Summary of C4K

Darius is a student in Ms. Jaunita Gardens Class. In his blog he was excitement about receiving netbooks. I was excited for him because he is in elementary school and he is already doing class blogs and they were receiving netbooks. I think this is a wonderful advancement in technology.

Tyler is a student in Mrs. Phares class. In his blog post he talked about friends. He doesnt have a best friend because he has meany friends. I commented letting him know it is only to many friends but infomed him that there will be people who he becomes closer to because of the things they have in common.

Blog Post 7

Randy Pausch's lecture was amazing. He was very interesting. He spoke about his childhood dreams. He let the audience know that it was important to have specific dreams. The way he spoke to the audience was intriguing. He spoke to them as if he was having a conversation with each of them.

Pausch said that experiences are what we get when we didn't get what we wanted. When he said this it made think about what he said. This is a very true statement. Pausch had six childhood dreams that he wanted to achieve. However, he did not achieve them in the way he wanted to in some way he was connected to it.

I liked how Pausch spoke about the people who inspired him and about his parents. At the beginning of the lecture, he spoke about how when he was going through his childhood pictures and not once did he find a picture with him not smiling. I think his upbringing is a major part of his life and has allowed to always push forward and strive for his dreams.

At the beginning of the lecture Pausch informed the audience that he had 10 tumors and about six months of living left. He was not said about it in fact he let the audience know that he has had a wonderful life and it is what it is. Through out the lecture his seemed very happy. The most important part of the lecture was to inform the audience that you must have childhood dreams. They should a goal that you are trying to reach and you should never give up. Paush lecture was a truly inspirational lecture.

SmartBoard Presentation

PNL project 10

After watching the video i immediately thought of my phone. I don't always have time to pull out my lab top and research things. I have a t mobile Sam-sung smart phone. My phone have 7 screens that allow me to load them up with apps. I have have all my apps that are for school purposes only on the 5th screen and all my entertainment and personal apps on the 3rd scree on my phone. My phone t me in my laptop. It allows me to type, format, and send. It allows me to browse, search, or save data. To me my PNL is not limited to just a home based on school based computer it is something that is on the go and allows my learning environment to be everywhere I am.

Summary of C4T #2

To be honest when I first seen this blog I was very confused. It has so much going on i didn't know where to start. it was very overwhelming. For the first 10-15 minutes i just stared at the blog because I didn't know what to do. As I began to navigate through the page I saw a lot of videos, pictures and comments. The blog post I commented on was a conference on ICT or Information and communications technology. It was about 30 sec long but it included pics of the conference. the blog is very nice and show how ICT in working in the Language classrooms.
