Do Now 9/29/2014

The meaning for the word editorial is of or relating to the commissioning or preparing of material for publication or a newspaper article written by or on behalf of an editor that gives an opinion on a topical issue. But to get to the point of this do now is what  is wrong with Wikipedia and the teachers. teachers do not want students to use this as a source because of the information that is on their site. almost everything that's on that site is false and that's why teachers don't like students using this site.

from this <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/education/teachers-please-stop-prohibiting-the-use-of-wikipedia/4319">article</a> it states that teachers don't like there students using it because from the information that is one there. Adding that some teachers will let students use this sit because the assessment doesn't count for anything for that class. but when the teacher doesn't let the student use Wikipedia that mean he/she wants the right information that is on the assignment. 

Those are the reasons why teachers don't like using the site. all the false information on the site is really bad for ex. lets say a student looks up mars and he/she gets a song. point being is that Wikipedia is a really bad site

5 ways how technology helps education

1. Better simulations and models

Schools set up simulations for students for math or science class so they can understad better. Face it students have that one thing that their not good at in one go these subjects. So by using the simulation or the models it we'll help the them for that subject.

2. Global learning 

Yeah students can look up videos or use a wiki for help to learn a different language but for school is a different story. Schools can set up language lessons on a computer with a touch of a button. For ex. Schools will use http://glovico.org/ for students to learn a different language or some thing like that.

3. E-Books

E-book can help students by reducing the amount of text books for the students. just look at it because students can hold ant type of tablet through out the day instead of holding four text books in your bag.

4. Epistemic games
Game that the schools can set up games for the class that they are in or the games can help the student with real life challenges or anything else.

5. Tech helps teachers
Teachers can use technology to see how the student or teachers can use this to see all the assignments. teachers can also use this for experiments to test the student to see how he/she is doing

Web 2.0 Multimedia blog posting

This year in World history with Miss. Garvin we are using the new laptops called the chrome books that the school had provided to some classes. through out the year we as the class will use them, when we us the laptops can help for each class to focus more and learn more. mainly for that class is just for history. http://wood-ridge.schoolwires.net/Domain/208 (teachers web site) Mrs. Garvin has been that good at all wasn't learning anything at all. last year i wasn't learning anything, but I'm hoping that can change this year. as of right now in class we are learning about the Renaissance. the renaissance time was when it was after the dark ages and the the golden age.

This year i am hoping i could learn more about the history than last year because i couldn't learn anything last. last year all  learned was about america witch i didn't really understand. but for this year I can learn something  else then America. now that we can use the laptops which can help a lot better for the time being.

the grading policy for the class is normal. for the class its going to be long but hopefully easy because its I'm not good at history at all. but the grading policy I dot really know she didn't really explain it but ill find out late.
