A Vision of Students Today

Wow, this video hit the topic right on the head. The metaphors, certain placement of item and signs made this video interesting and mind opening. I can defiantly relate and agree with the video a 100 percent. The best part is when they shared the information about the text books. How there is another edition to every book with the same information. The whole point is for the companies to make money. The video can be very informal to freshmen coming into the lifestyle we call college. It can set the tone for what they can respect and mistake them can learn from and not make.

It's not about the technology

Mrs. Kelly brings up a great point in “It’s not about the technology”. Sometimes as a culture we tend to based knowledge off of what other people said. We fail to learn the appropriate way to use the technology. Just because we see someone else with it we want it, with understanding all the great benefits. Before going out the purchase a new mp3, ipod, iPhone or laptop we should learn how to use them and an effect manner. Yes, technology can be exciting and extremely helpful but learn how to use them properly will make the new gadget a great investment rather than a new toy.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

In my opinion, Mr. Fisch handling the situation the best way anybody should, blunt and truthfully. In present time it is of the up most important that an instructor be technology literate. Smart boards in the classroom can only help if the teacher is technology sounded enough to operate it effectively. Some circles might take offense to the honest and charismatic Mr. Fisch views on technological literate teacher. I believe the people who do take offense are just not use to change and stuck in their ways. Different digital tools are being invented everyday that can dramatically change and help the way we teach. Classes will be need for teacher and students to catch everyone up on technology so our education system can prosper.

4. Gary Hayes Social Media Count

Social Media will defiantly have a effect on the way we teach in the future. Social Media offer tools that we could dream of having before. Things like facebook and myspace can be use as a place to talk about class work. Students can write blogs about school assignment and the teacher can comment in order to help the students better understand the topic. Simple this like texting a teacher about assignment can make things a lot more easier for both parties.A course there is negative attributes of the social media count being on the uprise but if we master them the good will out weigh the bad.
