Ok, I was watching the morning show as I was getting ready for work the other day and the subject they were talking about was related to people being addicted to all of their gadgets thus taking away from their family/leisure time. One item specifically was e-mail. I guess it's the sign of the times and probably relates to the matrix movie as well .... that some people just need to feel connected at every moment.
On another note related to technology, I had received me NEA magazine and in it they had an article about a podcast and how a fourth grade class is utilizing this technology within their curriculum. The article was quite interesting and is a thought for my paper as well as my project. Just thinking aloud. It's kind of funny because I had soooo much trouble getting to listen to the first podcast and with a little assistance was able to listen to it. So it may be interesting myself trying to utilize and find out more about this.
Another news blurb I heard during the week discussed a survey about how teens feel about school and one item mentioned in the discussion was that students are bored with their classes. They want the curriculum taught in different ways including those using technology.
So, this class has opened up my eyes and ears to looking out for and being more interested in the technology out there and how it effects both myself as well as others.
Finally .... we bought a digital camera! Yeah! Enjoy the weekend!
