1 Mr. Wesch: A Vision of Students Today
               Wow, that video was very eye opening. I was truly taken back about how it was put together, and I do agree with what the students were holding up on their signs.  It seems like what they were trying to show us is that a lot of people us more technology now did they us to.  We rely on it more, it is like our safety source for information, watching video's, writing papers, and talking with friends.
                I do agree with the video, not only because it is true, but because a lot of that has happened to me and countless others. Pretty soon people won't have to even go to class because they will all be online or self learning.  Some of the books that are bought are never even opened because we either us notes or our computers to get our information.  Even with all these downsides to college people still fork out a lot of money to go to school because we all want to be successful at something one day

2 Kelly Hines: "It's Not About the Technology" 
               I enjoyed reading Mrs. Hines blog about the future uses of technology. I think it is coming very clear to not only student's, but also to teacher's that technology is increasingly growing, and no one is going to stand in the way.  For some teacher's it is hard to make the transformation from chalkboards, to dry erase board, and know they have came out with whiteboards.  While the changing from one to another can be difficult it is what a teacher is suppose to do. New things are happening for teachers and students alike, and teacher's are always learning new things.
              So, even though all this changes are occurring, not only for teachers but for the student's as well they can work together to learn all this new technology that is coming out.  It maybe hard but it is going to happen sooner or later, it is just the fact of whether we are going to work hard to understand all the changes that occur in that process

3 Karl Fisch: Is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?
             Mr. Fisch had some great points, teacher's do need to kind of wake up and the use the 21st century technology that is sweeping the nation.  There are some teacher's who believe they don't think computers and new technology is necessary, but it is we as a country is growing and so are inventions, technology, and people to.
            So, even if you are one of those types who don't think you can understand a computer or a new cell phone even play with it, learn on it, and try new things with it.  Don't just toss it to the side thinking you are never going to us it.  Because you may not think you will but in a couple months you will learn something new with your computer, and you will think what else can I learn.  Pretty soon you will be handling like a pro!

4 Gary Hayes Social Media Count
            For future and teachers know it is very informative about what the social media count shows, mainly because it can be useful in such ways as to tell us what students and kids a like are interested in and what sites they visit. This can be useful in away of getting information across to them in a school way, and let it still be interesting for them to use.
