The Tempered Radical

 I just finished reading the blog from the Temper Radical. This blog was very interesting and showed many people and educators around the world how to use the internet as a teaching option and a resource to communicate with out Educators around the world. This web page (blog) also gave each person an insight on how to change technology in the schools. I personally feel that everyone should be taught at a young age how to use a computer. Learning how to work the computer at a young age will help students learn new and interesting things. Honestly, I wish I would have learned much more about how to work the internet and the basics of a computer earlier in life I feel that it would have increased my learning ability and others around me.


Another thing that I truly enjoyed about "The tempered Radical" is how they truly stand up for teachers around the world. They seek the truth and not numbers or false information. I believe that the way "Tempered Radical" approaches their articles is interesting. By interesting I mean that it keeps you wanting to read more and find out what is going to come next. I feel that they teach you so many different things. They teach you about technology; not only do they teach you about technology they also show you how to use the technology and how it can be used in the classroom. I feel that this blog has it figured out! I feel that the blog has a lot of great insights and interesting things to discuss.


When returning to the sight "The Tempered Radical" the most recent post was about technology around the world and how changes can be made to increase the connection to those people around the world. It also showed how having technology made a huge difference in the lives of those that where lucky enough to have access to technology. Bill Makes a great point about the great need for technology. He pointed out great men and women that made a difference and saved their lives and their family by using technology. I feel that everyone needs to get more advanced with technology. I believe that with technology it will make life easier with other people around the world! I find it amazing that through a simple push of a button that we can reach across the world. I only hope that the schools will obtain the knowledge to teach and learn the technology that is rising daily around our world. I feel that the United States is so far behind other parts of the world. i enjoy reading Bill's blog because it gives me an insight on the world around me and the information that shows the significance of learning about the internet and the computer.
I just hope that we can teach our future students the importance of technology. I also hope that in teaching them the importance that they will take advantage of the rising world and make a difference to their community and the world. I hope that students can use technology for the good and not just for games and networking.

Welcome To Crystal's Blog!!

Hello everyone my name is Crystal Baxter. I have attended the University of South Alabama for three years and I will graduate in December 2012. My major is Elementary Education. Some may ask why a teacher, but for me it is not all about the money! It is all about making a difference to the next generation. I truly love working with children. I was inspired at a young age to become a teacher. Teachers are given so little credit for all the work they do.
    Here are some simple facts about me! I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. My birthday is in July and I am 21! I feel that I am a family orientated person. I enjoy spending time with the ones I love. I have two AMAZING parents and a older sister and a younger brother. I also have a niece that is six and she is adorable and just entered the 1st grade. Another important person in m life is my boyfriend Wayne! We have been together for a short but amazing 6 months. Me and Wayne are planning on getting married in the future and raising a family. I also enjoy attending church and love ALABAMA football. My hobbies include watching NCIS, going to school, hanging out with family and friends, and working. I work at Remington College as the Receptionist. I have been working there for almost 2 years, the people are great.
 I hope you enjoy getting to know me! GO FUTURE TEACHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
