Mr. Dancealot-

I really enjoyed watching this video, Mr. Dancealot used modern technology too teach a course made for dancing. His students seem too be confused on his teaching method. I believe the central message for this video is that technology is being integrated though all areas of classes and courses. Although, technology has its many perks, but when teaching a dance course, Mr. Dancelot may would have a better response from his students if he actually "danced". By the conclusion of the video, the students were very confused on their final exam. I really wasn't surprise by their reaction at all. They probably were looking for more of a formal exam;instead, they were given a actual dance with a partner exam. Given how the beginning of the class was instructed, Mr. Dancealot should have leaned toward more of a written exam.

Teaching in the 21st Century-

I-  Robert may think that teaching in the 21st century means that students need too know not only answers, but how too find the answers too their questions. Also, how too effectively look for their answers the correct way. 

II. Robert feels that with technology in classrooms,students should initiate their minds too think of all possible questions and answers. Using technology should drive you too exhaust all possible answers too your educational journey.

III. As technology in the classrooms rapidly increases students will/do have a lot of information in their possession. I think as a future educator my job will be to teach how too locate the correct and factual information.

The Networked Student-

I found this video too be very familiar, especially in the college setting. The network learner basically gathers his/her information though websites,audio,blogs,and the teacher. The student will still need the assistance of the teacher because the teacher provides knowledge of the student approaches a problem. The network learner will need assistance from the teacher with approaching correct information,and also for guidance through the progress of his/her studies.

Digital Smarts-
In the Digital Smarts video Ms. Davis uses technology to educate and connect her students to different parts of the world. Ms.Davis uses computers, cell phones, twitter, etc too farther their educational journey. I love Ms. Davis's teaching method. I believe that her teaching methods excites her students too learn from a different learning environment. The students where not only excited about learning too operate the aviators, but they where connecting with students from different parts of the country. 

Who's Ahead in The Learning Race-
Its amazing seeing little children in elementary school operating Mac notebooks! I was truly amazed that children as young as kindergartners were operating notebooks correctly and effectively. The way technology is rapidly advancing I believe every school will have access too notebooks in every grade. By watching the video the elementary students are definitely ahead in the learning race!!!!!!!!!

Flipping the Classroom-
Flipping the classrooms is a very interesting method of teaching. Students will have the opportunity too get a head start on the material that will be taught in the classrooms. I believe that this method will be very helpful too the students as well as teachers. Students will be more engaged in class discussions on their lesson material.

Bring The Locker Room To The Classroom
I can really relate too this article very well. Sometimes we  are so engaged in
listening too the material the teacher is giving and burping back the information. This article teaches us too use a team approach. Outside of the educational environment we are going too have learn too be a team player.
