The Chipper Series
The Chipper Series
1. Chippers work isn't late because the present is the future.
a) Although her work is late it is still done. She obviously understood how to do the work.
b) Although she understood the assignment there was a deadline to be met and that deadline was NOT met. Therefore, the assignment was not completed as assigned.
c) I do agree that she completed the assignment and should get credit. However, I feel that because it was late she should only get partial credit.
2. Procrastination
a) Yes, we all procrastinate, but that does not mean it can be late.
b) Just because you plan on doing something does not mean its done.
c) We will all procrastinate but we also have to meet the deadline.
3. Chipper wants to be taught so that she doesn't have to learn.
a) It's hard to figure out how to do something on your own, and thats why we have teachers.
b) On the other hand, if we teach ourselves how to do something the chances of us forgetting how to do it are slim to none since you took the time out to teacher YOURSELF.
c) We all need guidance, and I think many of us think take guidance as the teacher should show us exactly how to do something. Guidance are the steps we need and we should take the information that they give us and put the pieces together for ourselves.
4. Chipper drops out of school
a) She just simply did not want to help herself and blamed it on the teacher.
b) A teacher's job is it show and explain how to do something. Not do it for you
c) You have to work hard to get what you want. Nothing comes easy
5. Timeline Pilot School
a) Yes it would be nice to go to school that allows you to only go when it is convient for you, but thats not the way the world works.
b) You must have enough experience to actually do the job, and proof as well.
c) I would not want someone who "thinks" they are certified to do a certain job! I want proof
6. Chipper includes simulation into her Timeline Pilot School.
a) Incorporating simulation can only help people learn. By no mean will it hurt.
b) However, Simulation is not hands on.
c) Simulation is a great idea for anything, but who wants someone who has never had hands on working around them. That could and would be a total disaster.
7. Chippers student Amelia
a) It's great that the simulation taught her how to use the basic tools to fly.
b) Simulation, however, is not flying. Its nothing more than a video game. This is why the FAA will not give her a license.
c) I wouldn't give her a license either. You must spend more than a month on learning how to fly, and you must have hands on experience.
8. The FAA shuts Timeline down
a) I have no supporting positions. I agree that they should have shut it down.
b) As I have already stated, simulation is nothing more than an in depth video game.
c) I would have never let an individual open a school for flight that consisted of only simulation and whatever hours they would like to attend.
9. Ms. Wright Fires Chipper
a) Yes, we all have busy lives, but being a teacher is not just a job. Its a career and responsibility.
b) Being a teacher is much more than people realize. Your first priority is the students. Not your boyfriends feelings.
c) You have to want to be a teacher. This is not a job. Its a love and career.
10. Chipper becomes a waitress
a) We are human and we do make mistakes. Everyone drops things.
b) You must try not to make mistakes right in front of people no matter what your job is, and if you do you must try your best to fix them. Do not make a joke of it, because your costumers will not find it funny. This applies to any job or career.
c) You are to try your best to do your job correctly. You must give your all no matter whether you like your job or not. You signed up for it.
11. Chipper becomes a nanny
a) Yes, if you are a nanny children will watch some television.
b) No, you can not leave the children in front of the televison all day as you play on facebook. The parents that your are being a nanny for hired you so that they don't have to sit in front of the t.v all day, but to have interaction, exercise and learn information of any kind. You are more or less being paid to be their friend.
c) No matter what you do in life, you will always have responsibilities. That is life. Who wants someone who doesn't care to be in charge of anything, and especially their children? I know I wouldn't!
12. Chipper becomes a Garbage Collector
a) I suppose she is trying and it is a job.
b) This is not a honorable or ladies job. Who really wants to be a garbage collector? Nobody.
c) I'm sorry she had to go this far to learn that she should have never quit school, but some people like to learn the hard way.
13. Chipper decides to go back to school
a) This is the best idea she could've had since the video started.
b) She has to start all over again just because she was hard headed. Nothing is ever going to be easy, because that's just they way it is and always has been. Life is a short and full of obstacles.
c) You go to school and work hard to get a career you love and work hard. Its all about working hard to get what you want

Goodbye EDM310
Althought the class is over I will continue to use all the information I have learned except for twitter. I hope everyone else learned as much as I did, if not more.
Final Assignment
1.
~Blogging: Blogging has been a great experience. This is something that I would defintely continue to use throughout college, as a teacher in the classroom as well as outside of class for personal use. It truely is a wonderful tool.
~Twitter: Twitter is a tool that I really do not care for. It's extremely hard to grasp the whole concept of it. I find that blogging is very useful, but twitter just seems pointless unless of course I have friends of there but even then I just assume to blog or use facebook.
~iTunes and iTunes U: These are wonderful tools. I have used iTunes for serveral years now, but as for iTunes U I am still new to it. iTunes U is more great for podcasting. It is also interconnect with colleges all over the world which is awesome because you can get to know what's going on around their campus and surrounding area.
~Comments4Kids: Comments4kids was a really neat thing to do for everyone. Problem more for the children apposed to us, but it was a really good idea for our assigments. It almost gave us a taste of what it will be like to be a teacher. I really appricated the teacher who made the comment to our class. She said that instead of just telling their post was great, tell them to watch their punctuation, spelling or grammar.
~Comments4Teachers: Comments4Teachers was also a great idea for our assigments because we were able to hear about what they were doing in class or what they were having problems with in class and how to fix them. Most of them were interresting and then some were not. My first Comment4Teachers blog really didn't say much and I don't think that teacher posted a blog since last November.
~PLN: Before this class I had no idea what a PLN was or what to use for one. Dr. Strange has made sure that we know how to use the better tools on the web in order to enhance our future teaching skills and techniques.
~Google Docs: Our class has unltimately revolved around google docs. We have made presentations and a survey using google forms. Everyone of our assigments is posted in google docs. Google is very user friendly and it would be hard to switch away from it. I have so many rss feeds on my igoogle homepage that it's not even funny, but I love it. Everything is one click away.
2. To be honest I think I learned way more than I had expected in the beginning.
3. There really aren't anythings in this class that I didn't want to learn. However, there is one tool I will probably never use again and that is twitter.
4. I was really excited about learning how to use imovie even though that wasn't part of the class. I am still excited about blogging. I haven't set up a personal account yet, but as soon as finals are over that's top on my list. I love it.
5. One thing that was intellecutalling challegeing was podcasting. I was weird at first, and then realized it's not much different than the radio. I like it, but probably wouldn't do much of it. I do listen to them on iTunes.
6. The information that we learned was not boring at all. However I did find that being in the classroom did not do much for me. I learned more from making phone calls to Dr. Strange and Mr. Tashbin. The best part of this class was that Dr.Strange would post exactly how to do a certain task.
7. There is noting that I would take away from the class and I do not feel that I'm over worked at all!
8. I feel that I am at a low-medium level of being technologically enhanced. I have learned alot and use alot but I know that their is still so much to learn.
9. I have subscribed to PC magazine and have learned little things here and intend on creating my own personal blog and follow blogs about technology as well a education.
