Thing 5
Well, I guess I didn’t think far enough into this class to realize that students were being taught the same class that we were. After reading the feed http://students2oh.org/2008/10/07/where-have-all-the-students-20-gone/#comment-1364, I felt a little sad that these students are basically learning these skills, then moving on. All the while, we are still playing “catch up” by trying to integrate these new technologies into our classrooms in order to engage these very students who are already on to the next latest, greatest thing. I do, however, feel that blogging is an important tool. It helps us connect, sympathize and even empathize with others across continents, but at the rate the number of blogs is growing, I’m not sure how relavent it will be in the future. If the blogging world gets too big, it will be impossible to manage – kind of like government!
