Game based learning is one of the best ways for kids to learn.  It allows kids to learn in a different way than just listening to someone talk.  It is a hands on way to learn also.  It helps keep kids interested and gives them something to look forward to.  Also, it helps them with their communication skills.  Kids learn more when what they are doing has goals.  Most all kids are competitive and want to win.  It always makes kids work harder if there is a winner.  Kids also like to work in groups than by themselves.  if they work in groups that means they must communicate and that makes their communication skills better.  Game based learning is going to be the way teachers teach in the future.  Speed is going to help a lot because it will allow students to work quicker.  They will not have to wait around for the game based learning tool to load.  Kids like when stuff moves fast which is going to make them want to work even more.

chapter 5

One of the big things about chapter five is that teacher need to interact with their students.  This is called collaboration which is one of the 8 norms.  This helps the students out more because most students like interacting to learn.  The students also need to work together to learn.  I think working together with other people is also a lot better because they may have a different view of things than you do. 

Eight norms

1) freedom; 2) customization; 3) scrutiny; 4) integrity; 5) collaboration; 6) entertainment; 7) speed; and 8) innovation.

Freedom- it is nice because you get to choose what you want to work on or work with
Customization- it is cool to be able to customize your stuff to your need
Scrutiny- you are able to search for things
Integrity- citizenship that you show
Collaboration- you can work together with other people
Entertainment- it is a fun way you can use this
Speed- it is really fast and almost happens instantly
Innovation- are always looking for new stuff

Using Wiki to Communicate

Being able to communicate is a big part of our world today.  Wiki is a great way to post information and have people tell you what they think about it.  You should post important stuff and stuff that you need help with.  Also a nice part about wiki is that you can join groups that are important to you and get a lot more information about them.  When you are in a group you can post thing that you feel would be important to the people in that group.  This helps you  to communicate with people in your group through information instead of just words.  Another way you can communicate is though commenting.  When you see information you like, dislike, or relate to you can comment on it.  You can comment on it by giving constructive criticism, commenting on the information, or complimenting the persons writing and/or information.  Another simple way you can communicate is through email in your wiki's. This can include information in general or personal conversations because it's your own personal email.  Through wiki you can communicate in many different ways and outlets.

Accepting criticism of your wiki posts and netiquette involved with criticism/comments

When you have a wiki people can comment on your posts.  This is a good and bad thing to some people.  If you would happen to post something that is wrong and does not make since to some people they can post out there and let you know.  I would like if someone did that to me to help me out and make my wiki better.  Some people would not like that because they think that whatever they say is right and make take offense to it.  The only thing I would not like is if people would say something bad about everything.  I think that would get annoying and old.  When you take criticism you need to be nice when people give it to you if you like it or not.  If you are giving criticism i also think it is important to give it with respect to.  You should not give criticism about everything because that would not be very nice.  If someone does give criticism I think that you should think about what they are saying because it could be very useful.  Some of the criticism you will be getting will not make any since so you should still read it but you do not have to worry about it.  That is what I think about criticism on you wiki posts.

The Importance of Meeting Deadlines in Business and Education

In the business and education world meeting deadlines is an important thing.  If you boss or teacher tells you that your homework or presentation needs to be done by a certain date then you need to get it done by the date they gave you.  It makes life easier on you and easier on your boss or teacher.  In the education world it is a big deal because it is your grade that will suffer if  you do not get your stuff done on time.  When you get to college it is a big deal to do your homework or projects on time because the professors do not care what you do they will give you a bad grade if you do not do them on time.  In the business world if you do not do you stuff on time you could possibly loss your job and get fired then you will have to find another job.  If you get fired from one job from not meeting your deadlines it will make it very difficult to find another job because making a deadline is a very important part of every job.  That is why being on time in the business and education world is so important.

Digital communication tools

I think that using You Tube would be one of the best ways to present my digital communication tools. It is an easy way to present it because you just have to hit play and it goes by it's self. You Tube is a good way to because there is a video that you can watch instead of just having to listen to someone talk. There are many other ways that you could present your digital communication tools but I personally think that this is one of te best ways to present it.

Diigo

Diigo can be used in many different ways. Students of all ages can use this tool with school work. They can use it when they get on the Internet to bookmark, highlight things, or do many other things. I have personally never used diigo but I am definitely going go try it. It is a good tool to used when you are working on the internet. People in the business world use it to, when they find a web site or something so they can get back to that sight easier. If u have never used diigo you should try it out and see how it works.

Digital Communication

Digital Communication is used in many different ways.  People use it for jobs, homework, and just to have fun.  It is a quicker way to find things then it is looking it up in a book or something.  You can speak with people over the internet and have meetings over the internet to.  Playing games can also be fun if you are bored or just if you want to.
