Flood the Internet With Positives
Last week we were treated to a wealth of extreme techy information from Darren Kuropatwa and Rob Fisher. These gentlemen were very intellectual and articulate. I love the possibilities of using the voice notes recorder in class off of your cellphone, the presentation aids, and the vanguard of the presentation - 6th sense technology. Wow! How exciting is the prospect of this technology? You tube it RIGHT NOW! The 9 minute video from TED.com. See you in 9 minutes!
Ok now that your back...crazy right!? It's insane to think that were on the brink of such information. It should almost make desktop computers obsolete.
6th sense technology aside there was one thing that really hit home. Darren spoke of flooding the Internet with items that your proud of and want other people to see. Although it sounds like a no brainer there are many people who still believe that the Internet is a private place and that anything they put on there is theirs. This, as we know, is not always the case. As someone who posted something extremely stupid on the net at one time in my life, I can say that I learned the hard way and that we need to teach students to flood the net with positives so that they do not learn the same way I did. This goes for teachers and everyone else as well. That's all for now and for the Internet for Educators class but I'm sure I'll be back on here soon with some coaching news and notes. I hope you continue to follow. Good luck and take care.
Until next game,
Coach T.
