Good evening class,  Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. After reading Chapter 4 of the Connected Educator it made me think about a couple of things. The chapter first starts off on how you may change your values and beliefs to create a connected learning with other people. You not only give someone else a different perspective of what you are thinking, but you also gather different information of what others think. This chapter also focuses on "Putting Relationships First". What they mean by this is having a strong and positive relationship gives you opportunities to build relationships and expand them. I think it is very important in having a strong and positive relationship because it means that you and them are on the same page and if you disagree with something you talk it out and work it out. Another big thing to think about is having trust. If you don't have trust with someone, then what is the point of talking to them or hanging out with them. That is a big when ...

Good Morning Class,  I n ch apter 5 you will read and learn about how to promote and how to have success in your networking. One term that they point out in chapter 5 is "bookmarking". They define bookmarking as a way to organize the content that you search online an d grouping it together. The content that you search online can include either websites, pictures, and blogs that you can access. Also in chapter 5 they discuss an example of bookmarking and the example that they use is called Dingo. The app Dingo is a very helpful app if you decide to use it, and the brief rundown of Dingo is that it is an app to help you gather information from different websites and store it on your computer. Before starting this class I have never used blogger before, but since I have started using it, not only am I gathering information on different subjects, but I am learning new things from people who have a different stance on the subject than I do. There are many different ways you can ex...

 Good Morning,      There are people who set goals to achieve what and where they want to be. Others don't set goals, and sometimes have trouble finding what they want to do and where they would like to be. One term that was brought up was Networking. Now what is Networking? NetWorking is  is  t he exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting . With Networking you not only provided people with your idea on the topic, but you also gather other opinions on the topic. With this it makes you think about how your idea may be the same as the others, or how it may be different than others. We have so many helpful tools now then we did before. We can use these tools and the knowledge that we have we can go as far as we try. As we try and navigate Networking, take some things into consideration and ask yourself is this person a professional and from what background do they come fro...

 Good evening Class,      The topic that I chose for my smackdown is Crash Course. Crash Course is an educational program on YouTube with a wide variety of topics you can learn from. Some of my professors used Crash Course to help us grip the topic of discussion in class. With Crash Course, they go in depth about the topic that you are studying and it provides you with the videos and tips you need in order to study that subject. Crash Course first video debuted in 2011, and it has been going strong ever since. It has over 1.6 billion views, and more than 13 million subscribers.      Crash Course not only goes over each topic, but it gives you a virtual description as well. I have used Crash Course in the past and still use it to this day. It has helped me out so much, especially while studying Anatomy and Physiology. It gave me a detailed look at parts of the human body, and how they work. I liked learning on Crash Course because if I was stuck on some...
