What Will Technology Look Like in My Classroom?

In my classroom there will be eBooks instead of Textbooks. Instead of my students using pencil and paper to do their assignments they will use their eBook and email the finished work to me. Every student will have their own memory stick to make work more portable. I will use an interactive board instead of a chalkboard to have students want to participate more in class.

What Facebook Does to Kids' Brains

I think Facebook affects kids in both positive and negative ways. Some points that I agree with Rebecca Greenfield on What Facebook Does to Kids' Brains are that Facebook can help teens learn to socialize. For someone that is not social it might be easier for them to express themselves on Facebook over a post, rather than speaking in front of his/her peers. I do not think Facebook breeds narcissism because some people are self-centered whether they have a Facebook or not. I also don't agree that Facebook causes health problems, it just seems unreasonable. The two points that I agree the most with is that Facebook is both distracting and addictive to a lot of people, because at one point it kept me distracted from more important things. Facebook may not be addictive to me, but i'm sure that many people out there are.
