Lesson Learned

     I really liked how the tools for change slides gave the old ways for teachers and students and the new ways using technology. It really put things in perspective for me, technology really has change the way we learn and I think it is wonderful and that teachers need to embrace technology. I thought the video about social networking was really cool, how they told all of the benefits of using social networks in classrooms. I never thought of the benefits in class, we have talked about it in class yet I never heard any reasons why.  I enjoyed the list of online acronyms, I thought it was funny that people know them, I didn’t even know the ones he said everyone knows, like IMHO and AFK. I’ve never been a fan of acronyms but it might be nice to know them as a teacher. The other memorable article for me was the study about students that do some writing outside of school of some sort. I found it interesting to see the percentages of students that did writing after school and the small percentage that felt those writing effected their writing for school.
