Self Esteem
Here is a video I watched on Mallory's Blog it is about student's self esteem. It unique and original. The combination of images, text, and music are striking. I wanted to share it with you all I hope you like.
Ordinary People
Great video to show it all starts with ordinary people. Let me know what you think.
How To Create a Blog Video
Here is the video you can view and below is a document you can print and use.
Over the week try to create a blog just posting. For your first post tell us about who you are, why you want to teach, fun things you like to do, etc...

i think it's all mind boggling how far we've come and the monster we've created in such a short period of time. this video raises the same questions (and more) about what the limits are and who is policing the internet and what happens there. it's fascinating and scary at the same time!
I am amazed at how much the internet grows constantly. We have come a long way very quickly. Technology moves very fast. It does raise a lot of questions regarding the internet. What are the limitaions, if any? Who controls everything? What will the internet be like in 1, 5, 10, 20 years? It is very amazing to me and very over whelming.
I am also in awe at how fast the internet constantly grows. With a blog being created every 1/2 a second, I am reminded of how careful we need to be when online. We really do need to rethink privacy, ethics, and ourselves. There are a lot of people out there, we have to be careful with what we take from and put online.
I think that the growth of the internet even in the last couple of years in phenomenal. This video made me think about all the resources that are out there, but also the need to make sure we don't use others stuff with out permission. It is amazing how fast the internet has grown and all the place we are going!
My first thought was the joy I felt using the new selectric that had a backspace key for whiteouts!! Oh my!! Today we're all so well-connected which makes our world smaller, yet larger with the neverending possibilities. How do we keep up and not just hear about, but understand and get a grip on what's new? A forever challenge.
Thinking about the web getting bigger and bigger as time goes on can be so intimidating when you think about it too much. I think the web is a fantastic tool, but it makes me wonder where we will go from here?
I thought it was fascinating. It really makes you think of how fast technology is growing and how much more there will be to learn.
it was a quick video with explaining the benefits and convenience of using technology verses the old classic ways of researching. it's stressful for me to see this cause it makes me realize how much i don't know BUT i know that i will learn through these courses in the program. it is pretty fascinating though.
It was interesting to see on the video how the method of using a pencil and paper to express ourselves has dramatically dropped in popularity. Now, all we have to do is create things on the internet and other computer programs. This is a very convenient for each of us to do.
This certaily gives us a lot to think about regarding technology and the direction we are headed with it. Technology is usually designed to make life easier but in the wrong hands is definitely dangerous. I have some of the same questions as others who have commented. Who does regulate the internet?
This video brought to my mind how technology isn't just for "techy" people. Programs are being made more simple to use everyday so that it can be used by ordinary people. Is the ease of being able to get info out there a good thing? - Not sure!
Most of this I was already aware of. As more and more people are connected to the internet, the internet will grow and along with it our understanding will also grow. It's interesting how much having access to information can change an understanding or pwespective.
I loved this video, it was fast, fun and the music was great! Isn't this all any of us want right now? I think what this video is showing us, is that the technology world has gone way beyond cut and paste. I'm excited to learn as many new things as I can about technology from this class to be a better teacher. Also technology is really fast, fun, and sometimes the music I'm singing is great!
Wow, that was fun to see some of the ways that I use the computer to make my life easier. For example writing has become so much easier for me. I can just hit the backspace instead of having earser marks all over my paper. Also, I realized I need to get out and try new things on the computer. There is so much available to learn.
Still not understanding what XML is. But I am annoyed at myself for barely knowing anything in HTML and then now I feel like I need to know XML. At any rate I like what the video said at the end about needing to rethink stuff like copy write, ethics, etc. I love also that this movie highlighted the way back machine b/c NOTHING is lost on the web. I can look back to 2003 and see the way my blog looked then. It’s come a log way.

What an amazing video! I never realized how much the internet is growing, and how much we are learning from it. I found the statement "We are the machine" very interesting. I never thought of it that way. However, when i think about it,that statement is very true. We help create and expand technology; therefore, we in turn, become the machine.
I could absolutely not believe it when it said that 100 billion web pages are being visited every day! Obviously, I knew that people all over the world use the internet but 100 billion is a huge number! It made me think about whether or not I have the knowledge to make good decisions when it comes to using this resource.
It was amazing to see how fast technology is growing. It is becoming very important to me to stay on top of new technology.
How far we have come! I was overwhelmed watching the video because of what kind of technology is being created out there. It worried me because I am still behind and don't learn as fast as some of the kids out there do. It is so amazing also to think of where we WILL be 5 years from now, can I keep up with how fast it is moving? Maybe they will make a technology that will be able to help people like me do that! ;)
That was very interesting. It brought up ideas, facts, and questions I haven't thought of before. It is crazy how far technology and the internet has come. Very interesting.
I love how far technology has come. I am so glad that formatting of the text is not such a big deal anymore. I can know take text from on place to another and not have to worry about the content. However it presents more problems with plagerism and copyrighting. I do think that along with improvments come negative affects. Technology is taking us to new levels of thinking. I am excited!!!
It was really interesting what has happened to the way we think and the way we interact with the world around us. Technology has come so far and is continuing to move farther and its moving fast!
The video "Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us" reminded me a lot of The Terminator. It is crazy how much we are depending on and teaching the Internet. I'm afraid that one day it really is going to rise up, take us over, kill us, or make us slaves! The video was done very creatively to represent (as I interpreted it) what text or writing once was and now what it is and becoming. Text once was "set in stone" literally. Now with the click or touch of a button a word can take you anywhere. The benefit, or danger, is in every time we do go somewhere with a word we leave footprints to be followed and learned from, each time giving and gaining knowledge.
Cool. I enjoyed the music. It actually made me feel like technology was being created right there and then. I found it interesting as to how much we use the computer and how much it does for us. Way cool. I enjoyed it.
the video was super cool! Technology gives us so many opportunities we would not otherwise have. It moves so fast!!
Technology has enhanced so many different things. They way we communicate with people is so different then it used to be now you can talk to someone in different forms. And which ever form you choose you can add many things to it to accent it so that it looks like your type of personality.
Wow it is crazy how fast technology is growing!! It is overwhelming to think about all the questions this video raises, but it was fascinating!
It amazed me that 100 billion times per day humans click on a Web page. Watching this video made me even more aware of the fact that information on the internet can be created in a matter of minutes. (YouTube, Blogs, etc.) The exciting but scary thing is that anyone in the world can view what you have created. The music tied in with the information presented perfectly!
I thought it was crazy how fast the internet is growing everyday. It also makes you think how careful you have to be. It makes you realize just how safe you need to be online.
scary and amazing.
Oh my goodness, I love seeing change within our lives! It is amazing how far we have come in this day and age. I love learning new information and being up to date; however, I am worried about not learning fast enough. I look forward to what the future bring!
Wow!I knew the internet was constantly growing but I had no idea just how fast. A new blog is created every 1/2 second? Amazing! I wonder... is it possible for the internet to become "too large"?
It is crazy how fast the internet is/has grown in such a short time. It is scary to try to keep up with technology as it moves so rapidly!
The video represented how quickly our society really is changing. Technology is changing our society. We have to be careful though, that it doesn't change too much. The very last comments about technology changing family and ourselves... do we really want our family and identities to molded by technology?

I think it's wonderful how we've gotten to the point where we really don't have boundaries. All kinds of information is available at just a click. Distance, space and time don't matter. However, we must exercise caution and discretion. The machine may be able to "think", but it's still not human with our abilities to use logic and discernment.
First I want to say, I'm so glad we don't have to write everything by hand anymore. Like it showed in the video, it is so much easier to edit and link things by computer. The world is connected through machines, but the machines wouldn't be they way they are without us. It's neat that we all can share some of ourselves with the rest of the world by creating a blog, videos, ideas, or other things. That can also be a scary thought too. Overall, I think it's really neat how technology is coming about. It makes me excited now to look forward to more creations.
What an amazing video! It is crazy how far we have come. Technology is everywhere now and it is making things so much easier and faster for us. I am so very glad I am in this class so that I can learn and grow in the technology world and make things easier for my students too!
I enjoyed this video. It is amazing how fast the internet has and is growing. I do like that with the blogs we don't need to enter codes like we did with uen. It is much easier to learn and use.
I honestly still get overwhelmed whenever I think and learn about technolgy. I guess I just need to get there one step at a time.
I used to work on the internet was it was called "DDN" and I am amazed at how far technology has come. Even though the internet has become easier to use and access, in my opinion, it has become even more overwhelming. Has I looked at recent advancements, I can only wonder, "WHAT NEXT?"
