November 9

I was not in class on the day the class talked about future of education. I was with my cheer coach at a recruiting event.

I feel like being a teacher in todays society would be a challenge since technology is always changing and improving. I think that using iPads in a classroom could be useful to a certain point. However, I feel as if it could be a distraction as well. For research purposes it could be useful for students to be able to look up information on their own in the classroom. Back when I was in elementary school any time we needed to look something up on the internet we would have to go to the computer lab as a class and use our time there to find something about our topic. Now they can stay in the class and look up the information.
The chapter talked about mashups and how it takes a bunch of different websites and makes it into one. Like google maps. One can open google maps and locations will pop up along with their information; address, hours, phone number, and website. I use maps all the time.
