blogging

I think that blogging is a great idea, its awesome for students to just write about whatever they want. Me being a health teacher would like to use this concept in my class because it would really give me a great view of what my students are doing. They could write about current health issues or talk about personal experiences and how they are working towards goals of becoming more physically fit and eating right. It would be awesome, i would really enjoy the students blogs and could provide feedback for them to help the achieve their goals. Overall i think the blogging is a great way to allow students to speak their mind and think about currect topics and issues.

Our groups I-movies and book

I thought that our group presentation was a good, it was very was easy for the audience to understand. With Katy being the principal, her explaining the situation set it up nicely. Hannah Leah and I thought it was easy for the audience to read our over exaggerated acting skills. We just wanted to make it understandable to them what we were comparing and contrasting. That was the difference that Mr. Bloch made by going in and starting a new school in inner city Kansas City. Like when Jim asked me to speak during class i really thought that what I learned from Mr. Bloch was to try different things and set up your students to be successful. All students are different we as teachers must do different things so that are students develop a positive attitude that will translate into there work. If they find something that they enjoy about learning it will help when they are learning. It is frustrating to teach students that you cant completely get through to. Mr. Bloch is so used to being in an office all the time making the big bucks, but he gave up it up to go to the inner city and start a school to try and make a difference. And inner city kids are probably not the easiest kids to teach in school. I cant imagine teaching them and trying to get them all on the same page. But Mr. Bloch did it and he is kind of inspiring to read. It made a difference and that is the most rewarding part of being a teacher, making a difference in students lives.

I-movie presentations

I really enjoyed the watching the I-movies i thought it presented a good spectrum of the education world from the past all the way to the present with all kinds of ideas and visions. The way people used their imagination and the technological skills was awesome too it was a great way to get students involved with group members to create a project such as this. The discussions and and questions that were being tossed around about the books and movies we also very interesting to listening to. I thought because it had shown the different ways that people in the audience viewed the book as well. With the assignment to be about a book on education it made it also interesting to hear about other peoples books and what education was to be made of in their books.
