C4T Periment

For the blog I chose John Spencer, edrethink, John gives very in-depth post that cause his bloggers to think about the message.

For his first post John talked about how important are theories. Theories are the lay out for any idea. John believes that everyone should appreciate the theories. You would want any person who is great at their jobs to understand the fundamental concepts and theories behind those facts of information.

Comment #1

I agree that theory is important. Especially as a biology major, some of our scientific studies are based on theories. I believe research is important because it teaches students that you can not always find a direct answer to everything. Sometimes hard work and research must go into finding an answer.

John Spencer wrote a brief blog post on writing. He was so deep into his characters until he allowed the plot to develop on his characters terms. He was torn between using the plot he already came up with or allowing his creative flow to take control and develop a new story line.

Comment #2

I strongly believe that everyone should get lost within their writing. I believe writing as a therapy session for me regardless of the topic. The only downside of getting lost into your imagination, you must realize it it not "real". I would encourage anyone to get lost in their writing.

John Spencer talked about the owner of the Clippers and his racist comments and the little effort the players to only do a silent protest. He also talked about how people are going around and protest the Discovery Ed. Network because of the show Bad Teacher. He also talked about how people targeted him and questioned his actions. John’s overall message was to say to never blame the little person because of other people choices.

Choice #3

You should never blame the players for the owner’s mistakes. You should never blame a teacher for the State educational requirements. You should never protest an entire network, especially one that is important in education, for just one t.v.show. People need to think before they say things.
