I would like to do either Week 5- Internet Communication or Week 12-Internet Safety. Either is fine with me!

Comment on Online teaching in emergencies? by Tayler Christiansen

Tayler Christiansen — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:59:05 +0000

I went from 5th grade all the way to graduation living in Virginia. We’ve had our share of emergencies: hurricanes, blizzards, etc. During those times, especially the blizzard of 2000 (missed a week of school) and Hurricane Isabel (missed a week of school, half the county still out of power for a month even though they got the schools running quickly). During these times, most of the county went out of power. During Hurricane Isabel, my family was out of power for 3 days and we were out of school 4 days. The electric companies rushed to fix the schools’ powers so that student could go back to school, yet, many of my friends still did not have power at home, so all computer based assignments (the very few there were in 8th grade) were canceled or postponed. So, I for one, don’t think it’s necessary all teachers learn this because in some cases, such as having no power, it would be useless. You can’t teach a class online if no one has any power. I understand with the H1N1 scare and all the Bird Flu scares in the East, that teaching on line would be preferable, but on the east coast of the US, it has no purpose.

Comment on Facebook changing privacy policy by Amanda Garlock

Very few people will probably EVER take the time to read the privacy policy. I think we should start a movement to get everyone to delete their facebook accounts and cultivate more authentic ways of connecting/dating people…

Funny you should mention that. I changed my security settings a few months back, but it seems I’ll have to change them again. My question now is when did I receive notification that they changed the settings again? I don’t remember them sending me anything in the past either.

Comment on Google Buzz – a Facebook killer? by Clifton

I’ve checked Google Buzz out a little bit, and I think that, at this point, it probably will not eclipse Facebook. Just an observation.

Comment on Audiobooks to promote literacy by Christie Cochrane

That is amazing! Thanks for the idea! I have learned while doing my practicum that many schools do not have copies of the novels that students can take home, and that means you have to read entire novels in class! Yikes! But studies have shown popcorn reading to be very in-effective in many ways (they embarrass poor readers and reading aloud is most effective when done by someone who reads well with good intonation and such.) So having these will be cost efficient and a savior for the English teacher’s voice!
