I'm learning more about multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about what are the different types of intelligences?. I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because it tells what are the different intelligences and it talks about them. "instead of matching your teaching style to a learning style, match your teaching style to the content. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that teachers should teach in a way that it'll match the content. For example if they are teaching about math they should use the method of logic, also use visualize to teach the kids so they can see it step by step. I think is explaining a lot about multiple intelligences because it tells how teachers should teach students since everyone has a different learning style. It makes me wonder if there is a way that teachers can teach everyone and everyone will be able to understand it with no problem.

"Here he is, the champion, doing what he does best (other than ignoring his English teacher, I'm sure!) Apparently Mr. Omura here has dominated Japan's first pen spinning tournament to become the "sport"'s ringleader. Congratulations to him. I'm sure he has a future ahead of him, spinning not only pens, but also new progressive ideas like pencils or, for the thrill of danger, trying to spin a pen in my English lesson. (Grr!) Edit: His videos are available, and they are amazing. The real question is: Where does one go after dominating the world of pen spinning? What other sports can Ryuki move into? Well, worry not Omuramaniacs, I've done my research. I think an obvious first move would be into a championship for another game that goes on in school a lot. Janken. (Rock Paper Scissors). I had a good laugh looking at the advanced techniques of the World RPS Society website: Here he is, the champion, doing what he does best (other than ignoring his English teacher, I'm sure!)

wow he is very good and how can you be so good with pens.

"Teachers trying to get students interested in molecular biology or space now have a new tool -- video games. As more children grow up playing video games, educators are partnering with game developers and scientists to create new interactive experiences for the classroom."

I'm learning about multiple intelligences right now, in particular what I'm wondering about is: Have there been further studies on the subject? I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because the title was blunt, there's no masking the point behind the article. "Last month, however, a group of cognitive scientists released a study concluding that the practice of shaping instruction around learning styles has no demonstrable effect on the individual student's grasp of classroom material." The quote I chose here is basically saying that scientists have disproved the multiple intelligences theory. There is no relation between the way a teacher teaches and how well a student gets the information. I think this is disheartening because I thought it was true, I still hope it is. It makes me wonder if the students I mentioned will have chances to live up to their potential.

I just finish listening to this podcast from NPR and it was interesting. It was basically saying that sometimes people can dream about work. They can dream about their life at work. Martin said "Which is usually what I think when I wake from my dreams. If we're going be spending half of our day of work and two-thirds of the remaining day asleep, it would be nice to think dreaming about work would actually do us some good." I guess people do dream about life at work because people usually spend most of their day at work. I consider my work as a student. Its not really work because I dont get paid for what I do at school but I consider it a job for me because I do a lot of classwork, homework, projects and many more. What Im trying to say is that people dream about what happen recently to them. And for me, what happens recently at my day is school. I do remember dreaming many times about school. I dream about the test im going to have the next day, I dream about the homework I just did and if i did a good job on it. I also dream about my friends and teachers at my school. I like this NPR I just listened to.

This is a pretty cool article. I wonder what my version -- and my co-teachers versions of this article would be.

I'm learning more about medical marijuana and in particular what i'm wondering is "why is medical marijuana illegal".I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because my teacher pointed it out to me.\n"The council's move against the pot shops comes following threats by the district attorney, who claimed "about 100%" of medical marijuana dispensaries are operating illegally by selling the drug to patients over the counter in a storefront setting."

"Have students research a time period or a specific topic and have them identify a notable African American they believe deserves more credit or attention. USe the online resources listed below and others for useful information."

I'm learning more about Food Security right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: Is this a problem of politics or science? In other words can we right now "Young people have the advantage of having grown up in a globally connected world, within which we communicate more quickly and broadly than perhaps any other generation before us. Whilst young people may not yet have the power to drive policies, we will be the ones who must accept the big challenges of the future which are as yet unresolved: from population growth to climate change to market reform and the end of poverty."

"I am now in my twenties and my grandmother is still out there on her plot each day." This woman must be at least in her sixties, still doing this exhausting work.

I'm learning more about food security in Africa right now, and in particular what im wondering about is Why is food security such a big thing in Africa. i was researching this question online and this news article caught my attention because Mr.Allison myi english teacher pointed it out to me.\n\n"She continues to till her field with a hand hoe, using seed saved from previous harvests, and applying a teaspoonful of fertiliser per maize plant. Her working hours and type of inputs have remained the same over the years; however, the yields have been declining drastically."\n\nThe quote i chose here is basically saying that the girl who is mentioned in the quote works hard to plant her crops and take care of the crops to. Food security is important because she wants to be able to feed her family.\n\ni think this is interesting because It makes me wonder about how food security is in other places outside the United States.

Something that I have been interested in learning about had been Health. I remember my teacher talking about it I was in Elementary school, but she didn't really explain it clearly. Lately , the issue had caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that health is really not important. From what I have heard health is very important no matter what. Now that's just what I have heard, it may or may not be true. I like where it says:That changed in 2006 when he started CookieDiet.com. This year he began selling his cookies at Walgreens and GNC, and opened his first Cookie Diet store in Beverly Hills, Calif. He expects 2009 revenues to be $18 million, up from $12 million in 2008, thanks in part to endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson. In fact, the cookie diet business has proved so lucrative that other companies have popped up: Smart for Life (six 105-calorie cookies a day; a 35-day kit costs $279); the Hollywood Cookie Diet (one 150-calorie cookie three to four times a day, plus a light dinner; $14 to $20 a box); and Soypal Cookies, marketed as "the most popular diet in Japan" (about 22 calories each; $49 a box). The popularity of cookie diets is hardly surprising in this culture of quick fixes. Who wouldn't want to exert the minimal effort to get long-lasting results? Who wouldn't want to lose weight by consuming something verboten on most diets? "The Cookie Diet is very appealing, because it legalizes a food - the cookie - that is banned from most weight-loss programs," said Jenni Schaefer, author of "Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover From Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life" (McGraw-Hill, 2009).

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been about Environment. I remember my Math Teacher talking about it during his math class, but I didn't have a good explanation on what he really meant. Lately, the issue had caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that why is the environment important to the world and us? From what I have heard many scientist say that we need to have the environment clean. For example I hread that if we dont keep the environment clean we are destryoing ourselves. Now that's what I have heard, it may or may not be true. On thing that I know for sure about Environment is that it's what we live in and we need to make the best of it. Now I've studied my share of Biology and I believe that the Environment is caused by the smokes and other stuff that damages the world. Personally that's what I know and it may sound kind of funny but hey that's what ever one says. The most important about this topic is that Environment is what it keeps us on this world. An important quote that I believe that is given alot of information is where it says: Be the change you want to see in the world, said former UCL student Mahatma Gandhi - and staff at the UCL Environment Institute are acting on his advice.Staff calculated the carbon footprint of their work-related travel as part of an ongoing attempt to reduce the institute's impact on the environment.The study was based on the movements of a total of 12 staff and three PhD students during the 2007/08 academic year.The staff based their calculations on guidelines from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).They used the guidelines to calculate precisely how much carbon was emitted in the course of their work-related travel. According to the article :: The total carbon dioxide emissions for staff in 2007/08 amounted to 29.64 tonnes as a result of 231,700 kilometres of travel - an average of 2.5 tonnes per person. Of the total

An awesome journalism teacher. Her classes have 60 students!!

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been danger flowers. I remember my Science teacher in third grade talking about it I was very young, but I didn't really understand it because I was very young. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that some flowers are very danger. From what I have heard, this is true. Some flowers are very danger and can harm you. For example, I heard that there is this specific flowers that can kill you if you touch it or eat it. Now that's just what I've heard, it may or may not be true. One thing that I know for sure is that some flowers are healthy and others are bad. Now I've studied my share of Environmental Science, and I believe that it's something that people should know just in case you don't know that some flowers are danger. Personally, it's funny to me how flowers that are mainly red are the ones who are poisen. This was immportant in the past because, back then there was many people dieing for strange reasons due to poisen flowers. What I know about this topic is that you should be very careful with kids because kids are the ones that usually pick flowers and sometimes end up eating it. The flower is the reproductive structure of angiosperms or flowering plants. Compared to the reproductive structures of other plants, the flower is unique in several ways. It consists of four kinds of modified leaves, two of which (stamens and carpels, the latter sometimes called pistils) bear pollen and seeds. According to the fossil record, flowering plants appeared only about 140 million years ago, although some recently found fossil evidence suggests that they appeared 80 million years before that. Being that I didn't have a lot of background information on danger flowers, I chose to do some research on the topic. As I searched for blogs and news articles on Google, I came across this one article: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/. This article provided a lot of info

What i noticed most about, "Diversions" was the way the game used to be back in the 50's and 60's when it came to the shoes they wore. This really stood out to me because the stars of the 50's and 60's wore flat little sandle like shoes with a little piece of rubber underneath for about 10-15 years, until sneakers were made. "Basketball was invented in 1891, by Dr. James Naismith. A physical education teacher at the YMCA in Springfield Massachusetts. More than a decade past before any sporting goods companies started to market shoes specifically made for the new game."

Interesting game. Reminds me of the Sims or Civilization; games of such nature. Will probably play again later. Strategy is key!!!

this is the game, i dont know how it works, but w/e
