Wow I never knew that google has so many options. I was impressed with all of the documents that can be obtained. I have learned that I have to remember when I have become a member of something. I did go back an delete an old account and now have a new account.

Comment on document:
Children are learning 49% Online, Communicating 43% and Exploring 28%. Are these percentages while the children are at school or at home. Because as a parent I feel that my children would be playing games most of the time. Does this fall in the exploring and learning areas? I do have to agree that my children do spend less time watching t.v. They want to be involved with computers. Maybe it is because they see their parents with them and want to do what they are doing. (We aren't playing games!)
I have have to agree with the statistic that "Children and teenagers use computers and the Internet more than any other age group. I can still remember the first time that my oldest "played" on a computer. Now it is nothing for my 3 year old to click on the internet icon. He knows what to look for. However, he still needs the help navigating around and getting him to a site that is suited for him.
While reading a Digital divide the author commented on how it is up to the parents and teachers to make sure that these children are spending their time well in getting ready so that they can successfully be ready for the 21st Century. As a teacher I feel that I am helping my students do this. Now I need to make sure that my own children are preparing themselves. They already partake in small activities on the computers. I need to help them expand their knowledge and not hold them back.
Digital-Age Learning talked about how school leaders need to drive change, taking on new, collaborative roles. I feel that our school district is moving along with the 21st Century skills that students need when they leave high school. I feel that our biggest task right now is showing the community how we are using these tools for the students. We can't have students going out into the community telling people that the teachers are not using the computers in the classroom. If we inform the community the preparation for our students' future should be very successful.
Digital-Age Literacy;Basic literacy, scientific literacy, economic literacy, technology literacy, visual literacy, informational literacy, multicultural literacy, and global awareness, WOW!oday’s students need so much more than what we needed when growing up. It is up to us to help them. Wow!I believe that each student that comes through the doors of O’Neill have a little bit of each of the digital age literacy. Some may be stronger in certain areas while weak in others. As an educator we need to see the weaker areas and help them become stronger in those areas.
Effective Communication I feel is the most difficult area for LD students. When it came to effective communication these students did not have the tools to help them be successful. I want to know how to show students that this is equally important if you don't have the technology background. If I had that magic wand to show them how to make this more effective with them I would.
I enjoyed reading the part on Electric Soup. I will share this with the English teacher next year. My goal is to find something out there to help students become those 21st century learners. What can a resource teacher do. I feel helpless.
