1. The central message of Mr. Dancealot video was showing the students what moves to do for the dance and the positions. They basically had to learn on their own. The author wants us to figure it out ourselves. No, I do not agree with his conclusion, because in order to teach someone a dance you have to physically show them. For example, when his male student stood up to see what moves the professor was doing he asked him to sit back down. How could he teach them from behind the counter.
2.Students can find information whatever, whenever, and wherever on the following:
-blogs
-twitter
-google

-ipods
wikipedia
-cell phones
-youtube
3.She teaches him how to build the network and take advantage of learning opportunities. She offers guidance when he gets stuck she shows him how to communicate properly.
4. The thesis of Davis' video is to create an enhanced technology learning environment. I completely agree with Davis' plan to teach technology in the classrooms.
5. The flipping the classroom strategy is somewhat of a new experince but not so much. This world is constantly changing so we need to be ready to embrace it. Yes, this technique will be very useful for me as a teacher, because we as teachers would need to prepare students for their jobs in the future, jobs that we may not even know about.

Blog Post # 1

In December 2013, when I received a detailed email from Dr. Strange, I instantly became overwhelmed and nervous. i then thought to myself, "Oh my God, what if I don't pass this class!" So, i then asked my daughter's father if he had taken the class before since he was a graduate student. His name is Lawrence Campbell and he replied, "Yeah I have taken the class before it's not that hard and Dr. Strange remembers me." I will admit I am still a bit nervous about this class, especially since I am a working mother and full time student. EDM 310 is nothing like I have ever taken before. EDM 310 for me will be a challenge, but is a requirement since I am a secondary education-English. I do not use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. So I have never written a blog. The most difficult thing for me will be learning how to post a blog correctly, because as I mentioned before this is new to me. The best way for me to deal with my difficulties is to try and attend some of the lab sessions. Other than the blogs posted in the blog post, how can I find the special blog post? I have already checked the class blog. Please help. Thanks.

I am 26 years old and I have lived in Mobile, Al all life. I am the youngest of seven, my parents have adopted three more; twin girls that are 7 are a boy whom is 8. I have a 2 year old daughter named Laila. I attended LeFlore High School and graduated in 2006. My interest is education. I am attending South, because nearly four years ago I was enrolled at Bishop State Community College. Bishop State was so slow with the way they did things as far financial aid, classes, etc. So I became frustrated with it and my daughter's father suggest I enroll at South so here I am. I am majoring in secondary education in English. I wanted to enter education because my favorite subject in high school was English. I enjoy the basics of English, but the composition of is my struggle. My mom and daughter's father often refer to me as the "human dictionary," because I easy at spelling. My passion is spending time with my daughter and singing. My English 102 instructor, has told me that my writing is great. But, when I begin to write I have a hard time placing words on paper.
