Richard Miller is a man full of wonderful ideas. He brought some great points out in his videos. Dr. Richard Miller elaborated on the changes of how we write. He offers useful tips on how technology can be used in the classroom. He addresses how writing in today's culture has changed. We have evolved from writing with paper and pencil to using word processors. Communication with someone on the other side of the world is now instantly possible.
Mr. Miller made the statement that "technology is an incremental change, not a fundamental change." Different forms of technology is being created everyday. Technology is not changing things all together, but it is making things easier for us. We have started using the desktop to write down our ideas. Computers correct our grammar and written mistakes. Technology sets students mind at ease. We no longer have to step foot in the library to gather research, because now we can gather information from the web.
Dr. Millers said "that Ideas don't belong to us individually, but belong to us as a culture." Everything we write on the web is freely available to others. Technology allows us to share our knowledge and collaborate with others. As educators we should distribute information freely to help other teachers and students. I'm personally not ready to write with multimedia yet. Although, one day I hope to be equip with the knowledge to use this in my classroom. My students will gain knowledge of this form of technology.

Carly Pugh Blog Post #12
Carly's blog post was interesting and amazing to read. She took a lot of time and interest in the assignment. She shared her ideas with others and of where she gathered her information from. When assigning her assignment, she went in depth of describing how to do the assignment. She even gave an example of what the assignment should look like. She showed how using multimedia can help expand and express a person's feelings and knowledge. She displayed herself as an inspiring teacher of new media. I love the topics she decided to use in her playlist. I to believe teachers should have a philosophy and be able to show what they expect from their students. I enjoyed all the videos throughout the post.

The Chipper Series/ EDM 310 For Dummies
I enjoyed both of these videos. Indeed, they were very inspirational. Both videos were hilarious. I have not had many of those frustrating times that Chipper experienced. These videos display how people express the different opinions they have. I would like to make a beneficial video acting out a book I have read. The video will express my imagination and creative abilities. This will help others understand the subject matter and plot of the story. Also, I would like to create a video displaying the steps of how to create and organize a PLN.
Learn to Change, Change to Learn
This was a great video, because it
demonstrated how society needs to have an impact on education. I
was amazed to see how a lot of people do not even value
technology and take education seriously. Technology is not all bad. It allows people to be creative and learn more globally. Technology can
provide the best quality in classrooms. It is great to learn hands on and to explore. I believe that students should not just memorize facts, but they also need to know how to apply the facts. Technology allows this to happen.
I think that every classroom should be kept up to date with the advanced technology. We as future teachers should not be left behind in a world that is advancing forward. If the non school related sites were blocked, then there should be no problem with students using technology to learn.

Edmodo
In 2008, Nic Borg and Jeff O'Hara set
out to create a tool that closes the gap between how students live their
lives and how they learn in school. Teachers and students are able to
sign up and create a account for free. No premium membership is offered

Edmodo.com is an amazing site for teachers to help their students advance in all subjects. Teachers put all their classes in groups. Edmodo allows the teacher to post grades, quizzes, homework and classroom assignments. The calendar can help teachers and students now when assignments are due and what events are coming up. The site allows you to reach out and communicate with other teachers. It even lets you post a status. Teachers are able to establish discussions that all students are able to participate in. This site is actually interesting.
