Wikis 10/29/13

Wikis can be put in to everyday class use because they are very useful for planning stuff. In other words, everybody can edit it and preform their own changes that help benefit one cause or plan. If we were to use a Wiki in Web 2.0 it would help because all of us as a class could join in on a document and form a precise piece of writing. Wikis are easily created at Wikispaces they are accessible by anybody and free to edit. I have used Wikis in the past for information however, Wikis are not the best source because anybody can edit meaning be cautious if using it for specific information.

Do Now 10/28/13

     I would love to own an invisible cloak for a day. Many people would take advantage in a bad and unjust way, but others would make a change for good. I would help those in need or danger because i would have no fear of being seen or hurt. When your invisible nobody can see you, almost making you invulnerable so why not prevent bad things happening to good people. For example if my neighbor's house was getting robbed i would be able to stop it from happening without them knowing, regardless if i liked the neighbor or not.
    I question why somebody would perform bad deeds and take advantage of their own city while invisible. I believe that you are rewarding yourself with something that you cant do everyday by saving somebody in danger. Everybody earns money by working so why would you waste your time stealing it while invisible. Knowing that you saved somebody's life is something very rare in the world, excluding the Army forces because they are the true heroes. Nobody knows what i did but me however, i feel accomplished and know i made use of my time.

Do Now: Sports History Course

     If i was a teacher i would setup a Sports History Course. This course would meet in a regular classroom and we would immediately get to work on the sport of the day. The sport of the day will be dependent on the weather and what is available. Students will all have to learn and acknowledge the rules and how to play then learn about the creators and purpose, a long with the legends that played. The classroom will have the same feeling as any mandatory classes such as mathematics, Sciences, and American Literature. Then it will alter when we actually do hands on game time and practice.

     Students will love this class because of the variety of different training we do to prepare them. In addition, just like other classes there will be tests and projects to manage grades. Projects will be given once in awhile on a random sport gone over to show that they have learned a lot about it and see if they are interested. I like to think of it as a fun project, maybe it would be a poster board history of American Football, or Basket Ball.
