What I learned from these conversations with Anthony Capps?
By: Chelsea Powers

I learned a lot by watching the interviews that Dr. Strange and Anthony Capps had done. I was truly amazed at some of the things that Anthony had his third grade students doing. I do not remember doing any type of projects like this when I was this age. I also like how he associates real life situations in his curriculum. I also learned that everything does not always go as planned in the classroom when you are teaching. There are so many resources you can use as a teacher to help you in the classroom. I also learned how important it is to find something that engages students to learn the material. Anthony Capps seems like a very devoted, caring, teacher that loves teaching. We need more teachers like this in the classroom.

We all had to stand up in 3 seconds and see if we all agree to stop the bully and we all stood up. Stop the bull.

What are PLN's?
By: Chelsea Powers

PLN stands for Personal Learning Networks. I have never heard of PLN before in my whole life. It always seems to amaze me of how much information and technology Edm310 has taught me. As overwhelming as this class may seem all the information is so useful. PLN has became very useful to me for managing and organize all of my work that I do on a daily bases where it is all in one place. I started off by creating an account with Symbaloo. They then sent me a very informative video on how the site works (see link below). I am still working on my PLN and learning more and more about this tool everyday.
