PLN19

I commented on the Weblogg-ed blog on the article Many Models:

I believe that the outer model of a school is not the real thing that matters with schooling but I tend to think that when one who continues to support the factory model of life continues to support the factory model in every aspect of thinking. There are some places that this statement is false but the real battle in schools is keeping teachers and administrators thinking differently with new and improved ideas. "Factory model" thinking is not good in any aspect. For learning to continue at greater levels the teaching has to evolve and therefore thinking has to evolve. Times change and so should teaching and learning. Teachers should not teach the same thing the same way for years and years. Change needs to be made. Everything evolves, if things do not evolve they eventually die off. If learning does not evolve it will have the same fate as everything else it will die off. This would be a terrible thing, which would most likely not happen because someone would come along and change the way of thinking causing learning to evolve and continue on. This is what everyone needs to do and if everyone did try to change the way of the thinking learning would evolve to be very strong.

Good job with explaining your PLNs. You did a very good job with looking at the audience because you knew your PLNs so well. I think it was cool that you expressed your ideas. Good last PLN presentation

Nowlan, good job on your presentation. Try to look a little less at your notes and a little more at your audience. However, other than that, you did great at speaking loud and giving strong points and opinions.

Nowlan! I agree with you that the school board should have a certain brand of computers that they have to have for their schools. You spoke very loud and had good eye contact. Great job!

Nowlan, you did a good job on making eye contact and speaking loudly. You would sometimes ramble on an idea and it would get confusing. Just try to state your points, details, and opinions. Good job.

Nowlan-I think that they sould not have to buy a certain type of laptop and they should be able to get the ones so that they can get more so that more classes can get them. Also good eye contact and not relying on your notes. Also good connections and plns.
