I did my video by using pictures of my nephew. It shows the stuff my nephew Caleb does. I did not have too many problems doing the video other than finding pictures and the song that went along with it. I was well pleased with the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy it.

Football Time in Tennessee
Football season has started. After a disappointing loss the first week, Tennessee rebounded with a win against Southern Miss. Aaron, Adrian, myself, and four of Adrian's friends went to the game. Being at a game in person is so awesome. My Dolphins are 0-1 after losing a heartbreaker to the Redskins. It was good seeing my brothers.
I have been very busy doing school work. It seems like I am either working or doing homework. I was able to see my cool nephew. He liked the shoes and other presents we had for him. He has grown. Well, that is it for now.

Hello
Hello!
My name is Alan Seaver. I am from Church Hill, TN and have lived there all of my life. I am 25 and I still live with my mom. I am not married, but I have dated Kristen for almost four years. I have two brothers, who are both married. My middle brother has a three year old boy and has a girl on the way. My nephew is the coolest!! I graduated from ETSU in May 2006 with a degree in social studies. Since then I have tried unsuccessfully for a teaching job in the middle school level. I thought about going to grad school last year, but I decided to stay with my dad. He died from Lou Gehrig's disease in December. He had the disease for seven years and was on a ventilator for the last three.
I have worked at Hibbett Sporting Goods since 2ooo. I took some time off last Spring and took a six week interim job at Church Hill Middle School. I taught six grade language arts and loved it. I feel like I am more suited to teach younger kids so that is why I have decided to pursue a Master's Degree in elementary education.
I love sports. I am so excited for football season to start. I am a huge Tennessee fan and I also like Virgina Tech pretty well. I am a big Miami Dolphins fan as well. I love baseball, golf, basketball too. The Astros, and the Duke Blue Devils are some other favorites of mine. I also like to play sports games on my xbox. My favorite game is NCAA football.
I like southern gospel music. I like Greater Vision, Gold City, Legacy Five, and the Kingsmen to name a few. I was a huge Cathedral Quartet fan. I also like country music. Some of my favorites are Brooks and Dunn, George Strait, Diamond Rio, and Dierks Bentley to name a few. It is hard for me to pick a favorite movie, so I will list a few that I really like. That lists includes: Remember the Titans, Gladiator, Facing the Giants, Uncle Buck, and The Fugitive. Those are some that come to mind.
I use a PC with Windows Vista. I have a DSL connection. I hope to learn how to use more technology in my classroom. I am also excited to learn how to use some of the different programs as well. For example, this is my first blog so I am glad to know how to set one up.
As far as Chapter One goes, I agree that technology helps enhance student learning. For example, when I was doing student teaching at Surgoinsville Middle, I had the students do a web quest on the underground railroad. They learned more from doing that than they did when I taught on the topic. When I lectured, I used notes that I typed out, which made it easier for them to read and copy down. I also learned about some technology that I never new existed, RFID being one of them. One problem I do see with the rise of technology is that some counties may not be able to afford to purchase the items. Even though a lot of them get grants, some still do not have the resources that some counties/cities do. Overall, new technology helps not only the students, but teachers as well.
