Did you know?
In the video "Did you know?" revised by Dr. Strange he points out a lot of eye opening facts on technology. It is astonishing to think that there are more high school honor students in India then there are total high school students in the U.S. Since I am wanting to become an educator it will not only be my job but my duty to stay up to date with the latest versions of technology and to make sure that my student are computer and technology literate. By doing this I will give them the best opportunity to succeed when they join the work force and compete for jobs to provide for their family.
Mr. Winkle Wakes
"Mr. Winkle Wakes" by Mathew Needlemen is a video about a man who wakes up from sleeping for 100 years. As he walks around this new world he first goes to a skyscraper and notices how the business world has changed because of all the technology. After that he goes to a hospital and notices how technology has changed those too. Lastly, he goes to a school and notices not much has changed in the last 100 years.
This video is saying that technology is changing the world around us everyday. Whether it be in the work force or in medicine technology has changed it drastically and will continue to change them. However, schools have not changed much even though technology is growing rapidly. If school don't keep up with growing technology then kids of this generation and generations to come will be at a disadvantage when they enter the work force.

I personally would not use these ideas in my classroom. I don't feel like there is much educational value or that I can find much educational value from using Pintrest.
I chose to follow Debbie Fucoloro because i feel like pretty much anyone could learn something from her board. It was set up for beginners but even people who aren't beginners could pick up tips from her board. Also she has a wide variety of different pins on her board which reaches a lot of different audiences.

Blog Assignment #1
About Me
My name is Julian Maleki Harris but everybody calles me Maleki. I am a 20 year old sophomore here at South. I do play football here but I like to think of myself to be than a football player. I graduated from Cordova High School which is about 20 mins outside of birmingham. However I grew up in north Alabama in a city called Leighton, about 10mins from Florence, AL. I have two sisters one is 22 and the other one is 9.
My family was a big reason why I came to South. Since USA is in state for me that is a bonus for me since I am not too far for my family to come watch my football games. Also I like only being 45mins away from the beach. My hobbies are playing sports and hanging out.
I have learned throughout my educational career that hands on teaching reaches more students in my opinion so that will probably be my most used method way of teach. I also think that independent learning skills is important for a student have to not only better themselves in an educational setting but also in when they get ready to enter the work force. However, some students do learn different from others therefore whatever method i need to use to most effectively get my students to learn.
I plan on being a Physical Education teacher so my tools will be P.E equipment. I will also use tools such as a whistle and occasionally instructional videos. My students will use a different variety of equipment such as balls and cones. They will also use tools such as tennis shoes and gym shorts.
I plan on teaching students between the 6th and the 12th grade. I want to teach these specific age groups because I feel like these years are very important in a child's life. In my opinion this is where alot of kids will learn a work ethic and I want to help them learn a good one. This is where I would use more of an independent learning method when i teach.
I also wouldnt mind teaching elementary kids. I think teaching kids how to participate in sports the right way will help them in everything they do. Also when working with young kids I have experienced that i can reach them better working hands on. which is why I would us a more hands on method when teach elementry students.

Also when he talked about doin things right made sense to me as well. A lot of what he was saying involved good time management as well as living a good life.
