The High Cost of College

1. How do I plan to pay for college?
    a) I plan to try and get as many Scholarships and get student loans to pay for my college Tuition.

According to Barack Obama he is saying that colleges need to start clarifying what their students are paying for. Why the tuition is going up and if its going to go up then the reasons need to be good. The colleges need to provide what their statistics are for their graduates getting jobs right out of school so that they know they are going to be successful and not become scum of the Earth that feeds of of welfare from the government.

Creativity Counts

1. What is Creativity?
        
The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.

2. Why does Creativity matter in Education?


Some students can't learn in the old way of taking notes straight off the board, they need new ways to learn. Students need to be creative and need to be encouraged to continue to be creative. If people weren't creative then everyone were be the same there would be no diversity in ideas.


3. Describe ways you see creativity in your classrooms.

Digital Learning Day

My choice of a web 2.0 tool for the classroom would be Edmodo. Edmodo is the total classroom solution and its even free, with this teachers can basically create a classroom on the internet. Teachers can post notes, assignments, quizzes, and even grade them once they are submitted.

Each student has a, what I like to call a desk which is known as their "Digital Library" were the students can upload what they need for their assignments and the teacher can even put things into it for the students convenience.

This tool is sort of like Facebook it is known as the "The Secure Social Learning Network for Teachers and Students".
