Also this blog tell you about a different perspective.
And this one for the last.
My opinion with all these blogs is that it does help us because it helps us understand technology more better, and our hand eye coronation, but i don't think its improves our critical thinking.
ABC news:
- Do you agree with their findings? Yea all the way.
- How does LMA meet or not meet students need to fidget? we get bouncy balls, fidget toys, and rubber bands at the bottom of our chairs, that's more then I have ever had at any other school.
-What programs are in place at LMA? If you don't know yet, what questions might you have? bouncy balls, toys, special room.
- What do you wish school and teacher better understood about the way you need to learn? I need to be able to walk around the room, and i like to work in the dark.

Edmodo;;
=
- How could this be used in the classroom? You can talk to your teacher on this and nobody will know what you are saying. You don't have to call you teacher if she is online.
- Would this enhance class discussion or distract from it? Enhance, because I would ask more questions to you, so i don't have to be shy in asking aloud questions.
- Do you think EdModo could catch on in large classrooms? Oh, Yeah I think it would.
- How would it help or distract you as a learner? You might get addicted.

Keeping Away Infectious Diseases
I know I try to be conscious about washing my hands as much as possible throughout the day especially before and after I touch frequently touched areas (computer keyboards, door knobs, coins, etc). However, I'm sure I don't do it as frequently as I should. I would guess that I was my hands 12-15 times a day. I also use anti-bacteria sanitizer in the classroom along with Clorox wipes on my computer and desk area.
What about you? Is washing your hands something that you think about frequently throughout the day?

the myth the video games make you violent
According to federal crime statistics, the rate of juvenile violent crime in the United States is at a 30-year low. Researchers find that people serving time for violent crimes typically consume less media before committing their crimes than the average person in the general population. It's true that young offenders who have committed school shootings in America have also been game players. But young people in general are more likely to be gamers — 90 percent of boys and 40 percent of girls play. The overwhelming majority of kids who play do NOT commit antisocial acts. According to a 2001 U.S. Surgeon General's report, the strongest risk factors for school shootings centered on mental stability and the quality of home life, not media exposure. The moral panic over violent video games is doubly harmful. It has led adult authorities to be more suspicious and hostile to many kids who already feel cut off from the system. It also misdirects energy away from eliminating the actual causes of youth violence and allows problems to continue to fester.http://www.pbs.org/kcts/videogamerevolution/impact/myths.html

Kids who watch more TV eat junkier food as they grow older.
Does TV make you fat? There’s a growing body of evidence connecting more TV watching with poorer diets.
The latest study in the field has found that kids who watch more TV than their peers while in middle and high school have less healthy diets five years later. As young adults, they eat more fried foods, fast food and sugary drinks and consume fewer vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
“We can’t say we know the specific mechanism linking TV and diets, but we see this relationship,” says Dahlia Barr-Anderson, lead researcher of the study and a scientist at University of Minnesota’s School of Kinesiology. (Kinesiology is the study of human movement.)
Barr-Anderson offers some common-sense explanations for the TV-diet connection. She says that many snack and soda advertisements are aimed at children and can influence their food choices. Plus, many lifelong behaviors are formed in adolescent years, including the preference for snacking while watching TV.
American adolescents are a noticeable part of the national obesity boom. In the mid-1960s, fewer than 5% of 12-19 year old were overweight. Today, some 17% are overweight and another 17% are obese.
Harvard researchers have previously found that that for each hour of TV viewing, kids consume an extra 167 calories a day, largely because they eat more junk food and fewer fruit and vegetables, Barr-Anderson tells the Health Blog. Separately, research from the University of Missouri-Columbia suggests that eating family meals and cutting down on TV viewing can help keep kids from becoming overweight.
The latest study is based on a survey of 2,000 middle and high school children in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. Unlike many previous analyzes on TV and diets that compared subjects’ behavior at the same point in time, the latest effort tracks behavior in two separate periods. It appears in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.

Other Health Blogs
The first blog I looked at was called "Chicago Hospital Systems Agrees to Boost Care for Poor, Uninsured". It was published by Sarah Rubenstein. The blog talked Advocate Health Care hospital in Chicago agreeing to give charity help to patients that earned 400% of the federal poverty level. It also said that the Resurrection Health Care hospital in Chicago will give a 25% discount to uninsured patients.
I gave this blog a five because it had complete sentences, talked about health and it had a connection to what we are studying.
The second blog I looked at was called "Cosy World of Cancer-Drug Compendia Draws Questions". It was published by David Armstrong. This blog says that lists of drug using will help in finding out if Medicare has to pay for medicine that they perscribed in a way the FDA didn't approve. It says that the American Hospital Formulary Service and the Foundation for Evidence-Based Medicine will make drug makers $50,000 for every off-label drug they make. I gave this a four because I couldn't understand some of what he was saying.
The third blog I found was called "Kids TV Viewing Shapes Eating Habits Years Later". It was published by Gautam Naik. Gautam was talking about how kids that watch too much TV will eat more unhealthy foods later in life. The blog says that in the 1960s less than 5% of people ages 12-19 were overweight. Today 17% are overweight or obese. I give this a five because Guatam described this in a clear way.
The next one I found was called "Mold and Roaches Found in Peanut Butter Linked to Salmonella". It was written by Sarah Rubenstein. Sarah said that the salmonella that came from peanut butter made in a factory was caused by mold and roaches from that got into the jars. The company didn't throw out the bad jars, and now all of there products that have been made since January 1, 2007 has been recalled. I gave this a five because everything was explained very well.
The last blog I found was called "Tell Your Mom-Game Testing Is A Serious Job". It didn't say who posted the blog. It says that people don't think testing video games isn't a serious job, but it actually is. They have to test new games from start to finish. They have to find every bug and make a note of it and tell the makers. I gave it a five because the blog explained everything in a way I can understand.
