How Does Technology Change Our Lives?


In preparation for Mr. Weidig's guest appearance in our E319 class, I will ask you to engage in some eletronic discourse. Mr. Weidig is our school's Technology Coordinator, and he inquires as much as we do into the study of language - of course, his field is focused upon integrating technology into curriculum.

So, a few guiding questions for next Monday:

1. How did your cell phone change the way you communicate with your family and your friends?

2. Using the internet, how do you express your individuality in a global community?

3. In what ways have your lives changed as a result of being able to communicate 24 hours a day with ease?

4. How has technology impacted your education for better and for worse?

5. Do your teachers leverage technology in order to improve your learning?

Of course, digressions are acceptable. Have your voice be heard.
Mr. Weidig is presenting to over 100 educators next Thursday,
and literally, the topic is Web 2.0
(collaborative web ...
things like Facebook, myspace, Google, and text messaging)
kids love it, students love it - but why?
