I did my survey on texting and driving. The answers I got were shocking in some cases.
Out of everyone that took my survey, nobody has ever had an accident while texting or while talking and driving. That is great, it just surprised me. 53% of the students think it should be illegal to text while driving. If it was illegal to text while driving, 76% of students think the punishment should be a ticket.
This is some interesting facts. I learned that although most people 29%text and drive more than 10 times per day, 82% of students feel unsafe while riding with someone who is texting and driving. Ironic? I think so. I guess people feel safer if they are the ones driving and texting.
I learned a lot of information creating my survey and getting the analysis for the responses. This is definitely something I will continue to do in the future. I would always like to teach my own children how to utilize surveys. Maybe they can use it for projects and such with their own school work.

Summary Post C4T Teacher #3
david warlick 2 worth
My #3 teacher was David Warlick. He spoke about students receiving a comic book education in an encyclopedia world. He spoke about education is about the information being taught. I think the way technology is booming and will continue to do so, it is hard to teach without mentioning these things. There will come a time in the near future that students will have to be technology literate before they graduate. The world around us is changing and therefore; teachers must adapt to the change.

PLN Project #10
Blog Post #11
Ms. Cassidy is doing a wonderful job with her students. It is amazing the things they can do. I would like to at least try to utilize everything Ms. Cassidy uses. It is nothing short of amazing watching these children learn. The students look like they are having so much fun and they are learning in the process. I realize that using all this new technology could be challenging. The students will have to be taught how to properly use everything. There will be some that are already familar with skype and other programs but some children will not have a clue what I am talking about. I am excited about bring my new knowledge not only in my classroom but in my school.

#7 Lessons Learned Mr. McClung's class blog is great. He is an 8th grade teacher at Woodland Jr. High located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He teaches social studies, Arkansas History, computer applications, and coaches cross country. I commented on his Beat Ramay Week blog. During Beat Ramay week, two community rival teams get ready to face off with each other. They whole town is devided. The students get to dress up and show sprit for their school. I believe this type of thing shows the students that they can learn and still have fun.
