      When I watched PBL#2 and PBL#1 By Mr. Capps, I learned that as a teacher the more involved students are to the outside of the school walls themore they aare willing to learn. The kids in Mr. Capps class had a project to write to the congressman. they had twenty-eight letters done but as a class choose only the eight best to send to the congressman. When students do not have limits as a teacher you can truly see how much the students are willing to put forth and do.

      In the second video Mr. Capps talks about how they had an assignment to write a script as if they were a child in Afghanistan. The was one problem that a child's father did not want him to learn about anything from Afghanistan. With the parent not approving the work Mr. Capps had to assign the student to a diffrent project while everyone else was working on the script learning about Afghanistan. WWhile this reminds the teacher that they can not just assign projects but they need to make sure it does not offend and that the parents will allow their child to study the subject. Many parents will usually let the child study the work but there are some parents that shelter their child from many controversy subjects.

My first comment was to a girl from Pt England named Te Puawai. She is a seventh year student their.
Her blog post was about how drugs are bad. Puawai went on saying that "drugs can ruin your life" and that "drugs don't choose people, people choose drugs".

   My comment to Puawai was that I know someone that drugs have changed their life. I went on telling her that even one day can change the life of that one person by telling her that we had to put my best friend's mom in a rehabilitation clinic. That eventually she became drug free and has thanked me for changing her life.

My second comment was to a girl name Nichole. Nichole was a girl in high school that blogged about her best friend in high school. She said that her and Awiana are best friends and that they have a weird relationship.

    My comment to Nichole was that I have had many weird friendships. I went on telling her that my weirdest friendship came from my best friend's ex girlfriend. I went and told her how they split and how we still remained close. Then I told her how we split about because of a new boyfriend.

My Third comment I went back to Puawai and found out she had a new video published on her blog.

    I commented on the video saying that I had to do a video this week and if it is anything like her's I am sure to pass. Then I told her it looked like fun that her and her friends were having making the video. Then I told her to keep having fun and stay true.

A PLN (Personal Learning Network) is a network where you can connect with people, can share ideas, and find new resources. I did not know that I was previously using a PLN until today. I never knew that Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace were considered a PLN. My PLN will most likely start off with have Twitter or my Facebook account on it. I believe I can use a PNL in a classroom very effectively to share information all around the world with my class and even their parents. In A Seventh graders PLN you can see how a PLN can work and see how easy it is to use. I think I can also use all of my C4"s , C4K's C4T's and C4C's, to help me out even though they are different countries, ages, and even races that is one of the most important steps into forming a PLN is people.

 Mrs. Dahl blogged about potential. Mrs. Dahl says that some people believes that "potential is fixed" but goes on saying that we must "give our students opportunities to develop their potential.
 I commented that I use to believe that it was fixed but I told her about how my life changed after high school. High school I couldn't do as good as my sisters but in college I have been better than they ever were.


  Ms. Brenda Jones is a P.E teacher and she blogged about Skills and Tactics from Paper to Practice. It is about turning strategy from practice onto real sporting events. She shows a video about Netball to show what is tactics and what is strategy. Show how people use their tactics from measurements and ability. Where they use strategy to stop the other teams tactics.
   I went a=on and commented saying how I wish to become a coach and told them how in a wrestling match that the teams kept throwing in legs. Doing another match I had to drag aside the team and show them how to stop or how to escape from that tactic.


   Mrs. Shireen Dadmehr is a math teacher and she blogged about how to divide two fractions. Se was asked to show the student how to divide after a test. She went on and took pictures of how she worked out her problem step by step.
    I commented saying That is great math. I never took precalculus but I'm pretty sure I could learn a lot out of one of your classes. You break down the steps in an easy way to learn. Later on I went back and said I'm sorry I did take precalculus for some reason I thought precalculus was calculus.

   Mr. Dylan posted a blog about how to use this website to show how you can use it as a coaching platform for practices. The video shows how to plan for a practice like passing the puck in hokey or passing the ball in soccer. You can find any sport in this website and see what you would like your team to practice on and see what drills you could do for that practice.

   My Comment was This blog is very helpful for me. I went on it and created my own account. As a future teacher and coach i will try to use this website to help me keep my students/players involved of the daily activities we will be doing.

Ixquick is a search that is a private search engine that allows you to go anywhere without your IP address. Ixquick is old and slow but for it to protect you from any damage it is worth the wait.

Bing is a very popular search engine besides like google. I believe that Bing has the best and sharpest pictures on the internet.

Duck Duck Go is a search engine that is very unique. At the top of Duck Duck Go's website when you look it up they have tabs that you can click on and it quickly shows pictures, tabs, definition, and more. This search engine is really good but it doesn't have very good sources and pictures.

Dogpile is a search engine that does not have any unique things on its website. It is really basic and not very impressive.

Yahoo search engine is an older search engine that is catching up with the new times. They have some very impressive articles but lack flash like Bing or Google.

Ask is my least favorite search engine. I found it very plain and not very helpful At All

WOW has a very cool search opening website that has very quick links to famous sites like Pinterest, Twitter, Amazon, Ebay, and more. If you like to go on the search engine that can get you to popular websites this is the best one for that.

Wolffram Alpha is a search engine that shows great detail on what you may look up. i looked up Mobile, Al and it gave me a huge list of facts about Mobile. It gave me the population, weather/humidity, the demographics, and more. This search engine may be the best results as any of these search engines.

Teacher ask questions all the time. How they phrase a question is just as important as asking the question itself. Phrasing a question the right way gives the student more ways to think about to answer. Making students really think about the question more than a yes or no may expand the students mind. Students will only answer the questions you give them. To make the student think put rephrase those yead and no question and make them an open ended question. Open ended questions are the best (in my belief) questions to ask the students. The video open ending questions with Andi Stix shows how to rephrase very typical questions into better questions for the students. When you rephrase a question always remember that you need to keep the question open for the students and to ask how did they come to that conclusion. Asking multiple questions at one time can confuse the students. It is better to ask question after question. The teacher will see which questions the students are having trouble with and which ones that the students know very well.

Peer review can be scary, it may also be difficult. I know personal I always have some grammar mistakes just ask my group. I know I'm not the best at peer reviewing but as someone who always has grammar mistakes in my assignment I always just go with a straight approach, because as soon to be teachers we personally know no ones perfect. That's why we must help out each other for all assignments and blogs. To be straight forward is showing that hey you did something wrong you might want to correct that. It may be a little direct but as long as they know it is to help them to understand in the future it is all worth it.
I know I probably made some mistakes already but other than the direct approach I learned that you can use a slightly less direct approach in Peer Review Slide that being more helpful by commenting and giving the paper compliments about how good their paper looks. While i have had many peer reviewers read my paper many of them always start out with some sort of compliment before telling me whats wrong. The compliment really helps out someone who knows he struggles in grammar giving them a boost by telling themselves that " Yeah I messed up but my classmate really loves how I counterargument the subject". Giving advise can be difficult but if they know that, even if it hurts the classmate a little, they are ultimately making them a better student in someway is always a great job.
