0. 1) What is the central message of this video. 
   The central message in the Dance-along video was,you don't learn any subject unless you get to experience or practice it first.
   2) How does the author make the case for this conclusion.
    In conclusion, a teacher who teaches a dance class should actually let the students participate with the dances instead of just talking about it only. Its like if a teacher lectures but doesn't use a book.
   3) Do you agree with his conclusion? Why or why not? 
   No I don't agree because students need structure and demonstration in there classes so they (the students) will learn better.
    a)What does Roberts think it means to teach in the 21st Century? Create an outline of the
   
   argument made by Roberts, including the evidence and arguments made to support his thesis. How do you feel about the way Roberts sees teaching changing? If Roberts is correct, how will it affect you as an educator? 
   In the video "Teaching in the 21st century",Robert thinks that teaching in the 21st century, kids need to be more engaged in the learning process. That children these days, use nothing but technology for all of the subjects they learn.The teachers should provide content,facts,dates,formulas,research,theories,stories and information. One argument that I remember is when the video was playing all of the questions for example: How do I fix my car?, Whats the best credit card deal for me and also should I rent or buy.
   
   Honestly I feel like technology has taken over the educational system. That instead of pen and paper when I was little its now iPad's  and cellphones.
   It will affect me as an educator because everything is starting to be just electronics for books, tests even lectures too. Soon all education will be electronics and no more books or paper products. 
   
   

   
   Think about what you have heard and seen. Listen and watch very carefully when the question is asked "Why does the networked student even need a teacher?" Write about your reaction to this video 

   In the video the networked student, the question appeared on the video "Why does the networking student even need a teacher"? I have an answer, to guide the student when he or she needs help in which case in the video its a boy. The teacher is also there to answer any questions and assists him when he gets stuck on something,also the teacher assists the student with what information he is looking up is true information or false.
   
   My reaction to the video was the animation was good it got the point across with the discussion.
1.  
2. What is the thesis of Davis’ video. What is your reaction to her argument?
3. 

'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The thesis that I came up with from the Davis video was, All Education is becoming Electronic.I personally was not     surprised at all about how the students know more than the teacher in some programs.The teachers grew up with pen and paper, but as students grew up with electronics. 

    Is flipping a classroom new to you? Do you think this approach will be useful to you as a                               teacher? Why or why not?
          The phrase "Flipping a classroom"doesn't sound familiar to me     but I do know what the video is talking about.I had a             class in High School like that it was fun because personally     I understand and learn better as a student electronically         then on paper.I think that the approach was useful for when I     become a teacher, I think that If I grew up with using           electronics then my future students should too.

I heard, that this class was very challenging, lots of out of class projects to do. I also heard that you don't want to miss any days in this class or you will be behind. I also heard that on occasion there will be group projects with other students in the classroom. I fear that I won't get a project turned in on time on some of the projects that we do. I fear that on some of the projects I won't know all of the terminology like I might think I know right now. I took a similar class at the college I transferred and received my Associates at Pensacola State College and we did the basics. Made sure we knew how to use all of the Microsoft programs, when we finished with the basics we used those programs to work on teaching projects. We used excel to come up with a material budget, power point to make a lesson.

The most difficult thing I believe in EDM310 will be that the workload will be more than I am used too. I will have to make sure constantly that everything on that checklist that you gave us is all done on time. The best way to address the most difficult aspect would be to check every task that I was supposed to do every week and check it off when I finish that task. I have no other questions, the only idea that I have right now about those questions is to never slack off, try my best, and post things on time.

Hi my name is Leanna Willoughby, I am 23 years old. I am a HUGE Auburn fan. I have one sister no brothers, she is turning 21 years old next month. My birthday is June 5th, I was born in Michigan. I had a dog, but she passed away earlier this week. I am a transfer student from Pensacola State College, I received my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education last May. I like school a lot ever since I was little. I am a movie freak I will watch all movies except scary I can't deal with any type of scary movie. I am Military Brat, I have moved to a lot of places. I lived in Northern Alabama, I live in Florida right now at the moment, Michigan, New York and England. While I lived in England, I went to visit a lot of places like, Rome, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Scotland.

This is my second semester at University of South Alabama and It is going good so far. My first semester I struggled but I got through it. I have been in school for 3 1/2 years according to what my records so but I am almost a Junior so I am getting closer to becoming a teacher. I am hoping that I will finish up my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. When I do finally receive my degree I would like to teach Preschool or Kindergarten. The first time that I knew I wanted to become a teacher was when I was in 3rd grade, ever since then I have proceeded with my passion of becoming a teacher. The reason why I want to become a teacher is because I can tolerate multiple amount of kids at one time.I worked at The YMCA for a Year and a half and we went on a lot of field trips.
