(Emdin, 2016, p. 175). bgebert https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205084562 This quote is referring to code switching. Code switching is when you alternate between two of more languages or dialects during a conversation/interaction. Those who are able to code switch have better social interactions with the people around them. This video relates to this quote because Marlon is speaking about code switching and gives the same example of Obama speaking one way to one group and another way to another group. This makes him a "social chameleon." ]]> 2017-11-08 22:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205084562 "The grant came after a plethora of academic articles, news reports, and internal documents by the Department of Education described a digital divide between the rich and poor across the city" (Emdin, 2016, p. 188). bgebert https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205087519 This quote is referring to the digital gap between Urban and Suburban schools. The school Emdin taught at had been one of the last to receive new technology. This picture relates to the quote because it is a graph the shows the percentages of different electronics owned by differing income brackets. For example, 79% of families with an income of 75,000+ had a laptop. However, only 38% of families with an income of 30,000 or less had a laptop. ]]> 2017-11-08 22:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205087519 "The time will always come when teachers must ask themselves if they will follow the mold or blaze a new trail." (Emdin, 2016, p. 206) lynnnguyen1801 https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205118290

According to Emdin, there is a possibility that a teacher will teach in a way that the teacher has been taught. If this has any truth to it, then I will be a teacher who constantly lectures and have my students in rows taking down notes word for word. A teacher has a choice to either follow the same old trail or forge a new path. Although teachers may not get to decide what to teach, they have flexibility in how they teach. So get to know your students and break out of the mold. A teacher should always choose methods that will benefit the students. The picture I chose relates to the quote because it is a picture of a man making his own path. He chooses not to follow the mass but rather to try something different.

Teachers limit themselves and their students when they put caps on what their students can achieve" (Emdin, 2016, p. 207). corinaa https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205119704 I chose this quote because I believe it is could not be anymore accurate. Teachers' behaviors and confidence towards their students have a direct impact on them and their success. If a teacher does not think a student is capable of certain achievements, how can the student believe they are capable? Students have no limit on what they can achieve academically. It all depends on how the teacher motivates their students and how they help create grit. If students do not have grit, they will not have the motivation to learn and improve, but if the teacher makes the students believe that they have no limits on how great learners they can be it gives them something to strive for. I chose this video to go along with this quote because I believe it is a powerful example of the impact teachers have on their students' confidences. It shows the affect of a teacher's belief in their students. If a teacher believes in a students, the student will learn to believe in themselves.

By this I mean that the virtual conversations on Twitter take on the structure of a black barbershop conversation in relation to the overlapping exchanges, quick responses, and general emotional tone." (Emdin, 2016, p. 197) lynnnguyen1801 https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205119833 The author talks about how conversations take place on social media all the time. Twitter, for example, enables users to share their thoughts, ideas, opinions on a vast array of topics, and even share resources. It is a public space in which anyone at anytime can engage in dialogues and add messages through use of hashtags. Emdin suggests that Twitter be can be used in the classroom to engage students in meaningful dialogue. Twitter is a tool in which if done right, can complement students' learning. I chose this video because the author referenced the conversations on Twitter being similar to conversations in black barbershops specifically the effortless back and forth exchange of remarks and responses. ]]> 2017-11-09 02:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bgebert/28zp42v8efb2/wish/205119833
