The definition of peer editing is working with someone your own age to help improve their writing. Being specific and careful are very important in peer editing. In the video, What is Peer Editing, states that there are three important rules to remember when you are peer editing.
1. Stay Positive and tell the writer what they did well
2. Check the punctuations, grammar, spelling and sentences.
3. Give ideas on how to make their writing better
Peer editing can be fun and helpful to others. When you peer edit you have to be careful also. You should think about how you would feel if someone was looking at your work. Different things are sensitive to different people. When I am peer editing in the future I will keep these rules in mind because sometimes its easy to be harsh on some people. I think It is good for students to see what other students have to say about their work rather than just teachers.

Teaching in the 21st Century
When I watched the video, I think that teaching is rapidly changing everyday. I also think that we should teach with the most updated devices and keep up with media. If you don't teach with the most updated devices, how are children suppose to go out into the world and be successful? It would be very hard on the children.
Networked Student
When I watched the video, Networked Student, I understood the concept of the video, but I do not agree with the video. I would rather the teacher take each task step by step. I like having structure to a course. I also like have a teacher there were I can ask question. I think it is good for students to have a relationship with their teacher also.
Hardness your students' digital smarts
Vici Davis uses all kinds of technology to connect her students to her world. Every student is different. Vici believes all students cannot learn with a pen and paper. She expects them to look up a word if they don't know what it is. She shows the students how to use the new software. Davis doesn't teach her students everyday, she has different ways of teaching that keeps the students involved.
Who's ahead in Learning Race?
Watching this video, completely blew my mind at how advanced first graders are. If these students are this good with computers and software now, I can only imagine how good they are going to be when they attend college. I think learning the material at a young age is good for the students. In my opinion, Elementary students are ahead in the learning race.
Flipping the Classroom
Flipping the Classroom, is completely new to me. I love the idea of flipping the classroom. There are so many good things that come from this idea. I like that the students are doing work at home with the parents. Flipping the classroom keeps the parents involved in the classroom. This will help me in my classroom because I want to use this idea and I think it will be helpful
Bringing the locker room to the classroom
Allowing students to work as a "team" is rewarding in my opinion. It brings all the children's ideas together. It is always a positive attribute if a person is open to new ideas. I feel this method would drive students to learn more.
In the video, Mr. Dancealot, Mr. Dancealot tries to show his students how to dance through a powerpoint. He didn't let any of the students participate, he only used the powerpoint. The only think he demonstrated was the "foxtrot" but the students were not allowed to stand up to watch. The class would of been more successful if he would have shown all the dance moves. This video shows that you have to let children interact to learn.

Coming into EDM310, I was very nervous, scared, and overwhelmed. I have heard from people that the class was hard and overwhelming. I also had people tell me that it would be okay just do not get behind on the assignments. The thing that is going to be difficult for me is getting use to everything being online. The best way for me to address my fear is for me to not get behind on my assignments. I really liked the way that Dr. Tashbin walked us through our first assignment today and made sure that everyone was on the same page.

2. Why I want to be an educator
3. What does an educator do
4. My passion
Hello Everyone,
My name is Candace King I was raised in a very small town called Millbrook, AL. I have two older brothers and two adorable nieces. I also have a dog named Riley that I love to death. I graduated from Stanhope Elmore High School in 2012. While I was in High School I was secretary of my class and was in the yearbook club. I have also played softball for 10 years and loved every minute of it. When I came to school here at South I did not know anyone. I joined a sorority and made some amazing friends while I have been here in Mobile. When I first came to South I had no clue what I wanted to do. I started working at a daycare and realized that I would love to work with kids all day and help them learn and watch them grow.
Teaching is an important job. It shapes kids' lives, and I think it is important to have someone that loves what they are doing everyday. Kids need someone that is kind, caring, and open minded. I want to be an educator because teaching is something I can see me doing everyday and loving it. When you are a educator, you make so many memories that are life long. I can't wait to make memories with my students.
