Back in My Day...

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

  1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
  2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
  3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”


I've been reading all of your blog posts and I have been impressed by the thought put into your posts and responses. Many of you made comments that made me think of the above Douglas Adams quote. We all have some experience with technology, but aren't completely sure about newer technology uses such as social media.  I'm looking forward to how those ideas change (or don't) as we continue in the class.

Your Journal Assignment for tonight is  ISTE's Leading and Learning magazine. The article is "Should Students Use the Internet While Taking Tests?"  Is this something you had ever thought about? What are the best ideas from each side? How do you feel at this early point in your career?
