The sarcasm was a bit much for me and made some of the post difficult to understand. I also wrote in my blog that I was confused especially about most of Mr. Spencer's post. The multiple use of metaphors and heavy sarcasm made it difficult to interpret what his views really were about technology in the classroom. I feel like you did the best you could. At least you completed the assignment, even if you weren't totally clear on what was said. I think comments from other students and our professor can help to clear up any questions we have on any of our blog post.

I also did the second part of the assignment and linked another one of his post to my blog. And I also did the third part of the assignment. I may have misinterpreted the messages but I did do the assignment. The only thing I forgot to do was send out the tweets, which was an honest mistake that has been corrected. So am I not getting credit for this blog post?

Papermate is a metaphor for a PV. Ticonderoga is a metaphor for a Mac. The cartoon characters resemble the stars of the long series (66 over 4 years) of <a href="http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/apples-get-mac-complete-campaign-130552" rel="nofollow">Apple ads starring John Hodgman as PC and Justin Long as Mac</a>. <br /><br />2. The second part of the assignment was to read the post <a href="http://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-were-your-kids-playing-games.html" rel="nofollow">Why Were Your Kids Playing Games? </a>, read at least one other post, create a link to in on your post, write a quality post about the two posts you read.<br /><br />3. The third part of the assignment was to read the post and some comments by previous students and then to discuss your position on the arguments made by Dr. McLeod.<br /><br />In addition you were to send Tweets to Mr. Spencer and Dr. McLeod.<br /><br />You missed the metaphor in the cartoon.<br /><br />You missed the message Mr. Spencer was sending via the cartoon.<br /><br />You correctly identified the message of Mr. Spencer's post in which the principal wants him to practice "drill and memorize" activities instead of projects or other learning approaches. All to pass the tests.<br /><br />You missed the satire of Mr. McLeod.<br /><br />You missed the message of Mr. McLeod which is that you can try to keep your kids away from technology which is fine with me. Mine will use it and speed past your kids in skills, abilities and rewards.<br /><br /><br /><br />John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
