After watching the 7th grader's PLE, I was very impressed.  It did not blow me away to see that her PLE was much better then mine at all.  I saw it coming from the beginning.  She did a great job on setting everything up. Kudos.

Whats my sentence? It has not been created yet. Someday something will happen and it will be created and known.

Was I better today than yesterday? As of today, I was better than yesterday.  I have been more productive and not lazy. Ups and downs of everyday. Maybe my tomorrow will be better than today, maybe not.

Here is Brandon's post talking about fitness. He did such a great job and was very clear.

This is a link to Dante's blog. He was amazing and I learned about whale hunters and some of the history of New Zealand.  It was pretty cool.

Blogging - 


I do not like blogging, I never have. I find blogging to be a little ridiculous majority of the time.  Don't get me wrong, it is a great idea for people all around the world to view your blog.  However, how many people really search blogs sites for people half way across the world.  I don't and I'm pretty sure half the people in my classes don't either.  So back to why I prefer not to blog; I usually do not think that I have anything of that much importance to say to people I do not know or why they would want to know what is going on it my life.  
I have had to blog for other classes along with EDM 310 and my feelings towards blogging still have not changed.  I would much rather do something else than blog.  Hypothetically speaking I did enjoy blogging, I would not be discussing my views on technology, what technology I might be using as a teacher (honestly, I don't know until I reach that part of my life), early pioneers and so forth.  I'm sure whoever you are reading this that you might be wondering what I would be blogging about.  Honestly, I am not too sure, but I do know that it would not be about the above topics.  Maybe about some of the music I like, my tattoos and future tattoo ideas, taco bell, things I do with my friends..... 
 As you can tell by know and by my choice of words that I am not the hugest fan of blogging. Any ideas that you think could change my mind?  I'm all ears (or eyes).

Why is it important for students to post their work to blogs?

There are three main reasons why students should post their work online. One reason is for all the grandparents, parents, and siblings who are overseas fighting in a war or traveling and  and can not be present to see the progress of their family member.  This is a wonderful way to see their are projects and anything else that is being posted.  Another reason is for your teacher.  If they need to look at current projects or items from the past they can always view previous blog post.  And the last reason is that using blogs to post students work will give them more technology experience for the future.
 Example:

"I'm a PC and I'm four and a half"
