Blog Post 2

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
-facebook
-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.

  1. Monique, I love your diagram you inserted about teaching with technology. I agree with you on the Mr. Dancealot video. As a dance teacher, I know first hand you have to physically show your students what you are teaching and let them practice.

    Your blog post was great, there are a few suggestions that I have for you that would make a better understanding for your readers. Whenever you are summarizing a video or article, it is best to describe thoroughly in details so that if your reader has not watched the video or read the article you have seen, they can understand what you are blogging about. Also, try to write longer sentences, use commas and semicolons as much as you can so that you have a less chance of developing fragment sentences.

    The only grammatical error I seen was in your first sentence of paragraph 5, where experience is spelled wrong and where you should insert a comma: "The flipping the classroom strategy is somewhat of a new experi^ence^, but not so much."
