I commented on Sharon Elin's blog. She had posted Daan Brown's video about educational reform. She said that it was ok to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. That is a good thing. She says the educational system needs a major overhaul and we are the ones that are going to have to change it. As upcoming teachers we need to adapt the educatioal system with the rest of the world. Educational technology is so far behind, but I have seen some good things latly reguarding technology in the classroom.
Week 14
She talks about how ning is not offering free accounts anymore. Ning provides users with deicated online space and a template they can use to publish a social network of their own. This has made it very difficult for teachers. Do they pay, change sites or simply shut down. This is like making people pay for a facebook or something like that. This is rediculous. This was free to begin with so why make someone pay now. I just don't understand it.
