I like technology that is fast and entertaining but teaches. It is great to use with staff for in-service after school hours. There is a YouTube video that teaches one about blogs. Really great, quick instruction.

Yeah, I love these video clips. This group does a number of this type of video's on all kinds of technology. I have used them in presentations to introduce folks to specific terms/technologies. Great find!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the YouTube video. I have recently started a blog myself! I think students and adults who are technology oriented can learn so much and be able to express themselves through the use of a blog for personal and/or professional use. However, I know some folks may learn best through other venues and blogs or similiar technology may prove difficult for them. I like to think of it as an online journal to share and reflect. I think students need to reflect and feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions. Blogs are great, granted that people respect one another's opinions and views. My question is: Blogging is recently new in the grand scheme of technology, what will be next?
ReplyDeleteI think everything will be cell based. My son uses his computer to word process but he communicates solely with his cell phone. If I want to talk to him, I know I can text him and he will answer me faster then if I call him. I don't know if he uses Twitter or not. I doubt it. I'll have to ask him.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right that cell based technology is the choice of our younger generation. And a text message is always answered before a phone message, in fact it is my experience that messages left on cell phones are not even heard much less returned.
