Watching this video is a big concern for me! I don't agree with our future kids basically being taught only from computers, we as educators have an obligation to teach students in a classroom setting so they will be able to learn more and grasps the concepts of the new technology and doing everything online.
But it's a great way to enhance ones computer skills and learning of different things with technology. I find it interesting to be connect with the world by your fingertips. Kids can interact with students from across the states and even the world. I still feel we should keep the traditional way of learning in the classroom because it's hard to teach yourself things without help.
Only reason students need a teacher is to be able to learn the skills and tasks assigned to the students. But as this technology grows and we go away from the classroom settings there will be less of an opportunity for educators to get jobs because there will be no need to pay them to do a job that has hardly no significance for classroom.

This Is How We Dream was a remarkable production by Dr. Richard E. Miller of Rutgers University. Dr. Miller mentioned alot of important advances that technology has made over time and how the world will benefit from these technological advances. Dr. Miller's presentation revolved around the impact that technology had on the world for the most part, and he mentioned specifically on how technology has transformed the way that people learn writing. Before the television was invented info would take several weeks to travel across the world, but now with one click of a button you can connect the world, During the radical protests of the 1960’s people would chant the phrase “the whole world is watching”, and like no other time in history the whole world was watching. Because of this new technology the world had to base its political ideology on what had been seen through the television.
The Presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were the first to ever be televised, and it was altered the way that people would view an American president. Technology changed the way people viewed their politicians, and technology became the most influential way that swayed people opinion. People look back at the beneifits that technology has made over the years and wonder how they could ever do without technology such as: the television, the radio, and the cell phone. Just like the invention of the television we are now experiencing an even greater aspect of technology during this age, computers, cell phones, ipods and ipads, technology is at an all time high and continuously growing and of this technological advancement was the main goal of Dr. Miller's presentation.
Dr. Miller focused his presentation around the vast amount of information that people have access to. Through modern technology we have access to the riches of the world, and with such access who are we to hold information to ourselves? Technology has provieded many benefits for the society that we live in, but the greatest benefit that Dr. Miller brought out was the ability for the world to unite and share information. The art of writing has been around throughout the history of the world, but only resontly has the written language evolved to a universally accessable form of media. Another important aspect of technology that Dr. Miller brought out was the collabrative tools which are so easily accessed and used from the internet. By utilizing collaborative tools such as Facetime, Skype, Google documents, and many others people are able to come together, regardless of geographical distance, and work on a document at the same time.

Carly did a great job with blog post #12. I really enjoyed her suggestions of the Youtube playlist, and I see how creating a playlist could benefit me as a future educator. Carly's writing styles I believe was the same caliber with Dr. Miller's presentation about writing with multi-media. Carly's blog post was in great depth, and her blog post was the perfect example of how we as future educators should write our work. I'm a student who often writes blog posts in EDM 310 are what I would call "satisfactory work", but we as future educators shouldn't do any satisfactory work we should aspire to go above and beyond! Carly's post was above the normal and great efficient use of technology, and I salute her for the excellent blog posts!
The Chipper Series & EDM 310 for dummies
The first video that I was assigned to watch was The Chipper Series. This video was about a girl named Chipper who disliked how Dr. Strange ran his class. Chipper went through many stages in the video such as: complaining, dropping out of school, starting a school, she was hired at a school, she tried to become a nanny, she became a garbage collector, and finally she returned to school. This video illustrated the importance of submitting assignments on time.

C4T#3 Summary
I left comments under Jenny Luca is teacher. She had a interesting blog post about her daily routine and what she plans to incorporate in her life as far as her kids and how she does things. There was a interesting video on her page from a guy name Rives, he basically did a comedy skit on what the world would be like if he owned the internet. Very funny for the most part and also he had some interesting points. I enjoyed following this teacher posts.
