technology keeps us in check. It allows us to keep a virtual schedule and keep us in contact with others much quicker than say, 15 to 20 years ago. I basically, simplifies many everyday jobs, such as, paper calenders, balancing checkbooks, paper mail to e-mail, phone books to cell phones. I believe that technology should be put in to education. If not other societies and countries education will insitute it, and will pass us on an educational level.

Assignment 1b Caleb

Hello my name is Caleb and I'm a sophmore who is majoring in psychology. Personally I think technology is a very useful tool for not only work but also relaxing. Many people say that technology intorduces many new stresses that just make life chaotic. I say that technology also adds more ways to make life easier when it comes to work and leisure. Even though work can now follow us home and sometimes make us spend more time working than relaxing, it still gives us freedom to do work when and how we want. We can do some work and then watch a movie using the internet. We can write some sort of a paper then relax and read some online readings. We could even do research while sitting in a massaging chair. Technology gives us freedom to do work how and when we want.

Assignment 1b

Hello! My name is Julie Burt and I am a first year grad student at Alabama. I finished my undergraduate degree in May 2008 majoring Elementary Education. I just completed my first year teaching 4th grade at Brent Elementary School. I am working on a Masters degree in Special Education: Gifted/Talented. Technology is a very important part of education. It can be used in parent-teacher communication. It is also important to teach students how to use technology, such as the internet, safely.

Hi everyone, my name is Jessica Hill. I am a senior majoring in both Elementary education and special education. I am from Birmingham, AL. I think this world could use more crativity and people need more encouagement to crate. I beleive that creativity starts with education and I plan to intorduce it more often to the students I teach. I love musical arts, dance, ballet and acting, along with many other activites.

Overall, I believe this to be about right. Knowing myself I would believe the visual and logical areas to be a bit higher, but as the website stated the test is not completely accurate. I know I could have answered differently on many questions since I tend to vary in character traits depending on the age group I am working with as well as various extrinsic factors.

Assignment 1b

I, James Caylor, am a senior here at the University of Alabama. My major is Human Performance/Physical Education. I can't see myself using technology as much as other teacher would since the majority of my students class time will be spent conducting various physical activites. Although, I will utilize a blog for parents and guardians to access, which I will update regularly, as to see what there child has been and will be involved in during the future.

Assignment 1b

Hey, I'm Dustin Green and honestly, I'm not really sure what year I am. I've done some some transferring throughout my college career due to baseball. According to my hours, I should be a senior. However, I lost many credits when I transferred here so I still have a good bit of school to go. I'm a Physical Education(Kinesiology) major so there probably won't be a whole lot of incorporating technology into my teaching methods. I do believe that over time the use of tech will become so prevalent that I will be able to have my students do there phys ed research on designated websites for upcoming tests as opposed to having them read a book during class and miss out on activity time. My mother is a high school computer teacher so most of this is familiar and tech has always been a favorite of mine.

Hey, My name is Sage Fletcher I am a junior, and my major is Elementary Education. I think that technology is good, especially for schools, because it makes it easier for teachers, students, and parents to communicate.

Assignment 1b

Hi. I'm Lennis. I'm about to be a 5th year senior majoring in Special Education. I like technology, but it usually does not like me. I could see myself using it inside the classroom one day to help non-verbal students communicate. It's also a great tool to use with students who may not have access to the technology at home use it. I would also use technology/computers to allow my students to do interactive educational games. I can write IEP with computers and also keep up with assignments and grades :)

Assignment 1b

My name is Allison Wirth. I am a junior majoring in Elementary Education. I think that the use of technology in classrooms is a really good teaching tool. Since I will be teaching elementary students, it might be hard for my students to participate in school using technology depending on what grade I teach. After discussing blogs in class, I think that they are a great way to keep in touch with parents. A class blog could take the place of sending out weekly newsletters (which could save me lots of paper!) As an elementary school teacher, I would like to help my students learn the basics of some common computer programs that they could need in the future.
