1. Government subsidized internet as suggested by Christopher on my blog. I agree, but wonder how many will be up in arms with the government involved in their internet service?
2. Tiffany's link to an article of teacher versus students opinions on social media had me wondering if we will always be chasing students' desired technologies? I've heard it said that kids and parents shouldn't like the same music because songs should speak to what the listener cares about. And kids and parents shouldn't care about the same things. So does this same theory apply to social media? We are trying to implement what students use and are a part of their daily life, but do they really want us to? Should we be trying to do so? Not to say we shouldn't use social media but perhaps it's ok to use what works for the classroom rather than chasing what students are currently using and is 'cool'.
3. Thomas brought forth the resistance to technology is not about technology itself but the implementation of technology in our homes and schools. This brought me back to my image for refocus
4. Colin brought back to my attention the Conrad Wolfram TED talk on teaching math, not calculations, which fit beautifully with my inquiry based learning discussion in EDET 668. Everything is coming together!
