Veterans Day
Veterans Day:
Today I conducted research on Veterans Day, my goal was to learn about the history and the purpose of Veterans Day.
Veterans Day started in 1919 when President Wilson called it, "Armistice Day". The purpose of this holiday was show graditude and appreciation to those who have served in the armed forces for the United States.

Snow Covered Sidewalks Could Cost GR Homeowners Big Bucks
Snow Covered Sidewalks Could Cost GR Homeowners Big Bucks- as reported by WZZM 13 News
Summary:
GR residents have not been shoveling their sidewalks in front of their houses, causing lots of problems for walkers and runners. The adminstrators in the GR area are very frustrated with the situation. From now on, they will be putting notices up at people's residence and warning them to shovel the sidewalk in front of their houses. If the residents do not respond and shovel within 2 days, they will be fined a minimum of $195.
Opinion:
I believe that it is the responsbility of the homeowners to shovel the sidewalk in front of their driveway. I think that if they do not follow this simple rule then there will be a lot of issues for children and runners, it is not fair for them.

How to Write a Good Introduction
Writing a good introduction is very important for any story. The first thing to think about when you are starting out a story is how to start it. Making your introduction interesting is the most important thing. A boring introduction will bore people and they will not want to read the rest of your story.
An example of a good introduction is:

Final Reflection- Ed. 6713
Throughout this course I have learned much about teaching and about what is best for my students to prepare them for the 21st century.
I am so excited about how far I have come on my own GAME plan and even more excited about how I can incorporate what I have learned into my classroom this coming fall.
My original GAME plan goals were: 1. Engage students in exploring and solving real- world problems, 2. customize personal learning experiences for diverse learners.
Throughout this entire course I have worked very hard to reach these goals and complete my GAME plan, throughout my journey I have blogged and reflected upon my week-to-week progress, and looking back I have tracked myself quite well.
I believe that I have achieved both of my goals and will definetly put them into pracitce next year. After completing week 7 of the course I have learned how to complete a integrated thematic plan while incorporating technology tools that apply directly to my two goals.
During my unit I incorporated student research and opportunity for students to work with one another to collaborate their own town and culture, which relates directly to my first goal of helping students solve real world problems. In addition during my thematic unit I also gave students opportunities to learn and explore in various ways which reached all of gardener multiples intelligence. For instance, students who do best at kinsectic learning they were able to create digital stories and learn more about the Mayan culture.
I am especially excited about having my students create their own GAME plan next year to reach their own personal and academic goals, I have learned that using a GAME plan can effectively encourage students to become better students and more self confident in themselves, helping to prepare them for the 21st century skills.
I believe it was a very powerful experience, taking this course and learning about GAME plans and all the possibilities that technology gives students today. Zac Chase describes how his students were able to complete a online collaboration and take learning into their hands, solving problems and being leaders in their own learning experience, that is what type of teacher I asprire to be .... one who facilitates these types of oppotunities for my students.
