This blog opened up my mind to the need for change in how we view teenager's technology and blend it with the idea of school. At one point during the presentation, I heard a quote worded similar to this: "If we don't change the venue for distributing and then applying information, witin four years, media will lessen even more than it already has, our effectiveness as teachers with our students.
I was surprised at the idea of students having a life outside of school that is filled with technology and then they walk into the four walls of school and we ask them to separate themselves from their identity outside of school because it threatens us--we don't know how to utilize it. What if we asked the students how their "tech tools" could be used for assignments? What would they say? I wonder if they know more of how to answer this than most adults 10-20 years older than them.
