C4T #2

Summary of Post: Mrs. Paynter talked about how she was coming down with the cold but was excited to meet her colleagues out in Richmond Hill but became too sick and had to cancel her presentation. So she posted on her blog her slide presentation which talked about the use of blogging websites or other social media sites to help students,parents, and teachers stay connected.

Comment: Hello my name is Lucas Skinner and I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I enjoyed your presentation about blogging because blogging is very helpful in a teacher and students career. Blogging is an easier way for parents to feel closer to the teacher and understand what is going on in the classroom when all they have to do is go online to the class blog and see that such and such is due or ask a simple question to the teacher. Great post!

Summary of Post: Mrs. Paynter was sitting in the waiting room while her child was with the doctor and she overheard a little girl being excited about finding a red pencil to take back with her because she was in the "Red Group" at school. Mrs. Paynter goes on to wonder about what on earth the red group was and how it was decided that the little girl would be put into the red group. She then goes on to remind us that carefully planned group work will help students succeed in the classrom

Comment: Hello my name is Lucas Skinner and I am student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama. I have always agreed that students with similar needs should be put in groups together when it comes to group work just for the fact that it would be easier to help them all at once instead of individually. Your post made me thing about different types of grouping instead. Kids need to be diversified with the members of their group so they can all help each other. Great blog!
