Video

After watching the video, I thought about last weeks discussion of a paper less classroom where students will complete all of their written assignments on computers. At the beginning of the video when the individual who is writing keeps erasing the words he writes with the pencil, I thought of how convenient it would be to write on a computer. Not only is it more legible and flexible; students can enhance their writing and content. For instance, if a student is writing a research paper, they can actually link the source they are using in the paper. This would be so helpful for students and teachers. We could actually see the sources and learn more about the topic.

Another interesting aspect of this video is how the Internet connects people. We can directly communicate with people from around the world. I think that students need to learn to have an opinion on something and take a stand for it. What would be a better way than responding to blogs or websites? Students could even create websites. This helps students become producers and helps them become involved in world issues that affect their lives.
