Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

I am very glad I was assigned to watch the Last Lecture. It has inspired me to not take my life for granted. Randy Puasch has some very inspiring quotes and he has accomplished some very exciting life goals. =)

Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.- Randy Pausch

this quote is soo true and inspiring. It always makes you feel better to bring something when people are eating a dinner, because you feel like you have helped out in a way. Instead of feeling like you dont deserve to eat because you didnt bring anything.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand- Randy Pausch

In life we may have lost a parent, divorced parents or some may even be orphans. We cannot change what comes our way or who we will meet, but the person you are will come out through the way that you live your life and we have the responsibility of living our life no matter what is thrown our way! =)


I have a theory that people who come from large families are better people because they’ve just had to learn to get along. - Randy Pausch

I know this first hand and i agree with Mr. Pausch. Larger Families have to get along because there is more kis than usual around all the time. If you dont get along it would probably be a LOUD crazy house!!! They also learn how to share alot easier than a family with one child.

My Presentation

Comment for Kids week 3

I Commented on Brandons story, it was titled "2nd day to Long Island" He told me about his trip to a water park. It is a very exciting story! He made the story very descriptive. I felt as if i was riding down the slides with him. Also he went through terrible storms that day. He made it seem very realistic!

Practice Post

This is a demonstration

Is it okay to be a technologically Illiterate Teacher?

to answer the question, i think it is okay to an extent..... For example my mother has no CLUE how to do anytihng online....such as check grades =) that was a plus for me at one time! but that really isnt such a good thing for her! i think everyone should at least grasp the concept of all this new technology. However Teachers.... There is alot of great information on the web and also new technology tools, such as smart boards that are very helpful! i Do think teachers should be in touch with the new technology!

It's not about the technology

She expresses a good point when stating her first point being: Teachers must be learners. Because everyone of us students are going to learn so many things and different ways through our own experiences. Also i agree that not all students will be fast learners and may not get the concepts, but we must never give up.... always have that GOAL! =)

A Vision of Students Today

This movie was very interesting, and entertaining! Its really neat how this movie did capture some of my college experience. Its a true document of college Life! facebook during class, and more email pages used then class assignment pages. That laptop must have been really expensive, because the video states that someone in the US makes less in a Year then what the laptop is worth! Thats insane!! I really enjoyed how the sentences were all spread out on different things! That made this video entertaining!
To Add to this Video, i would maybe go into different classrooms as well. AND Also maybe getting the teachers to actually hold a few signs.To See what their Views and Opinions are on things!

What I have learned...

After Watching/listening to these presentations....I have learned to speak more clear throughout my presentation. AND to also Speak Loud!!! I have a feeling there is alot to these podcast....so taking your time and being prepared is vital. You dont want to rush on these things. Plan out what you may say! Be creative With sounds. I think that is really neat how you can involve other things such a music to make it more exciting. =) I can use my podcast to give important informati0n out as well!

Last years podcast

I was impressed! There were not many things that I saw, that I could improve. So that makes this a more difficult assignment to blog on. But Maybe more eye contact, if that is even allowed. Im not sure, they could have been prompted to look a certain way.
Also Possibly talking a little more louder and clearer. You never know who will be listening, and they may need you to talk very clear. Especially since it is being recorded, its not always that clear.
