Peer Editing
Peer editing is a hard thing to do because sometimes people or our peers have a tendency to take things very personal and they are offended by your remarks and comments. Personally I have never thought of peer editing as making suggestions and complimenting as in the video What is Peer Editing and Peer Edit with Perfection Tutorial. To me, the idea of complimenting them first instead of telling them what they did wrong brightens up the whole comment. The suggestions should come after to the compliments so make sure they are specific. I think peer editing is great because it gives you a point of view from a student instead of always a teacher.
In the video Writing Peer Review TOP 10 Mistakes is how I feel when I am peer editing someones paper or they are peer editing mine. I feel like I am being rushed, told I am doing wrong, I cant do it, or all the above when my peer is just trying to help me.
Technology in Special Education
The video Technology in Special Education is amazing. There are so many children in the world that want to be normal, talk and communicate just like everyone else but they cant. That is why we have ipads, ipods, computers, smart boards, etc.
Since I am going into special education all the technology stuff excites me. Not only am I getting to work with precious special needs children I am also getting to learn with them on how all the technology works with whatever the case might be. I totally agree with technology for special needs children, because it betters the child and helps them to learn more and do better.
Apps
My special education app that i picked was this:
The reason I picked this app was because I think it could easliy work with any special needs child. This app is all about learning basic words, how to put them together, and how to say them. I think this would benefit a lot of children and to help them start off small and on their level.
The video Harness you Students' Digital Smarts everything is so true. Not only do different children learn in different ways but they also need to know how to do stuff on their own. This video explains everything. Like the teacher said in the video, children get so bored with just a pencil and piece of paper. Stick a computer in front of them and teach them how to blog, link stuff, insert this and that, then they will spend hours on the computer versus a pencil and paper and they will get more done.

Did you know?
This did you know video blew my mind. It is amazing to know that so much technology can be used in one minute but in just one second. There is so much technology out in this world that it is unbelievable. Technology has improved so much in the past few years that you have everything at your finger tips.
This video motivates me a ton. What blew my mind the most was the texting. Over 11 million text are sent out each minute. That is a ton, and some of the is me. India has the highest IQ's in the entire world. It makes me want to become a better leaner, a better listener, a better person, and most of all a better teacher. I can make a difference not only in the school I will teach at but in the United States and bring the IQ of children or adults up.
Mr. Winkle Wakes
Mr. Winkle over 100 years old had no clue what any of the new technology was. He was surprised at what had changed over a hundred years, except the school part. School hadn't changed that much cause it was just like he pictured and remembered from a hundred years ago.
Its amazing for me too really look back 20, 30, 40 years ago and see how much technology has come along. I do not think we could live with out technology today. Technology provides and makes it so much more easier to find things now days.
The Importance of Creativity
Creativity is so important these days. Not only is creativity important but talent is also. Today in the world we have some of the most talented and creative children. Most parents see there children as trouble maker and full of to much energy when in result the children just want to play a sport, draw, dance or do whatever. The parents do not take enough time to figure there children out they just take them to a doctor for them to figure it out.
I think children should be able to do whatever they want to do as far as academic wise. Like he said so many parents think something is wrong with there child so they immediately result to medicine when in reality you need to stick them in an activity to let all that energy out. A personal experience with me, at my job i have a server autistic child. Well with me going into special education I immediately fell in love with this child. All the other people I work with get so aggravated at him when al he wants is somebody to listen to him and play with him. the other day the child called me over there and he wanted to draw so I go him some paper and crayons and he started to draw dinosaurs and flowers and all this stuff and my heart started to smile.
Glass
Glass is amazing, especially this glass. When I looked at this post and saw it had something to do with glass I thought was does this class and glass have in common, well now I see because this is mind blowing.
Personally i think every school should have these. Now I know that is not going to happen but it would be awesome. Glass outside, glass in the car, everything made of glass I would personally love. I would have to take a class on how to use the glass ipad and the dash board of the car and the glasses from the air plane. Why cant we all just have a ton of money and buy it for ourselves. Maybe one day!
