A Vision Of Students Today
This video was very unique, it made me personally think about the things that I am going through and can relate to. I can see how the internet plays a huge role in a students life. When i think about it though if teachers assigned assignments online, or allowed the students to bring lab tops to class (excluding this class lol), would students be able to focus on the subject? I have a feeling that is a NO! I know I go on facebook at least once every time I get online. I am a junior in college now, and i have a lot of responsibilities that i have to meet everyday! pay my bills, go to work, study, go to class, MANAGE MY TIME! I will admit I'm not the best at managing my time I love to watch tv :) but i make it work. My point is, being responsible (not perfect) will make a difference in my future, and hopefully in others as well. This message will also help me as a teacher, because i feel it is important to be honest with my students, and I will try my best to allow them to read things that interests them, and is also educational.

Toward A New Future Of "Whatever"
WOW! First off, I have never thought about the word whatever and how the word itself remains the same through media the meaning of it changes so much. This video was eye opening i never could and still can not wrap my mind around the internet. To me it is such a huge thing, I feel like I am just one person compared to millions!
It was difficult to think that when people blog, or facebook they are not really talking to anyone that they are just talking to themselves for others to read it is a very stange, but intertaining concept to grasp. Do I want to talk to a camera and make a video no I personally have no desire what so ever to do, and if it wernt for this class I probably never would, but that does not stop me from watching other peoples youtube viedos.
I see what he is doing with his students, and i think it is unique and educational.

It's Not About The Technology "Kelly Hines"
The article was very good! It started to make me think about things i can do when i get my own class. She made a lot of great points when it comes to teaching and learning. I totally agree with her when she talks about teachers having to learn from their students, because it is important to learn from your students and when a student teaches you something it causes them to feel so good about themselves and i think that is so important! I like when she also said that it is important to be update with the technology and knowing where your students come from and the things they do for fun online like facebook. I'm glad I read this article!

Is It Okay To Be A Technology Illiterate Teacher?
This blog was very interesting and funny. I have to agree with some of the comments what does it really mean to be technology illiterate because everyone has their own version of what that means.

Social Media Count
Gosh if anyone has not seen this in the class, they need to check it out! It amazes me that so many things are happening online EVERY second! This just shows in a couple of years when i become a teacher that the internet will be used a lot more than what it is now and that is crazy! Technology is a never ending system!
