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.
