Reation to the Fischbowl

This short movie was very knowledgeable and insightful. The things the movie showed me were things that I had no idea about. In the beginning it stated that in 8 sec. 34 babies are born. That piece of information is remarkable. I had no idea that so many babies were born in so many seconds. The movie also expresses how we as a people are advancing fast through technology. I also wonder will my kids be ready for this fast approaching technology.
I was also amazed by the number of married couple that meet online 1 of 8. That is very surprising to me to think that a person can meet their mate online. Also it was amazing to learn that of the 2006 graduates in India a 100% of them speak English. I was amazed to learn about that since English is one of the hardest speaking language. What also amazed me is that collaboration is done throughout the world on classroom projects. This is very exciting for me to learn as a up coming teacher that I could be collaborating with different people all over the world. This was a very good movie to see. It was very insightful and I will recommend this movie for my fellow friends and classmate to watch.

Information about Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide ( ACCESS)

ACCESS is a distance learning program used to bring together teachers and students all over Alabama through technology. This program provides high school students with the opportunity to take classes that are not offered at their school. This program is a good thing for students that want to learn about subjects not taught at their school.

Information about Alabama Learning Exchange ( ALEX)

ALEX is a website design for teachers. This website provides information about all areas of course study such as Science, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Art, Career Technical, Driver ED, Health, Physical Education, and Technology Education. The site also break the subject down to different subject within that field of study. It also breaks down various subject and what it entails. An example of this would be for science it shows you all the different sciences that are taught from K-12. It tell you about the Alabama Content of Standard and what needs to be taught for that particular subject. It also tells you what you need to do for different labs and what needs to be taught. The website also shows you lesson plans in each subject area. The site gives you detail lesson plan for the subject you are teaching.

The site also has a professional learning where you can learn about different ways to teach your students and much more. The site also offer distance learning where you can find more courses that students can take. I believe that ALEX will be really helpful to me when I start teaching. It will provide me with all the resources I need to start off as a new teacher. I will be able to look at all the things that are availible and have an idea on the different types of lesson plans and how to set them up. When I do start teaching this will be the number 1 website that I go to for most of my resources.
