Education Technology: Schools that Cannot Afford

This article from the Huffington Post talks about disadvantages from a rising number of schools who cannot afford the technology needed for education. Some schools can only afford up to 24 computers per thousand students. I can relate to this article because when I was younger I attended very small schools with a limited amount of computers (these computers where not up to date either.) When I came to Anderson County I was blown away from all the technology and how much we had to use it, it was all new to me. It makes me wonder how much more I would of know before if my old schools had the same amount of technology. I also believe that if poor schools such as the ones in the article don't update or get more computers soon, they will be unable to function efficiently just as other schools can.

What I have learned so far in 21st Cent. Skills.

So far in this class I have had the opportunity of making several different accounts in various programs such as diigo, blogger, iGoogle and Wiki. Everything right now is still kind of confusing, especially diigo. There are so many things you can do on each account I still havent figured everything out...Along with all the accounts I'm slowly learning how to stay organized on the web and what websites I should visit and/or not visit. The funnest thing I think we've done so far is create a blog and make a presentation. Haha stay away from porn. :)

Response to Digital Nation

It was hard to take in all that was in the documentary about our "Digital Nation." Staring at this computer screen right now has got me thinking that our world that we use to know is now becoming a place that is not real at all. I wonder what would happen when every single person in the world becomes consumed in this never ending phenomenon of technology. How would people survive if it was suddenly taken away? People my age see technology and the immense advances in computers and gaming a great thing, to make things easier, to make things faster. Others, such as the generation above us, see it as a bad thing that has the ability to turn us into cyber zombies that do not know how to truly live. My final thought is this, who am I going to be in 5 years after spending much more time on the computer than I ever have?
