April 5 - Media Part 1

I watched The Essay on YouTube. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx2Slxp0TkM . It was a Nokia advertisement that Dr. Couros included on the media page of our wikispace site. It was about a little girl from the past writing an essay about the future. She writes about the capabilities of a cell phone similar to one we would use today. Everyone, from her classmates to psychiatrists, thinks she is crazy. 100 years ago no one could have imagined the technology we currently use so it is impossible for us to imagine the technology we will have 100 years from now. We need to incorporate modern day technology into our classroom so we can prepare our students for the technology of the future.

P.S. I tried to view Did You Know 2.0 and found that the video was no longer available to watch on YouTube.
