Summary Post C4T#1 (posts 1 and 2)
In John Spencer's latest blog, "Avoid Social Networking", an HR representative told the staff during a staff meeting that, from now on, they must stay away from social networking with students. This included activities such as: coaching community leagues, speaking outside of school, and the use of online social networking sites. in response to Mr. Spencer's post, i commented and said, "I have had teachers in high school with Facebook accounts, and it has been a big help. It is an easy way to get in touch with them and ask for help when needed. I think social networking sites are a great tool for the classroom."
In Mr. Spencer's blog, "Image", he talks about many different spins on the word "imagination" and states, "We have always been image-based. It's just that the tools change in how we express imagination." I responded by commenting and saying, "Hello, I am also a student in Dr, Strange's EDM 310 class. I agree completely with the statement, "It's just that the tools change in how we express imagination." People today are coming up with new inventions and such all the time, all of which come from people's imaginations. They use different technics and tools to follow through with and express their ideas."

Blog #1
Hi, my name is Brittany Mitchell. I moved down to South Alabama from Trussville, Alabama, where I lived my whole life with my grandparents. After graduating from Hewitt-Trussville High School, I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, which I found too small. After searching for what seemed like forever, I found the perfect school for me. The University of South Alabama, which offers an AMAZING education program.
I chose education because I love being around kids and seeing the excitement on their faces after accomplishing something they though they never would. Children have always been a part of my life through teaching Sunday school classes and teaching swim lessons at the local YMCA. I currently spend most of my afternoons during the week helping a six-year-old with her home-school work load.
I also enjoy interior design. I rearrange my room and re-paint at least twice a year. I love all the different fabrics, colors, and styles.
