Most of the articles were talking about how technology was used in the classroom. One that I liked was Tools for Change, because the idea that you could put a hole textbook on a Kindle would save not only paper, but money for buying the huge expensive college books. I also like the idea from the TechWatch video that we can Social Network even more, and correlate it into our everyday classrooms. I’m excited about the technology because it gives us more and more ways to learn by using everyday activities that we can actually see and do.
I am a little concerned about the touch tables that they want to integrate into schools. I know that it's amazing technology and it is very useful, but I wouldn't want my students to just be on the touch computers everyday. I want my students to still write shorthand, even though it is going extinct (typing is taking over). I do want my student to experiment in crafts other than those they can create on a computer. I'm not putting down computers, but I do like hands on activities where students can learn other things as well.
