Blog Post 15 Final Reflection

Blog Post 14

When I first viewed Jose Picardo's educational blog, I immediately became interested. I like how the page is set up. It gives the reader a choice to pick which blog they would like to view. These different links include a title and a picture that goes along with it. I wouldn't mind learning how to create this onto my blog page as well. The A-Z Internet Resources for Education is a great tool to have for current teachers and future teachers. He provides a list of significant internet sources to find social networks sites and search engines. He also adds a brief description of these different sources which is  beneficial to finding the exact type of information that is needed.

After watching The Top Ten Tips For Using Technology In The Classroom, I thought that this would be another visual resource to answer the question of why technology is needed in the classroom. I did not realize that using music in the classroom could be put to some advantage. That would surely catch my attention during a long grueling power point about the earth's glaciers. I have learned about teleconferencing tools such as Skype in a previous project thanks to EDM 310. I think that interactive exercises will be fun and very helpful for students. Knowing how to better my pupils's strengths and weaknesses can improve the class's progress and understanding.

• Watch both videos and post your reactions to them. 

After watching both videos, I have realized that the workforce is constantly changing. I didn't know that four generations are currently working together. This shows a variety of how jobs will be done because they are able to find out how to complete their tasks in four different ways. I am a part of the Millennial group. Who will be after me? I think that we will be able to manage things better than we have the past because of our many resources. Finding solutions will be faster and more accurate. We will eventually adapt to changes and become familiar with them.
The future of work is constantly growing. When the video: The Future of Work says that it is transparent, I think about touch screens that are used for cell phones, I Pads,  and mp3 players. I can remember from a few years ago when I was at my family's reunion. I had a cousin from Miami who presented me with a brochure of touch screen bars at nightclubs in which he offers. I was so amazed because it was something that I had never heard of. Looking back, I realize that the job he was investing in was only a start towards the future of technology.
In the future, more people will work from their homes. I can't help but wonder if I will be teaching my students over Skype? The possibilities are endless to what we will be capable of doing. People who are graduating with a degree is raising. Competition for jobs will be higher than ever. I think that we (teachers) will be needed in the future due the growth of education over the past ten years.

Project 10

Using PLN with Symbaloo.com is really helpful. I am now able to use added and existing tiles that link me to my favorite websites for free. Before I began to develope my PLN, I first followed the instructions through youtube videos and the tour on Symbaloo. Once I understood how this program worked, I was so ready to build my own. I used some of the existing tiles such as Google and Facebook while also adding new websites that I also use everyday, into new tiles. By using Symbaloo, I found this useful site called Teacher Tube where there are thousands of videos for those like myself who want to be and are current teachers. Teacher LED is also another site that I found which is dedicated to help teachers learn how to use whiteboards in the classroom. Symbaloo is a very useful PLN because I no longer have to goolge everything first. Now I have everything at my finger tips with one click. I hope that my resources will grow from using this type of PLN.
