One of our assignments was to create and present a google document about something special about ourselves. I wrote about myself and who i am, and some of the crazy incidents that have happened in my life. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, let me know.

Project 11
Project 11 was a group project where Kimberly, Laurin, and myself had to research advanced search techniques. We each added a little bit of information that way we all had a chance to learn all the ways ourselves. This was a very educational project that i learned alot from. Thanks Dr. Strange!

At the Teacher's Desk
I think it is very important to have this kind of outlet for teachers. Blogging is a way to express yourself and your ideas, and when you can do that and connect with other teachers at the same time that is a wonderful tool. Teacher's on this website are always available for advice and tips on any problem someone might have. Some of the blogs were about how teachers need to become socail networking students and using technology for communication. It is so awesome that teachers can comment on these posts and share their opinions back and forth and that all makes us better learners. While browsing around i found some interesting things on here, like the comments4kids blog and a link to the worldwide visitors of the blog. Dr. Strange's introduction video and blog to EMD310 was posted by Mr. Lamshed, and it said that Dr. Strange is the most active commentors on the whole page.

The Networked Student
I liked watching the video because it resembles alot of what we are doing in EDM. The networked student learns alot from the teaching styles of his professor and that can help build his PLN. All it takes is one click of the mouse and your whole view of education can change. Researching, Skype, Blogs, Videochats are all apart of increasing that PLN and teachers are the ones who are there to motivate and inspire. Teachers are there to show us how to do it and how to thrive from that knowledge and use it later on in your career.

Comments4Kids
WoodTech Edublogs,
I had to post a comment on Trever's blog. His blog was about video games and he wrote which ones were his favorite. He is a pretty cool kid because i left him a comment asking him what was worldofwarcraft game and which wii game was his favorite. We have been commenting back and forth to each other about video games because that is one of my hobbies during my free time. But i would have to say this was my favorite comments for kids assignment. Thanks Dr. Strange for assigning this one!
Mr. Brown's History Class,
His Class posted a video on the Panama canal, its a time lapse video but it still has the same affects. It was very neat to watch how it really works because i have never been to the canal, and pretty much every person that left a comment had said the same thing. I also watched a couple different videos on the website and i think its a very educational technique process with all these awesome videos he is showing his class.
Mr. McClung,
Mr. McClung's class posted a blog about their discussion about how the Placebo Effect can change the outcome of data. I think its wonderful that he is teaching his class at such an important age the different effects that change experiments and how no matter what the outcome is always up to them. Good job Mr. McClung.

I had to read Calysta's blog about herself and how she has one little brother and has a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu. It's very cool that she in participating in that kind of a sport. I also liked how she used word coloring when she listed her favorite colors and how many pets she has. I hope she keeps posting blogs because they were very cute to read.
Mr. Lamshed
I had to comment on the "cooking" blog, and it was about how each week they are teaching the boys how to prepare and cook a meal. Each week is a different theme to the meal so they split up into four groups and different sides. Once it's all completed they all sit down to a four course meal and talk about what they learned that week. I really liked reading about this because i didnt learn cooking until my senior year of high school. They are teaching these boys wonderful skills. I hope they keep up the good work.
