Lessons Learned-

I thought that the videos and websites were very interesting. I learned a lot of information from them. I learned that we need to introduce technology to students at a young age in order to help them in future jobs. I also learned that there are some schools out there that base all of their learning around technology. The school finds ways to help the students learn through being interactive. I also realized that it is important as a teacher and as a parent to learn some of the shorthand that students are writing. This protects them and helps use be able to see what they are writing and talking about. However my concerns on this subject are that students will begin to write short hand all of the time and will not care to learn how to spell. Students need to be able to write effectively in order to get jobs and to appear smart and professional.
I thought that these reading and videos were very eye opening. I especially liked “Why Integrate.’ I thought that this was very educational and eye opening. I was astonished at how many different ways that we use technology. One thing that I found very interesting was how in the future a computer will be smarter and able to compute better then the human population. This is just so amazing to me. I also found it very interesting that China will become the country that speaks English the most. I would have thought that it would always be the United States.
