Learning is Messy: By Brain Crosby

I agree with Mr. Crosby that there's nothing like blogging to change student's attitudes about writing. He talks about how blogging helps to develop a student's writing, reading comprehension, critical thinking, digital citizenship, and communication skills. His students have made a book called "Making Connections with Blogging". I would buy the book and use it in my curriculum. His video on Back to the Future was outstanding, all teacher's should put so much time into making learning exciting and fun for their student's. Mr. Crosby shows how the use of technology is important to incorporate in all education. I also agree that we need to prepare ourselves and our student's for technology that will be arriving in the near future.

DW 21st Century Educator

David is a mathematics teacher and a learning specialist for technology at Stratford Hall in Vancouver, B.C. His video on parabola's is very interesting. The video kind of reminds you of what Dr. Strange say's about burp back learning. I agree with the video that most of the things we learn are never used in everyday life. I love his phrase "If I am to have faults, I would rather they be my own". As he shows in his video Doodling in Math Class with Vi Hart, teacher's need to learn new ways to keep a students attention in class, and one way to do it is to use technology.
