Pic


I picked this picture because, I like animals.
I don't like talking about my emotions but, it kind of makes me feel good.
I hope my video turns out being a peaceful picture.
Doesn't think it make you think of getting along?
I'm doing my video on animals in general.

Moving in school

In media communication class we watched a video on a study from ABC. That was about kids and moving in school increases productivity.

- What did you think about the study abc news did?
It has very good points and Our school does some of that and I think it works for some people but ,not everyone.
- Do you agree with their findings?
They have proof how can't you? (so yes...)

- How does LMA meet or not meet students need to fidget?
They have fidgets for us and understand and let us use them.
What programs are in place at LMA?
We have a censor room.

If you don't know yet, what questions might you have?
Is that the only program?

- What do you wish school and teacher better understood about the way you need to learn?
I really feel like I would get along with teachers better if they treated me more like an equal. If I feel like we get along then I can learn easier.

Edmodo

We are using a website that's called Edmodo it's basically a website where you can chat and teachers can oversee the chats and even grade you on there it's pretty cool I guess.

Ok on your blog you are going to give a review of EdModo
- How could this be used in the classroom?
To send links, to copy, and not having to talk across the room.

- Would this enhance class discussion or distract from it?
I think a little of both But, it would be more beneficial if we did use it more.

- Do you think EdModo could catch on in large classrooms?
Yes because its basically texting and people do that in school all the time.

- How would it help or distract you as a learner?
It would make it easier to follow along with things by just being able to go back to see what you missed.

Blog #5

This blog is a topic that directly relates to me. The blog is about the end of a free demo on the PlayStation 3. It's called Uncharted 2 and it was a very fun game. Yet some people are angry that they ended the demo just because, the game came out. Many other games have came out with demos and they keep them but, this one was a bit different it was a beta. A beta is a experiment of a game that still isn't fully completed. I understand why they got rid of the demo because it was a beta but, still over 17,000 people were enjoying the game all at once.

Matt Blog 4

To improve my blogs I plan to try to lay out the text better so it's easier to read. I also will try to write more but, I'm not too good at expanding things. I will try to explain things better.

Week 3 blog

My opinion on web conferences is it's quite useful for people accost the states. It was useful that they could help each other with video and audio they could even talk back and forth.
There was downsides if something wasn't working the person couldn't physically help them. They would have to tell them what to do and if they're not to good with directions or computers they could easily get lost. You also could miss hear them and make a mistake then get lost. It would be better if everyone had a web cam and could show what they're doing to each other to catch mistakes.

Blog week 2

Basically all week in Media Communication class we watched a facebook video on a women that was ripped off. The story was she got emails on facebook that said her cousin was in London and needed money to get back home. She sent the money to her without talking to her in person. She got another email saying she needed even more money then she found out that she got ripped off. It wasn't really her cousin that needed help. Her cousins facebook was hacked so she sent money to someone she didn't know and couldn't get it back.
Me and Mike also made a podcast about how to adopt a pet. The podcast was basically saying that if you wanted to adopt a pet. It talks about the steps to adopting a pet.
