The video I watched was about the Earth as a System. It briefly talked about the different things that takes place on the earth. The video talked about how the earth is the only planet that has life. It also shows how oceans circulation causes moisture to form in the air. The video shows were earthquakes and volcanoes are formed and their locations. One thing that was very interesting to me is that it showed how earth looks at night from the satellites. That was very interesting to see the earth from space at night.
The videos can be helpful to me as a science teacher. I can use it as a tool for my students to learn. As a teacher I can also use these video as a teaching tool for my students. I can have my students get involve with science by having them do some type of podcast about different projects. The podcast will help my students get interested in science.
I really did enjoy the different podcast that talked about science. It really showed me different ways I can interact with my students by using podcast. I will be using these videos as a teacher. I would like to have a video podcast as a teacher. I believe that my students will benefit from this type of podcast.

The Edible Schoolyard and A night in the Global Village
The Edible Schoolyard was a really good podcast. The students would create their own vegetable garden. They would learn about all different subjects such as math, science, social studies, and etc. The students would learn how to cooperate with one another and group projects. This was a very good podcast and it would be good to use as a teacher.
A Night in Global Village was also a good podcast. It talk about how students traded their life in the USA for a life in a third world country. The students got a chance to see how it was to live in a poor country without the luxuries in the USA. This trip would teach the students so many things such as values. The students would value what they have and never take it for granted.
Podcast like these would be very useful to me as a teacher. I could use the first podcast in my science classes. This would teach the students about how things grow. I could also teach this activity as a group project. The students would learn how to work together and get along. Taking field trips to other countries would be another thing that I could use. This would teach a child to appreciate what they have. I'm going to use all of these ideas as a teacher.

i Tunes University
I think that i Tunes University is a very good educational tool to use. You can find different types of audio of classroom lectures. As a teacher I will be able to learn about different colleges and what they are doing on i Tunes. It also has educational information on different things. You can also go on i Tunes University to different categories and pick out different subjects such as business, math, science, and etc.
Also you can go to different course pages of each university and learn what the professors are teaching in their classrooms. I really like i Tunes University it will be very helpful for me as a student and teacher. As a student I can go on there to listen to different podcasts. Also as a teacher I can go on there to learn about the different things that are taught in science. I will enjoy going on i Tunes University as a student and a teacher. The website I went to is www.apple.com/education/mobile/learning.

Wikipedia Response
I also believe that wikipedia cannot be trusted. The reason why is because if anyone can change something in wikipedia it is nothing from there that I can use for my classes. It is very important to have something that is very reliable to use. If anyone can go in and change things it cannot be safe. Information coming from wikipedia is something I have never used. The reason why is because I just cannot trust it. I will never use wikipedia for any of my classes or personal use.
Dr. Christie's Site and iPods Usage
I really did enjoy Dr. Christie website. It was full of all kinds of exciting things that can be used in a classroom. This website talks about different kinds of technology that can be used in the classroom. This site will be a good educational resource to use. The site breaks everything down and tells you how to use them.
Making a electronic portfolio was one of the things that got my attention. I think that having a portfolio is a really good thing I can have. On your electronic portfolio you can store everything. You can have your power point, website, resume, movies, and etc on the portfolio. This will be a very good resource for me to use as a teacher. It will be really helpful to me as a teacher.
Information on iPods
I Pods can be a very useful tool. It can used to play movies, songs, games, and etc. Having an i Pods can save you all kinds of money by just having this one device. As a teacher you could use it to store all types of information. I can also use the i Pod to hold photos. This is a good tool for people that love to take pictures.
Duke University is doing a very good thing by giving all of their first year students i Pods. Integrating technology into the classroom is very important. As a science teacher it would be a good device for me to use by downloading different images to the i Pod for students can understand. I believe that i Pods in the classrooms should be used by every teacher. This will serve as a useful tool for teachers. To find information about i Pods go to electronics.howstuffworks.com/iPod.htm.
