do not track plus

  In our class we were told to download do not track plus on our computer.  It blocks trackers from getting onto you computer or see what you are doing.  Going through the websites I use on a daily basis CNN.com had the most 12 tracking, this page, blogger.com has one.   Facebook had only two trackers but ABCmouse.com, a site that I use for my children has 7, kind of scary to see that even a child's website had these trackers.  It is strange to see that there are so many websites that track a users where abouts and what they see a person looking up and getting on, on a days worth on the computer.

 Question 11

  The video talks about how drive by download are something of everyday use from opening a web site or email. The site installs strange things on a person's computer without their knowledge but when the user sees the problem they run a program to help get rid of it. Also seems like a different URL and it seems like it will help you.  All of these things will get an intruder into your computer and loads more malware and soon shows the hacker everything they need.  It is a scary thing to see.  If this is happening to some computers it is happening to all. People need to purchase security help and everything that will protect them from a hacker.

Padagogy wheel 8

With this padagogy wheel it helps pull and put together ideas for lesson plans using iPads and their apps. With so many different apps out tree a student can use the iPad for just about any subject the teacher is teaching that day.

Ex: a kindergarten teacher is teaching a math lesson. On the iPad there is an app for "numbers" where it can show a student numbers and how to add, subtract, and much more with numbers. Also there are mind mash apps where it looks like it would give activities using math and other subjects to help a student learn, analyze, and understand the content given to them.

Arts integration to enhance common core

This article gives some good ideas on how a teacher can use visual arts for teaching a lesson.  How drama can be used for mathematics and how music help with composition skills. It tells how every art subject can be used in another subject to help a child better understand everything basically.  The talk on how to make a child expand and do their own thing and become an individual.

I like the idea of using art to help children learn and broaden their horizon.  The part about how a child can become a chief instead of a cook is a really good analogy, they need to be taught to think for themselves and to create something of their own and not someone else ideas.  To use music and drawing and drama is the greatest idea to do plus children love to be active and draw, to dance and sing about the things they learn.  I have seen through my own children that they not only memorize but understand the lyrics to a song better than being told, the clean up song that they do for preschool kids is one of many ways that this has help children learn and understand. 

John Hunter and the World Peace Game

A 21st century wisdom table, world peace game, an experimental idea.  With no program to follow for the gifted classes he had open ideas for teaching.  With his teacher's in the past coming out in him helped him teach this class.  Coming from a segregated school it helped him appreciate teaching students today about everything.  The world peace game he took a board and laid out a map and made a learning game out of this board.  Now it has become 3d with different levels of the world and ocean.  Outer space, land and sea, undersea, to show the world.They make up different cities and different classes of people.  He wanted to see if they could solve the problems of Africa.  This was a hands on interactive lesson, with problems they need to solve that they have to figure it out, like what would happen in famine, oil spills, and other things. There is always a student who can give out and not follow which are the destruction of everything, which is a good idea for there is always an step back. This game shows how to fix the world because they will soon need to.  This is like an assessment of learning where they cannot test this knowledge but see that they are learning through all these efforts.  Every game is different, but they are still learning on what do to on their own and have this hands on teaching approach seems to work so much better than to have children sit down and memorize things and then be tested on it.  This is a great way to teach and it should be taught like this in many school.  Let the children be in charge and learn about things and figure out how to solve worldly problems,even if its fictional it gets them thinking about the what, who's, how and why's.  The classes in Mississippi would have a grater learning ability in understanding the world and how to get them thinking about life in general and what they can do in order to fix things around them.  In these schools students sit at a desk and just take notes but with hands on and learning by doing is a great way of getting a child to be curious about everything.
