The final project

I have seen all the sample instructional packages and it seem pretty simple but when it come to my turn to write up one it seems to take forever. As a teacher, I know this is an important part of my job is to be able to write instructional stuff that will make students learn and enjoy.
My group have already made a rough draft and hope to have it checked for correction and additions.

final project

Our final project talks about Keeping Pohnpei, along with 4 sub-titles. We are planning to have 4 sessions according to the 4 sub-titles under Keeping Pohnpei. So far, our target audience are 6, 7, and 8 graders.

Education

Education has a variety of meanings. Education can mean knowledge and skills, fluent speakers in English, modernize styles and people ways of life and so on. But Education to me means Employment because it is how people can viewed someone by the way of life as an individual. But still education still has different meaning depending on how someone believe.

Useful Information

I have learned several useful information from edtech so far, and hope to gain more... Using technology in the classroom truly engaged, and increases students learning. As a RESOURCE TEACHER, helping children with special needs, my professionality have much confident to teaching them by useful information I gained from this course so far.

Teaching: Big Heart

Hi everyone,

Supporting Mr. Samuel, I believe that filling with that big heart with motivation in teaching will naturally lead your knowledge to creativity will surely explain Mr. Samuls point.

Profession

Working with children with special need is my profession / job. Making a difference with these children is not easy but just knowing that I am very much enjoy helping these children toward their needs so they can be learning with the regular children at their age groups is rewarding for me.

The Beauty of Pohnpei

Let me tell you about the Island of Pohnpei:

• First people of the island is hospitable and respective
• Beautiful site on this island; magnificent waterfalls, historical places like Nanmadol Ruin, high green mountains for hiking, pure and clean rivers for swimming, sea water is fun for scuba diving, biggest wave for surfing, you can experience both sunny and rainy days.
• Culture and traditions is easy to learn
• magnificent picnic places on by motor boat and automobile.
• if you want to try our Sakau/ Kava we have lot of places to drink sakau.
• soooo come and visit our island and experience new life style

Teaching: Big Heart

I learned one important lesson about teaching last month. Being a good and effective teacher is not how well educated and experienced you are but how big your heart is. Having a big heart counts more than a big education. In Pohnpeian "kaidehn sukuhl laud me kesempwal ahpw mohngiong laud."

Marine Resources

Our final project is about Marine Resources.The importance of our marine resources and how we can conserve, preserve, and put to better use of our resources. Meaning maintaining our resources in ways that will better serve our economy and well being. The success of our project is that we have better understanding of marine resources, and we have abundant information since we are surround by ocean. The challenge is making the students understand the true significance of our marine resources. Some people and communities tend to be oblivious to what is obivious thinking that it does not concern them. But we will try our best to get the message through, even if it means sacrificing some of our valuable time.

Final Project

The final project has many parts and some of the part I did not understand. Need help on nutrition to be taught in middle grade. If any please post.

Final Project

Our final project is very big project. What are the components that are to be included? Can you provide more examples? Should we include copies of student worksheets? How can we incorporate a field trip activity if needed? Is it also practical to invite a guest speaker or consultant on the subject matter of the project? How long should each component be?

Please get back to us asap.
thanx


P/s: On presenting our final project, are we expected to highlight parts of the project or conduct the entire 4 hour project?

The Importance of preserving ones own culture

By preserving a culture, one keeps the traditions, family values, sociological standards and mores, and language. One keeps their personal identity intact.

By not preserving a culture, it all goes away and people cease to have their family background intact. No one knows what the family meant, what the traditions are and where the family came from. Nor could they appreciate the family history and struggles made.

Pollution (cause and effect)

Our Topic for our final project is Pollution. We decided to educate our students about this issue since it is a major problem nowadays which will effect our children of today and tomorrow. Awaring the community will help promote healthier enviroment for our children of tomorrow.

How can I make a Difference

Well, I strongly believe that after learning these skills on using or intergrating the curriculum by Blogs, I will encourage our leaders of the DOE department to let or allow their schools in to using technology in their classrooms to promote learning for both teachers, parents and students. This will allows everyone to benefit from technology as well.

Hi and bye,

Since we are having network problem, we might work together and convince our teacher for exeptional on submission date.

Limited time

My time is limted and somehow won't be able to contribute to blog sometimes. Classes and work might be tight up and hopefully less work later.

Learning technology

Hi to you all,

Learning technology is one important thing in our lifes because it is something that we deal with in our school curriculum. It is also a tool that is used across content areas in our daily lifes. It is how we manage our students to learn activities in technology to enhance their living environment.

Being a teacher is a challenge. But the efforts that we put in our work and to see the results in our students is the greatest reward. I believe that we are making a diffrence proffesionally because we are preparing our future generation.

Pohnpei

On my island, this is one of the rainiest place on Earth. So, if you like rain come and visit the rainiest island on Earth that is "Pohnpei". Life on Pohnpei is peaceful and everyone is friendly.

Pohnpei

A peaceful, energitic, and wonderous place to spend your vacation. You can view endless waterfalls, rivers, and many respectful places made by our ancestors, which you can learn more about Pohnpeian culture.

Pohnpei literary means on the altar and it is believe a place for sacrifices because of it name. It has the most spectacular fishing spot and attracted places for tourists because the places can answer your guess for people of long age and they survived. There are places made up of huge stones that you will never imagine how they were made referred to lives long age. The land is so beautiful. Many waterfalls and rivers, the best place to celebrate your holidays because they have beautiful views. The land was surrounding by the road, people can travel around the island for less than one day by car. Pohnpei is also the best place to visit especially when you want to learn new culture because the people are friendly and kindly. You can learn easily and quickly through the interactions between people.

For me to make a difference here in Pohnpei Professionally, I would choose a career that monitors, perserves, and the same time sell our marine resources. The lands of FSM can't be seen on a map, but the size of our EEZ is about the size of the United States. Hundreds of ships sail through the pacific taking millions worth of our resources and we take only a small percentage. This is because we don't have the resources to monitor and police our resources. We also don't have the resources to fish and collect our marine resources for bigger profit. Personally I want to make people aware of this problem, to change their attitude toward our marine resources. If the Compact ended, the only resource that can sustain our economy is the marine resource. But this is just me, the vid is to experiment on this site...you might like it.

Hello everyone, I know that this is my first post and that some of you might not know me. I am a special ed teacher here in Pohnpei, although i am not that special. I have been working as a teacher for 5 to 6 years. Computer courses are one of my favorite subjects other than marine, so typing this aimless stream of thoughts onto this computer is very fun even though i don't have much to say. Here is a picture of me and a friend of mine. I wish you the best and i'll make sure you hear from me more.

See ya' later

Final Project

Greetings from Pohnpei. Our team project is mainly on the causes and preventions of pollution. We believe that this topic will also improve awareness on minimizing littering to improving recycling. We will surely share this project to the schools and other agencies and in the communities.

What I learned

First of all, I wanted to thank you for all the new strategies of learning to use the new techonologies on using bloggs. I learned a lot and it is been great learning from you. I am still hoping to learn more as we continue on this class.

Final project proposal

Greetings from the island of Pohnpei. Our team have decided to work on a topic concerning the preservation of our culture. We think that this is something important to us and any other student of Micronesia. Some people used to say, "You have to know your own culture before you can appreciate other cultures". How can you understand other languages if you don't know your own. Our ancestors knew what the society needed in order to preserve it so they have came up with traditions that have prevailed. I hope that this might make some sense to some of you. I would love to hear your comments on this subject.

Updates

Greetings!Your visit to Pohnpei was very appreicated, because we've learned a lot from all the lessons you presented to us during your visit.I hope that everyone in the group should implement the lessons in their schools. For you information, we have assigned the tasks among ourselves. Each member in the group will work on each assigned or given task for the whole project.

Changing from Pohnpei Met

Greeting from Pohnpei, I am concern about the change made to our Blog. name or Address or whatever you may call it. This is to remind all bloggers that we need to be positive however I need to know the intentions of this and would like to ask all of you to remember that we are all human beings that can be hurt at any time so please let us know ASAP. Who has the rights to make the changes. As far as I know bloggers can always edit if there were mistakes and I don't think we had any mistakes. POHNPEI MET. which means THIS IS POHNPEI.

Thank you

Are you having trouble getting on the blog?

Welcome on board the few of you--who appeared as contributors. What is going on with the rest of you? I indeed sent an invitation. If you have not received a gmail from me (the invitation email), please email me soon at belleminjuan. Thank you!

Greetings to all! The correct name for the blog should be "Pohnpei Met". We think we know our own spelling.

We enjoyed your visit very much and look forward to comming weeks.

Learned

I really learned a lot during your visit to our island. Google Earth, Google Doc, Blogging, and Wikipedia are wonderful tools that all educators should be aware of. Even though access to the internet is limited there are some technological developments and I believe it will get better as we move forward.

thank you,
