I do not think that these are the types of technologies that should be incorporated in the classroom. Things like cell phones and facebook should not be mixed into the classroom environment. They are more out of classroom technologies. I feel that it would distract students in class if these were incorporated. It would be hard to get them to really focus on their work if they are around these things. You also may have trouble controlling what they are seeing or what they are doing. I think things like You Tube could be helpful in the classroom if it was censored. Its a nice thing for the teacher to use to go along with the lesson. It can really help the students see what they are teaching. Certain internet sites can only be used if there is a way to control what the students are seeing. There is a difference between the technologies you use in school and the technologies you use at home.

  1. I agree that we should keep the different technologies seperate because students already have a tough time knowing what types of language to use in the classroom versus at home or with their friends. So it will be even harder for them to know the difference between school and home if we combine the technologies.

  2. I agree with the fact that You Tube could not be monitored enough. I don't think it would be wise to use You Tube in the classroom because it can't be censored enough.
