Unleasing Potential with Emerging Technologies
This article really explored the realm of the different technologies that are being used in today's classrooms. Podcasting, blogging, wikipedia journals, and many other forms of technologies are changing the face of teaching as we know it. Our students are growing up in the age of where computers are very easy to obtain and the internet rules the world, so why not use these tools in the classroom. Students love going online and "googling" and researching new and unventured plots of information and as teachers we can make are classroom and assignments more enjoyable by allowing the creative nature of our students to show us how they are learning through these tools.

I agree with your assessment that students should be allowed to play with more of these new technologies in the classroom. I'm wondering what technologies you see is most effective? How can you ensure that using technology, as Kadjer suggests, is not simply relegated to typing up papers in the computer lab or powerpointing our students to death?
Looking forward to reading more of your ideas in the blog!
