This is How We Dream Parts 1& 2:
These two videos will be a good help or warning for future educators that do not know how to use a computer. In my opinion all future educators should know the basic operations of computer and learn about what they have to offer to the educator and student at the same time. It is the educator job to make sure they are trained properly about how to use the computers and also learn the different applications that are on it. If it is possible they educator need to research where classes are offered to learn about them. Basically the two videos how leaning has change from century to century. He talks about how writing has went from paper and pencil to globalizing. Mr. Miller also, discuss how citizens are living in a digital environment. Points out how collaborating is also used on computers. The video gives a good example of how computers are convenient to those that do not want to go to the library. He stated how he had to do a project for his job and did not have to step a foot out the house. Another, good example is that the computers allow you to do sound, visual, and printable documents all at once.

Network Student:

This was a big eye opener for me. This video is also a good video for future educators. This video shows what learning is all about. Basically a network student knows the ends and outs of communicating with people all over the world. This student is also learning and picking up different skills that will help them in their future endeavors. The student knows how to get in contact with authors, professors, and film makers. I think this is so amazing for a student to know how to communicate like this and share the information that they fine. In the video it stated how the student found information on American Psyche. He took this information to get in touch with experts to talk to his class. This student presents how technology is so great and how helpful it can be. It also give them commutation skills with people in the business world. Then, towards the end of the video it gives good reasons why this student still need assistance from a instructor. Some examples: the educators shows how to network, school them on good information from bad, guidance when stuck, how to communicate properly, and ask respectfully for help for the experts.

Dr. Wesch: The machine is changing us...

Discusses how computers will cause some people to loose interest in reading books. He also makes a good point about how the media changes our conversation. That is true because once you listen to certain things you become attach to it. Just like that saying: you are what u eat. The video makes good points on the students attention spans in the classrooms. He compares the students in this generation to the older generation in how their schools was designed. It is always good to go back and compare how the school systems have change and how students attitudes have change on certain things. This video was very helpful.
