What I got from Learning from Baby George , is that Mike Welsh doesn’t see his students as failures. He believes that everyone has their own strengths and talents that unfortunately the education system may sometimes  fail to see and/or acknowledge but that doesn’t mean that a student isn’t smart or incapable, it just means that they are learning in a different way!   We all should be doing something that we love and just go for it, pushing ourselves to keep going step by step to accomplish the goals that we have for ourselves and once we’ve accomplished that goal, it’s still not the end of the journey, it’s just the end of a chapter. Life continues to go on and on and sometimes we’re going to go through trials and tribulations but we shouldn’t take that as failures or reasons to give up, rather, we should take them as learning experiences and reasons to keep going. We are constantly learning as we go through life, and we even start learning more and more things about our...

 After watching  The Pensky Slide Deck  and reading Chapter 7 of It's Complicated , I felt a personal connection with both assignments. As someone who would be considered as a "Digital Native" I definitely agree with the points Pensky made to a certain degree when discussing Digital Natives and how they contrast to Digital Immigrants.

 Hey everyone,  I'm Tamera, currently and After School (Afterzone) Site Coordinator at a Providence Public Middle School. Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. I loved to learn and was always excited about learning and when I grew up I knew that I wanted to be a teacher and make students just as excited to learn as my teachers made me! However, as I got older, I realized that learning doesn't necessarily have to take place in a classroom in fact, at least for me, some of my most funniest and most genuine joyful times learning weren't in in the classroom. Doing extracurriculars like softball and chorus in high school not only broke me out of my shy shell but doing two activities at the the same time that were so different taught me a lot about myself! Being able to interact with my peers was also a great way for me to learn to as we all learned from each other!   This summer has been a little hectic so far for me but whenever I start feeling anxious I start pla...
