Week #14 The Last One

Here it is- the last blog; What did I learn the most about this class? Besides the course work and valuable material, I still am haunted my inability to say no. I want soooo much to do so many things for so many people that I loose sight of what is most important. This class reminds me of the respect that belongs to the educational system of our society. Sometime I guess we think too much of what is right for us on our terms and forget what was decided by the people who have walked before us. It is only from their data that we can reflect on the results and make the changes necessary in education that will only improve the experience for generations to follow.

Week #13 New Skills in the Semester

Week #13, wow - I've been exposed to so many skill sets this semester it is going to take another year to implement and perfect them. Just kidding, from the earliest part of the semester I starting using the material I learned and analyzing the data. This course has done nothing short of molding myself into a more productive and efficient teacher. Thank you......

Week # 11 Copyright Jeopardy

Copyright laws, hmmm... I have always respected them because I understand how much work goes into writing anything. I have to be honest though, I've been attending post-secondary schools for almost ten years and I really can't remember any institution reinforcing the seriousness of the issue. Maybe I should make it a strong obligation to bring this issue to the forefront. To be a complete and sucessfull journalist, there is no place for copywrites infringments....

Week #12 Notebook Presentations

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the majority of the notebook presentations. But I can share my experience of what I learned making my presentation. The research turned out to support my belief in what value our elderly can give always share with the world. My main presentation was about gentleman whose philosophy still guides a small company named Nintendo today. Instead of getting lost looking so far into the crystal ball, why not take something already known and make it better. The Nintendo Wii console is still the largest selling game console sold today and its graphics are the simplest and easest to use and understand by young and old.
