“Teachers create all other professions”

Jerrid's blog was mainly about how teachers create all other professions.  Jerrid mentioned that teachers even create their own profession. Some of the students that you're teaching now may become teachers. Jerrid's main focus in his blog was that teachers modify good effective teaching. Be sure that when you're teaching your setting a good example for our future educators.

Hey Jerrid, 
My name is Amanda Weller and I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. From past references, I would definitely say that its important as a teacher to give their students a positive vibe about teaching and learning. I don't think teachers realize how important it is to motivate learning. If students don't see motivation and positive influences it could lead them in a bad direction. You should want your students to taking something with them when they leave your class and this should be one. Thanks for sharing!

Jerrid's Blog: 
In Jerrid's blog he talks about his summer ed course that he recently taught and how some of the students were too quick to judge. Jerrid wanted to know what was wrong with this picture. He wanted to incorporate technology within his classroom and the students were not understanding why. Jerrid explained to his class the pros and cons of both sides. Jerrid explained that learning should be curious. Technology helps reinforce traditional teaching, create inequity in the classroom, and possibly help reduce the intellectual level within the class.

Jerrid,
My name is Amanda Weller and I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I definitely think that technology can be sometimes positive and negative at times. As of now, I am taught to incorporate technology in all of my teaching. I think its important as teachers that we pay attention and keep an open mind to new ideas for new resources. I think that without technology in the classroom students wont be engaged in learning. Most students don't pay attention to a boring lecture, so why not use technology? I know there are several good and bad situations with both, but the good is seen more. Thank you for sharing!
