We are in a completely new world where the kids know a lot more about technology than we do. Kids are using technology more in their daily lives than every before, and we need to change our way of teaching them accordingly. I love the line that we are digital immigrants and they are digital natives.

My takeaway from this session is that one definiton of digital divide is that some students are connected with and to technology while others are not because of economic differences.

I took the time to view this presentation and there were several points that captivated my attention. For instance, the ease of the speaker to use technology. We are now in a period of time which either you are "with it" or "without it." Technology is moving so fast that if we don't make a concerted effort to keep up with it, it will certainly leave us behind. What makes it more difficult to comprehend is that our kids (whom we think are not engaged in our regular classroom settings anymore, and which is probably true given the fact that our kids are now growing in a point in time where they almost literally hold access to any part of the world in their own hands) do not seem to pay attention to lectures because they refuse to spend a couple of hours just sitting down holding still while listening to what the teacher has got to say. Students want to do, to build, to get their hands on something related to technology. They want to communicate with others and what makes it more relevant is the fact that they are virtually fluent in terms of using technology; pushing and clicking and downloading and uploading information onto the web. What boggles my mind is the easiness with which students learn about technology. It appears they do not fear technology as much as grown ups do. Furthermore, it appears that playing video games has given them the courage to overcome their fears and be able to touch a computer and not worry about braking a key or deleting a file. Students/kids also help one another by knowing exactly what to download from the internet. My question is, Who is the first one to find the information and how do they find it?

It is always invigorating to listen to David Warlick. As we push our own and our student's learning, we must re-invent new boundaries. Learning in the 21st Century is dynamic and always changing. My takeaways include; refocusing my perspective on what my students should be learning. It really is about building skills that will allow them to learn in an ever changing environment. Teaching our students to become world citizens by sharing their learning and building on learning that has gone on before them.

We can create new virtual connections to learners in other places. We are no longer constrained by the rails, like the trains of old. We need to focus on the new ways information is being shared and help learn to process, validate and use it, and challenge our students to do this as well.
