The Semester Must End

throughout this semester I learned so much stuff that I didn't know Google had to offer. I took plenty of notes on the programs, and I can really see them being useful to my classroom.

My birthday is in January so I had to pick the first blog. This blog reaches a very good point about the country we pledge to and serve. When is this country going to serve its citizens?

The Ipod @ Duke

I think that this proves education is heading in a new direction. I think that this is a brilliant way to boost communication and educational interest in colleges.
I would love to be able to use audio in my classroom. I think that it enhances the student's learning environment and possibilities. I also think that students, especially elementary age children, would be more interested in learning if it was through some musical expression.

Wikipedia

I think Wikipedia will be a credible source of information in the far future. The free use of users to be able to edit or delete information has been rampant and frequent for a long time. This website that poses itself as a credible source of information is using, to its best ability, free speech and free use.
The hope of finding editors by their IP addresses and other decodable manors is giving those of us who want to find 'facts' a chance to actually do so. However, I feel that it will be a long time before Wikipedia, if ever, becomes a good source of information.
"A Cultural Revolution: From books to silver discs"

I think that it is a good idea for schools to focus mainly on computers and other ways of learning. I am for the watching and listening revolution. I believe that it is happening and is only going to increase in the future. I would still like to have a little reading in my classroom, but I definitely feel that it is important to incorporate computers because so much has changed in the new millenium, and lots of things require computer knowledge.
