My thoughts on technology keep going every day. This video on youtube makes me think so much about my own child (almost 3 years old) and what the future will be for him:

I also worry that education won't be able to catch up and he will see a different world when he starts kindergarten compared to the world he is growing up in with computers, ipods, etc. Yet, what will happen if he is in a class with a student who has never seen a computer? How are teachers going to be prepared to differentiate the tools, along with the instruction?
Overall, I am having so much fun doing the 23 things. It is opening my eyes to all of the options out there. It helps me see how schools need to step up and get going on technology to connect with students' lives. Hurry!
