As I read chapters one and Two, I progressively became more aware of the importance
of literary growth. These reading enabled me to view the history of education and learning in a diffrent way. To clearly understand the purpose of the uprise and stability of new technology when it comes to computers and it's purpose in education allows us to see the value of updating and implementing it effectively in our classrooms. It is evident that our school system is functioning under the Industrial period mind set, living under the world routines. Everything we do for the most part is based on the limited physical world. Were progressing accordingly by speed and sometimes more efficently. However, if you look at the youth of today, they are products of the cyberspace generation. I do believe that what we thought as being an attention deficet, or off task and inappropriate behavior, is in reality, the result of living in a world that communicates physically with boundaries and a world that communicates in space with unlimited opportunities. I acknowledged that as teachers in a progressive ever changing world. It is essential that we break paradiams and open our minds to better understand the thinking and new social culture that our children and students live in. Especially us who are stuck in the old mind set. We are now living in an interactive society. Multi-tasking is becoming a given. I now realize that I challenge students in my class that multi-task, thinking that they will miss cues or something , where in fact they are living the norm of an individual who functions effectively in both worlds. My students ongoingly want to critique and question everything, or even give an opinion to a conversation on the other side of the room. This lets me see that yes, we are definetly living in a
new world of collective intelligence and in a world with an increase in "socialcultral perspective".
