Class Extension Assignment
It was great to meet all of you today. I am looking forward to the semester and hope you will find it productive and meaningful.
As an extension for our class, I have one additional video for you to watch. You will find it very similar to the one we watched in class today with some additional information. It is only a few minutes long. The video is located on a website called Teacher Tube (http://www.teachertube.com/). While I have the direct link for the video, please feel free to look around the site - it contains all kinds of videos created by teachers with quite a wide range of topics.
Begin by viewing the video. You can view it directly from this blog or accessing from the website:
http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=40c570a322f1b0b65909
Similar to the video in class, this was created as a motivational tool for teachers to encourage them to pursue using technology in their instruction. Also, as I mentioned in class, please don't take offense to the intensity portrayed throughout...I don't want anyone to feel "attacked" if they don't agree with the entire message.
Once you have viewed the video post a simple yet reflective response to your position and/or opinions about what you took from the video. Consider ideas such as what you think about "digital learners" or about Bill Gates' comment about "richness", or other ideas that struck you. Feel free to be honest and answer freely based on your personal feelings and perspective. I hope you all feel comfortable to express yourselves without fear of scrutiny. I am very interested in as many perspectives as possible.

See you all next week!!
