1. In the first video I believe the central message is that the way classes are taught should vary in what the class is. In this video the teacher is trying to teach students how to dance but is just using still pictures and not actually showing them how to do the dances so when they have to actually do them they are not prepared. The author makes his case for this by showing how the students didn't know any of the dances for the final. I agree with this conclusion because as with anything in life practice makes perfect and if you just sit back and take notes and not learn how to do what you are trying to learn it will be much harder.
2. In the second video Roberts is making an argument that the way students are being taught are changing into a more technological form. He explains how we can get facts anywhere at anytime though things such as Google or Wikipedia. As a teacher he believes that students should be taught in a more skill-based curriculum rather than the facts and information based curriculum that is the norm in teaching today. This will change everything about how future teacher myself included will be teaching. As teacher we will have to learn some of these skills ourselves.
3. The networked student really opened my eyes to how much social medias can enhance the class room. It implies how in the 21st century teachers should be more of a guide and mentor than just a person who stands in front of the class and tell them what to study and what to do. I am really interested in this form of teaching because it lets the student become move involved and actually use things they are interested in to learn the things they need to know.
4. Davis's teaching method seems to be more of what teaching in the 21st century will be. She believes that having her students work collaboratively with others to solve problems, do projects and connect socially will help their overall learning experience. I think this form of teaching is a very positive step in education because it not only teaches students the facts and information they need to learn but also the skills such as working with others, finding information when it is not handed to them and also how to get information they learn out to others. This style of teaching teaches the student to not just be taught by someone but to also teach themselves.

1. Somethings I heard previously about EDM 310 before signing was that we had to do multiple projects, and couldn't miss a class.
2. I can't really think of any fears I have about EDM 310.
3. The differences between EDM 310 and other classes I have taken in college are in EDM 310 we work in more of a group environment as in other classes it was more of an individual effort. The only real similarity is that we get an individual grade for the class.
4. My biggest fear about EDM 310 is that I might forget to do a blog post seeing as I'm doing this post at 11 on Sunday night.
5. Doing the assignments as soon as possible instead of putting it off until the last minute

My name is Ross Franklin Reed. I was born in Fairhope, Alabama. But, throughout my childhood, I moved back and forth between Daphne and Jackson, Alabama. My major interest are sports, spending time with with my friends and family, and touching peoples lives. This is the reason that I want to become a teacher and a coach. I want to be able to inspire children to be more and to possibly change their lives. I am attending USA because I received a presidential scholarship for academics.
My father, Jerry Reed, was a teacher and a coach at Leroy High School in Leroy, Alabama. My mother, Cheryl Reed, owns The Sugar Kettle, a restaurant in Daphne and Bay Minettee. In High School, I played baseball and football, winning three state championships in football.
In the 21st century, an educators job entails inspiring children to go the extra mile and extraordinary rather than ordinary. It also involves knowing how to properly use technology to do these things.
I love playing baseball and also helping teach others the game and how to improve their skills. Something I could get better at is managing my time for school better and not procrastinating so much. I'm the co-owner of a clothing company I started with my friend, Lee Cockrell, called Southern Ways. All in all, I want to change people's lives in any way that I can.
