The information on Rome was really excellent they put out the information like a professional podcast or should I say plainly like a professional.  I really enjoyed how this podcast was put together with background music. The benefits of podcasting is great, I like the fact that if you miss school you can load the stuff off of podcast. You can also play it over and over to help with studying for tests. Podcasting will help students out more then writing just notes from classes. Learned that you can have a podcast with someone that at another part of the country. Podcasting is a great way to have students raise there grades in pretty much every class. You can listen or watch the podcast over and over again having a higher chance of remembering the information.

Scan the books bar code and get a fully formatted reference?:

I think that is a great idea and could work well at high schools. Actually it might work great at other types of school also. You could also email the code to your teacher to prove possible someway that ou are reading the required list of books from your smartphone.  

Cartoon-  “Facing the consequences of social media.”:
I have seen what happens when people put stuff online and don't think about it. When people apply for jobs the people that are doing interviews look up stuff online and that's what separates a lot of applicants. Most of it is teens and college students not thinking of the effect it has on them after they graduate. It also happens to military members when they put pictures and information online about where they are at and dates when they are headed next.

C4K summary for Feb month

I like snow but do not think I could go skiing. I actually have not seen much snow, but If I did I might hurt myself just as if I went skating. I like ice if it is in my tea or drink but I do not think I would like falling on it while skating. Im glade that Damara went skiing and Gina Marie went to the ring to go skating. They both tried something I do not think I ever will. On second thought I think I would not mind trying something just to say I did. Just like Damara and Gina Marie did.

Kaycee and her fellow classmates just received netbooks and she was excited to get one. I think that is a great idea giving student’s netbooks for school work and homework. It will help them to become more technologically advanced in the world.

Wendy Drexler: The Networked Student
I would greatly appreciate being a teacher of a networks student. Not because I am lazy and do not want to work with the students. It will be great work being that teacher of the networked student. I am going to be the one that gives him the tools he needs to succeed. Not through books or on chalkboards but through google, twitter, blogging and other items on the internet to reach information.

The students will always need teachers even with schools and society rapidly changing on how we learn and teach. We can still function as teachers in how we teach the students how to figure out what information online is correct or false. What we can not do is sit around and let students think whatever they find online is all true. It is all apart of our new age teaching jobs.

I think it would be great to try this with middle school students because that is where most students lose interest in school. if there is a way to change how we teach students to keep them moving towards there graduation then lets help them graduate and not hold them back. The main reason not to hold our students back is because they are the future of our country and will be in leadership positions one day. Lets set them up for success so our country can succeed.

Welcome to My PLE!
I really like how teachers are giving students responsibility at a younger age which will help her succeed in life quicker. Her personal learning plan is actually on a hinger level compared to mine, which means I need to pick mine up. I agree how she states that she can get distracted with all the stuff online she could do but she has the inclination to be responsible.
