However, the more students who just show up and insist upon using their laptops the more likely it is that change will happen. Good luck with it and insist upon implementing newer technologies. We are mature enough to handle technologies, and all teachers must understand it. @amiller It is very unfortunate that teachers can be so naive and fearful of change.

I see the same thing happen in a lot of my classes that happened to you. I don't know why teachers can be so naive that they don't believe that we are mature enough to use technology wisely in classes. I am also in the same laptop class.

In fact, those two skills are some of the most useful skills on the computer. (And you'd be suprised how hard it is for some people) I'm glad to hear that you are learning about the power of blogging/reading blogs. Hopefully, you'll be inspired to keep on bogging and interacting even if this class is over. What other blogs have you been reading? What are your thoughts on the edublogesphere so far? Blogs are certainly a great way of learning about any subject. I recommend you also check out some blogs not related to academics at all. (There are some <em>great</em> sports blogs out there) When you read a blog for a while and comment, you start to feel like you really <em>know</em> the blogger. In turn, this makes their thoughts about the subject that much more relevant. For instance, I'd much rather get a movie recommendation from someone I have had some interaction with <em>and</em> is a great movie buff than get a recommendation from some overpaid reviewer working off in some office somewhere. Good luck with the blogesphere! Stop by anytime. The ability to make movies in iMovie and your own websites are certainly not basic.

We have been learning how to make projects on IMovie and working on setting up our own websites. Currently, we are working on blogging and researching using blogs. Our assignment was to comment on at least 10 educational blogs and keep track of them using our google notebooks. I love the fact that I can use blogs to get a better understanding on just about any subject imaginable.

I figure you're all in the same laptop using class? @They call me Ruth: It's good to hear that you are willing to share your computers with other students. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more and more classes/schools adopt 1 to 1 learning so that <em>every</em> student can have their own computer. And yes, I am really 14. I'm a freshmen in high school. @Andrew the great: Sorry for disturbing you... I'll try not to show my claws. @The Tehnee: I think you really hit the nail on the head. Connections are really what computers and the web are all about. And what is learning but a strengthening of the connections between you and the world around you. I'm glad to hear your learning some useful programs. Hopefully, the skill sets are transferable. What specific programs have your found most useful? Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
