First I watched a peer editing video. It showed me to always be positive and make compliments and suggestions rather than bash someone’s work. It is important to revise someone’s work correctly without being rude or a “mean Margret” for example. No one’s work is perfect including your own and that is important to remember.
Kelly Hines wrote about technology in the 21st century and how it may not be the most important part of becoming a good teacher. Rather good teachers are also constant learners who should keep up with current teaching trends that work best. Teachers do not need modern technology to be a good teacher but can hopefully use it to enhance their performance in the classroom.
Karl Fisch strongly imposes his will that everyone should be technology literate comparing it to be as wrong as not being able to read. I agree it is important to strive to be literate in technology it can only benefit you not just as a teacher but also in everyday life. Being able to perform tasks on computer programs correctly will enhance the way people think, learn, and the worlds view on technology.
On Gary Haye’s cite shows you how many people use different forms of technology such as google and social media networks. It is truly astonishing how much information is simple posted through the internet everyday. Social media networks don’t have to just be about talking with friends but learning as well.
Michael Wesch’s video shows how the classroom has changes since the 20th century. Black boards have turned into smart boards and technology has taken over the students lives. Now days people revolve around technology and the internet. Times have truly changed in the past few years!

  1. Noah,
    I agree that if your not technology literate then how will you be able to teach the kids of today. Yes, you should be positive when commenting or revising someones work because no one is perfect.
