Michael Wesch: A vision of Students Today
This video does a good job pointing out different pros and cons of students lives today. The students also made some good points to. The video paints the picture of the average student in today's society. Showed how students waste their money, time, and education. One student made the point that I fellow classmate pay to go to school but never comes. Why would you pay to go to school and never come to class???? There are other citizens out there that would like to have your spot but can not afford it. The students on the video showed how they waste so much time using the Internet, testing, face booking, and tweeting. The time used for the computer could be used studying lesson. Another, good point was that students buy high priced books and half of the time do not use them at all.

It's not about the technology:
This post was very helpful to future educators like me. Mrs. Hines does a good job with this post. She looks at the subject at different perspectives. The main thing I got from this blog is that educators should evolve, adapt, and learn. She also, states that technology can be a good thing long as the instructor heart is in the right place. Technology is a different way of integrating lesson plans into the classrooms. This can help the educator and the students at the same time. Everyone should be willing to learn new thing as today's society upgrades each year.

Fisch: Is is okay to be a technologically Illiterate teacher??:

This blog post encourages educators to learn about different applications about computers. I think this is a very good idea considering that most of the citizens all over the US is using them. This blog makes some good points about this topic. It points out that it is okay to know and learn about computers. Teachers should be able to use technology because most of today's society is integrating computers into lesson plans. I think every citizen should be able to use or learn about a computer because each year something new comes out and the world is using them more. For example, most company's is moving from paper applications to computer applications.

Gary's Social Media Count:

Gray came up with a good idea to show citizens how much they are using computers. The idea of having statistics of different web sties usage is very interesting. It shows how the world evolves around the computer in today's society. But statistics has it pros and cons to it. Statistics change every day and are not exact. This project of Internet usage shows how citizens spend most of their time day in and day out.
