2 Queer ID

According to this book queer masculinity tends to develop in a counter way to typical masculinity. They end up in a space that is disruptive. 
These people tend to struggle for their id and end up protesting for it.
As I read about chapter 13 I find out that someone can read heterosexual texts in a homosexual light. Using imagination to conceive of the characters differently. 
This teaches the mind of the reader about such things and allows him an outlet. 
In chapter 15 an author talks about how same sex attraction is often grouped into such things as class and race.
Also the author notes how those women who are masculine may end up the "Other". In The Origin of Others Toni Morrison talks about the other. The dangers that the other faces are real. Many people grouped as the other face developmental problems.
The author urges people to view their bodies as endlessly becoming.
My interpretation is that we should see ourselves as ever changing and not to be overly attached to our current id.  
The author hopes to untangle sex, id, and gender in what he refers to as a matrix. 

By informing self on this topic i have learned about the body. the author believes it changes and that gender is fluid. 

This was an informative read.

    did you learn anything about yourself or your masculinity? that'd be cool if the book unintentionally taught you about yourself

Gumby Approach and It Never Hurts to Laugh

In this article several things stood out to me, including the sections mentioned in the title. The gumby approach is modeled off some action figure thing. it is very flexible. This approach involves approaching technology and teaching with an open mind and the ability to be flexible at all times. When something goes wrong, as it inevitably will, you don't freak out, or seem unable to go forward, but you find a way or brainstorm a new activity on the fly. If you are flexible the options are really really wide. It's as complicated as you make it most times. The other part that stands out to me is the part on laughing. I think this goes nicely with the be flexible part. When things don't go your way, you always have the option of going with humor! Laugh it off and people won't hold it against you!

Mini-lesson reflection

I believe students learned what was expected of them. I would have liked for the lesson to include answers to some questions such as can you make the questions anonymous. I found leading the lesson was cool. It taught me about Edmodo and my classmates. I am glad I got to lead a lesson. Some of my classmates had an understanding of Edmodo before the lesson. I feel like Edmodo is a strong app that is good for classrooms. I hope my classmates have learned enough to use the app in their classrooms. Based on my poll most of my classmates learned from the lesson.
