Summary Post C4T Teacher #4

Manaiakalani
Film Festival 2010
This blog was about students coming together and making films for this film festival. People from all over would come to see these films as well. This gave the children a chance to do everything for the films with no help from adults. I commented back to this blog by saying that this sounds amazing. Children can learn many things about themselves by doing this kind of stuff. Also that sometimes people realize these children have amazing talents they didn’t know they had before.
Netbook Handover
This blog told us about how they were giving one class netbooks as an experiment. They are trying to further technology in their schools. Each year more and more students will get the netbooks. The students had to sign an agreement saying they will take care of the netbook and not use it in an inappropriate way. I commented back to this post and said this is not only showing the children how to research certain things and discover things on their own; but it is also teaching the children responsibility.

Final Report on PLN


My PLN has helped me out so much! I never knew that having a PLN would be so much fun! I have enjoyed this class very much. At first I thought this class was not going to be much fun at all, but it has turned out to be one of the most exciting classes I have ever taken here at USA. My PLN will help me out very much in the future.

Summary post C4K November and 12/5

Snakes
The boy’s blog I read was a short story that told us that snakes can be dangerous, snakes are sneaky and snakes can be big and little. He also had a picture of a huge snake below his story. I wrote him back and said; snakes can be sneaky. I also told him that the first thing I looked at in his short story was the huge snake in the picture below his story.

I am thankful for!
In this students blog they wrote about what they were thankful for. They wrote that they were thankful for their family. They also listed every member of their family they were thankful for. I wrote them back by saying that I am also thankful for my family and that I did not know what I would do with out them. I also told her I wished that my family was as big as theirs.
I am thankful for!
Here are the homework choices
This blog post was for any student who might have missed placed their homework sheet. I relied back to her homework assignment by saying that; this looked like a really fun way to learn spelling. And also I wish my teachers would have done this for me when I was in school.
Here are the homework choices
Rabbit
Yasmine was telling us about this rabbit her friend had and that they were going to teach it how to do tricks.  She told us that she doubts it will be easy to do.  I replied to her post by saying that I agree with her than it probably will be very hard to train the rabbit.  Good Luck!
