Thing #2 - Thoughts about 2.0

The Machine is Us/ing video reminded me of an introduction to computer programing class I once signed up for in college. Everything had to be typed just right....right amount of spaces and exact language or it wouldn't work. I am glad that technology and the web is moving towards an easier more user friendly avenue.

Shift happens I'd seen before but seeing the statistic again still amazes me.The Vision video made me think about what I hear my students talk about before class. My Space, Facebook, Blogging and downloading things into their Ipods. I know the basics. I own an Ipod and can download music. I use the web to research and plan. I pay bills and make purchases online. I email and text daily but when something is not connecting right in my classroom, like the video to my projector.........one of my students will fix the problem. I look forward to the day that our students have enough technology available to them at home and school to be able to immerse themselves into digital learning.
