What do I think this class is going to be about? I think that this class will be about learning how to incorporate new technology and computer programing into a classroom setting. I think we will learn a variety of techniques and systems Chuckginter.drexel.edu@gmail.com http://integratingtech310-12.wikispaces.com/home

I think that there will always be Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. I think that no matter what you do, kids will always grow up with a new technology that they are more comfortable with using then teachers will be. I think that you can close the gap between digital natives and digital immigrants but I believe that no what you do their will always be a gap whether that be big or small. Technology is ever changing and some teachers will be able to keep up with that, but I don't think all will, and at the end of the day the gap between digital immigrants and digital natives will still be there.

Sam, It seems that we have similar opinions with whether there will always be Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Although it may be possible for the “technological ability” gap to be narrowed because more computers, software and Web pages are being designed in order to achieve a higher rate of user success it seems that the gap will never be fully closed. As each day passes, newer technology is being developed which will the upcoming generations will grow up with so it won’t even be consciously learning it for them, it will just be part of life. Although if you’ve ever seen Wall-E, the Disney movie, you might know it could be possible for all humans to lose their bones and rely ONLY on technology…

I agree that there will always be some sort of gap between digital natives and digital immigrants. I think that technology is ever-changing and it would be close to impossible for ever single person to keep up with new technology. -Samantha Gash

note to self: smart board with kettle, pictures showing how a story is being made, a kettle, or a cooking pot. Maybe a blank cook book with bullet points that we as a class can add during our brain storming session. Video clips of popular movies to show students what a rising action, climax, and falling action are.
