Connected Classroom

This video is comparing the classroom our parents had compared to what is becoming. This video really made me think about our future as teachers. The different ways we will be teaching compared to how we were taught. This scares me! "Connected Classroom" talks about how us as teachers needs to adjust and teach the way the students these days learn best. Which is using technology. In this video they compare an ipod to a juke box and how the ipod can be held in your pocket with news, songs, and many different applications. Looking at the pictures below.  WOW. They also talk about the population of China--which is crazy! China is going to be over ruling the United States, they are so advanced. Will this change the education program in the United States? Scary to think about.Then they say MySpace is the 12th largest in population. Which is true...everyone is connected in social networking. Do we need a president of Myspace now? Seems weird to think about. From thinking about 10 years ago to now I just can't believe how far we are in technology.  Just think in the next 10, 20, 30 years! Will Myspace be the biggest in population? Willl China rule the United States? Questions to think about.

Compare the Juke Box to the Ipod...What an improvement in 30 years!!
