Did You Know

I have learned from the video that the internet is basically the single largest technology in the world. the internet can be used for most anything. 1 in every 8 couples meet through the internet, that's crazy i would have never imagined that. This video stressed how much technology is growing. The video also basically told that it will never stop growing.

The second video showed that technology is everywhere and you have to get adjusted to it. Some people aren't used to it because that's not the way they were brought up. I honestly believe that before long computer will be everywhere. You will have many in your classroom, in the library, and probably even more places than that.

The third video is stressing about creativity is needed.This guy was pretty funny by the way.He feels that technology will make them more creative.They are sitting in a classroom and aren't able to be creative.The basic subjects shouldn't just be important everything should be. All the classes they call electives theses days should be just as important as the other.He called it academic inflation i like the way he put that because the kids interests is being taken away.He told a great story of a girl who loved to dance, but anywhere else they might would have put her on medication and told her to settle down.The job is for them to see the whole future not to just make them get their degree and be done.

The fourth story talks about learning through computers also rather than just paper.You can tell she really has their attention.The kids learn to teach themselves,it wasn't just her up their teaching they were interacting and helping others.They were a very creative group,but it was because she taught them through technology and it interested them.
