Vicki Davis

This video was very enlightening. Ms. Davis made a lot of useful points and recommendations for educators. Students need to become aware and proficient of the new technologies that the world has to offer right in the classroom. Many of our kids will probably learn about these things from their friends anyway. Some are also likely to use new technologies for negative purposes as well. What better way to use these advancements than for educational purposes? This will also help our students prepare for the future.

Mr. Winkle Wakes

The "Mr. Winkle Wakes" video made me think and imagine. What will the world be like 100 years from now? How will society differ? If we look back at the year 1909, society has drastically changed to say the least. This video was also funny in a sense. When I look back at my public school and now my college education, I see how so many teachers are not effectively incorporating the new technologies of the world into the classroom. Sometimes it seems like the schools, especially the public schools, have gotten left behind. This makes no sense at all! If anybody should be reaping the benefits of technological advancements, it should definitely be our children! Although its cliche', they are our future. This video also made me think about some of our elders who are like Mr. Winkle, who are afraid of technology. I really don't want to be one of those!

Did You Know 3.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and found it to be very fascinating. It's amazing to see how the world and technology are continually changing and advancing with each day. It causes me to wonder and imagine what the world will be like in 10, 20, 30 years from now and so on. It is truly mind-boggling, to say the least! As teachers I believe it is extremely important that we do our best to keep up with this rapidly changing society in order to better educate our children. We will be educating individuals who are most likely to be more technologically literate than we are! This is kinda scary! Its also scary to know that computers in the future will be able to do many of the things that people are paid to do right now. We're living in a time now where millions of people are already struggling with poverty and unemployment. But I do realize and understand that there are some things only that human beings can do and technology cannot replace.
