skype
I have found skype to be a great way to communicate with others. I have not only benefited from skype in the classroom, but also outside the class. I have used skype to communicate with several classmates, whether to ask a question or to answer one, but I mainly use skype to communicate with brother-in-law who lives in England.

The first post I made was to Erin. She did a wonderful job speaking her native language. I hope she continues studying the Maori culture! Here is what I said:
This is Alex B. from Dr. Strange's EDM 310 class in Mobile, Alabama and I have been assigned to read your blog. You did a wonderful post Erin! That was great eye contact. Keep up the good work! I like how you are learning about your culture! Keep your culture alive in your studies and good luck learning!
My next three posts were to Kathleen McGeady’s 2KM class at Leopold Primary School. They were very creative and I really enjoyed reading their blog. Here is what I said:

Paperless Day
This is Alex again. These are some great ideas to help our planet! Maybe the U.S. she institute a paperless day. We have Earth Day which is similar but I'm not sure it's that effective. Good luck making a difference! We need more people like you guys in the world!
Surprise Gift!
Alex again! That is so awesome that you guys got mail from a class in the United States! I’m not fond of raisins but I love jelly beans! I hope you guys keep in touch with each other after this year!
My next few posts were to Mrs. Yollis's class. Here they are:

Alex again. Wow! You guys are really making a difference! I wish we could get the whole world as involved as you guys are. Way to go on the hard work. I have been trying hard to recycle and to not waste water while I brush my teeth. Keep up the hard work!

Alex for the last time :(. This is so awesome that you guys got to meet someone from another country! I bet you guys really enjoyed her visit. I only have one question: Is it hard to learn how to use a boomerang? Good luck with your future endeavors!

This is Alex B. from Dr. Strange's EDM 310 class in Mobile, Alabama and I have been assigned to read your blog. This is so cool that you guys are going to be learning about the Earth. I'm going to be a history teacher; so if I were ever to decide to become an elementary teacher this is what I would teach! I hope you guys really enjoy learning about the Earth.

April 4th, 2010 Blog Assignment
I thought this was a pretty interesting blog assignment.I was intrigued with how one was able to view the many different opinions of different individuals and how they were able to retrieve images into their lives. I am one that would say safety first, though I’m not always the one that likes to practice that. Every now and again I will download something onto my CPU and feel the ill effects of that (infected) download later. Having said that, I think the many safety strategies needed take are very important and vital if you are going to access the greatest medium known to man, the internet. There are so many technological advances that I am just now starting to adapt myself to and get comfortable with. Now I’m pretty good with the basics and as this semester has progressed, so have I with these different mediums.
Being a history major, there are several things that interest me or at least I feel will benefit me in the teaching force. For starters, I’m not quite sure I will blog as much as I have in this classroom, but I think there are a few things I will take with me. I don’t think I will use voicethread much when teaching. The only time I could imagine using it is when I am not in class, but even then that’s what substitute teachers are for, right? Don’t get me wrong, the 3 videos for this assignment clearly showed how technology has positively affected several classrooms; I just don’t see how it does that for many other classes, especially upper level classrooms. Being a secondary education major, that’s one issue I think I’m struggling with in the debate of technology and the class.
I went to a very diverse high school, and I must say I learned a lot about different cultures and people and it was never through voice thread or class blogs and any other form of communication through computers that influenced my cultural learning, it was through physical interactions. engaging with these people in class, sports, work and on. So that’s kind of how I feel about learning networks.

march 28th blog assignment/ Morgan Bayda
I feel the same about the classroom and how it is not the most encouraging force we have in higher education. there are so many classes that are like this. where we are forced to sit and listen with extreme obedience for a professor who doesn't even know our name. social interaction on many subjects taught in the class should be pushed.
I have mentioned my frustrations with this system we are forced to learn in today many times to my friends and adult figures, most of whom i would consider parents or those who I go to for advice, and the reply to my frustrations are always the same- college is a right of passage- that basically its not what you learned, but that you put up with enough crap that earns you proof of a piece of paper with your name on it that tells the world, i did it. the questions asked should be revised from -did you do it? to -how you did it?
