Can anyone tell me the name of the music composition played in this video? It is absolutely beautiful! I know many teachers who like to play music softly in the background to help students to focus!

All of my students have been supplied with laptops. I spend most of my time in class monitoring to see if they are on-task and not off playing games or exploring inappropriate sites on the internet. My time would be better spent assisting students and answering questions but because the whole world is available to them inside the classroom I am spending valuable face-time with my students just monitoring inappropriate use of these laptops.

My school district blocks content but students are very good at finding and sharing proxy sites. They are also not as tech savvy as administrators and school board members seem to think they are. They are no more interested in using the laptops to learn than they are in using books. The laptops simply give them a more exciting way to be off task.

I do like using technology as a tool in my classroom. Computers and the internet are useful resources but that is all they are, another tool/resource.

2.7 billion searches on google DOES NOT mean 2.7 questions. It means 2 billion searches for porn. "omg 10K hrs txt, lol." is not writing, nor reading. Developing PODcasts will take away time from classroom presentations. Do you have time for both? Watching a screen IS NOT being a digital learner. Playing computer games, watching TV, CDs, or youtube is not creating. My thoughts, not supported by any research except observation as a teacher and parent is that children like the computer because they have control of the content they engage with. Give them control in the classroom and they will be engaged.

Really? Who's going to enforce basic printing skills? Fine motor development? Using scissors? What should happen if the power goes out? The batteries die? We don't learn today because we've only taught them how to be "digital learners" and the equipment does not work? How about families who cannot afford computers, i pods, cell phones? The academic gap between financially secure students and those not so fortunate widens because they cannot afford/have access to this equipment? Please do not be so arrogant as to abandon other forms of learning. Technology is a TOOL to teach with as is a pencil. Let's not forget that. When we have a world of people who need to be stimulated every second of the day due to overuse of some of these creations and can't begin to think for themselves without a computer nearby, where will we go from there? Haven't any of you people seen the wall e movie?

Get districts to pay for decent technology in school. This video makes me angry because the school with its software blocker programs thwarts every effort i try to use technology in my classroom. Of course they tell us to do it, and then make it impossible to do.
