C4T#4
This week in EDM 310, I had the opportunity to view and comment on a teacher's blog. Mr. Brendan Jones is a PDHPE( Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) in New South Wales, Australia.
Post#1:Go Pro in PE Mr Jones has used many technology programs within his PE classes. For instance, Go Pro is a device that can be used to help " analyze a player's movement". He states that he mainly uses the devices when cycling, but he uses it in his classes in order to help students to analyze themselves from their point of view. Personally, I never knew the device had a name. I just thought it was camera attached to someone's helmet. However, I think the Go Pro is a great device because he provides people, especially athletes, with immediate feedback.
Post#2: Emulator? Or Assimilator? Mr. Jones asked the question is it best for teachers to be an emulator(to be like someone else) or to be an assimilator(to incorporate as one's own)? Well he states that it is easier to be emulator because teachers can get good teaching ideas from great teachers. However, its best to be an assimilator because only you, as a teacher, knows what is best for your students. I totally agree with him because it is ok to take other teachers' advices into consideration, but it does not possible mean that those advices will work for my particular class.

C4K Summary for April
This month in EDM310, I viewed and commented on some amazing students'blogs from PT England School in Auckland, New Zealand.
Rima's blog Rima is a student from Miss Ouano' Class. Rima and I have a lot in common such as, we both are the only girls out of five brothers. In her recent post,she defines/describes the word, pohutukawa. Pohutukawa is a tree, similar to a Christmas tree, which can be grown in warm areas near the beach. I have never heard of the term and seen a pohutukawa. However I hope one day to see one in person.
Shyla Lee's blog Shyla Lee is a student from Miss Lavakula's class. She posted a video of an event called Fiafia. which she performed a dance with group of people. I have never heard of a Fiafia, but I really enjoyed the performance. Also, I finally now know what the dot on someone's face is called ( a bende) Thanks to Shyla. Shyla Lee and I have a lot in common as well, which we both love math and spending quality time with friends.

Blog Post #13
This week in EDM310, we had the opportunity to create our own blog post based on our future area of teaching. Although I am required to teach all subjects for an Elementary Education major, my strongest field is English.
Directions For Blog Post #1: Think about a person who has been very influential in your life. This person can be a family member, professor, youth pastor, actor etc. Explain how this person has been influential in your life. Make sure to include a picture of the influential person. My example of my post can be found below and on my blog.
Everyone has had someone that has been influential in his or her life, which it can be a parent, sibling or even a teacher. The most influential person in my life is my mother, Mrs. Carroll Johnson. About three years ago, I thought I was going to lose my mother because she had a severe heart attack. Although my mother knew she was not in good health, she did not let that hold her down. She still attended my extracurricular activities events and would help me with homework every night. I thank God everyday for blessing me with a wonderful mother. I would not trade her for nothing in the world.
