On Maui and other things

2008-07-10T22:46:00.000-07:00

Well its been about a month since my last blog. in late in june it was my friend, branon's birthday we went to Cafe 1020 and most of every one was there. It was very fun. I thing he was very drunk after his party!!!
Another thing is that at work I was getting more and more kuzy; droping water on the floor, triping on BNC cables and other thigs.(also i had summer school as well.) I figuged out that i needed a vacation to recooporate my mind and soul. So i planed a week vacation on Maui on the 3rd of July. I want to celibrate teh 4th of July with my friends and i got burnt a lot of times playing with all the fireworks that we had. The next day i woke up at 3 am to Haleakala sumit to see the sun rise. I think it was about 40 degrees F with windchill up there and i was only waring T-shrit and shorts, while my friends were bundled up with jackets and parkas. On the same day i went to Blackrock beach in Kaanapali (near Lahania). The trip from the summit to Kaanapai it about over 50 miles. took about 2 or three hours to get. That day made my very tired. The rest of the days i went ot the beach 2 other times and just relaxed and did nothing. But last night i went to a resturant turned night club in Paia and danced the night away. with funk and contemporatre musics. Tomorow i leave to Oahu tommorow. going to miss Maui:

This is my friend Susan and me at haleakala. Notice the differnt cothing

2008-06-17T23:00:00.000-07:00

well today i went to a job interview. This is for the Interchanger program here at UH. I you are not familiar with the program, it basically seek to foreign students (usaly from Japan) in english. The reason why i taking this job is because i need so experience becoming a English teacher to i can go to the JET program. This program is becoming a assistant English teacher in Japan and the Japanese government gives you a stipend and free housing, and airfair. I want to go to Japan for about a year after I graduate and before i enter the work force. We will see what happens next.

Olelo/DOE teleschool Branch

2008-06-05T23:09:00.000-07:00

Today at work i was invited to take a tour of Olelo Mapunapuna branch (Community TV). This place was awesome i saw sets, editing bays, control rooms and a whole lot more. One thing that i was interested in is that they have I think they call it a "featherweight' system. This is a portable audio board and video switcher and waveform monitor. I could use this to teach my students to make documentary or something like that. I feel very inspired to make a my own program one Olelo: to edit, produce, and other things that are for TV programing.
After that tour. The DOE Teleschool Branch which was upstairs in the Oleo building. this talk about all the DOE programing that they have. I found that they Master Control Center was more Hi tech than were i work in UH. This information will make a better understanding and a sense of purpose for my job at UH

I was going though the vast internet and i found a site that will indeed help me in the teaching world history. I found out the in the World History Association, which took me to another site. This is the National Center for History in Schools. It talks about standards and how to each history in schools. This is site also has units for for US and World history. This will help you organize your sections as well.

My friend's blog and others

2008-02-01T09:58:00.000-08:00

I was looking around blogger and found two American Civil War blogs. I looked at the comment and the general jist of these comment were reacting what the blogger wrote. One of the comment were congratulating the writer because he was in a documentary of John Wilks Booth, the guy who shot Lincoln. In the other blog one of the comments were about encouraging the blogger to write more or to become a better blogger.

People post there comment on blogs to indicate that the blogger's work is bening read. It also make people think about different opinions that are in the world now days. Finally comments direct what the blogger dose next. For example if one of the topics is really popular the blogger will write about that the most to keep the readers filled with info.

My friend is also taking ETEC 414 as well he has video and other things as well. well here is a link his blog.

History Blog

2008-01-31T17:29:00.000-08:00

Well i found blog that dealt with history and how this teacher went though life as a history teacher. one of his post talks about resources about technology and education. These resources like: searching on google's lost tools, or making a teachers website so you students can use technology in the classroom. It also talks about his personal experiences as a teacher in Los Angeles area.

This could be very useful to help me to expand my teaching skills. For example, he has internet resources and personal experience will be helpful.
well take a look at this site http://www.ahistoryteacher.com/wordpress/

Learing in my ITE 401 class

2008-01-30T20:44:00.000-08:00

To day in class today i learned many things that about 'good the bad and the ugly' teachers. my group fo history cohorts mad interesting observations. I also interviewed a high school student and she said that her worst teach were when the math teacher was teaching McDonald's while she was teach the class. When this student asked for help after class the response to this student was "go a way I'm eating right now" I thought this was one of the worst teacher i every herd of. well i hope do not come across any teach like that.

On a happy note here is a picture i took at the Kahului airport i call it "the Heavenly Gate"
