Students in a technological world
Read this article from the Washington Post about a Virginia high school student who called to complain about an administrator's decision to hold school even after a snow storm which caused many problems. After you read the story, discuss just how digital immigrants (such as the people in my generation and older generations) fail to understand the importance of technology to the digital natives (students in the current generation). What about how technology is changing the rules of behavior and changing the ideas about what is appropriate and allowable and what is not?

as we as humans we will advance in technology its bound to happen,i believe its good for kids to enjoy technology it will expand our knowledge, and increase our computer technology.
I think it is good that we have technology but we need to learn how to use it. lioke that kid that did the phone call he had no right to do that. We should learn how to use technology for are own knowledege. technology is good if we use it right.
It has helped us with all our communication. We are able to discuss topics of international importance. We have better trade. We can fax important documents. There are problems with technology though. Kids can get so hooked on videogames that all they do is sit there and do absolutely nothing. There are pros and cons to technology. We can only imagine what we will create.
IT is sweet that we have technology cause it makes life so much easyer. and we havent even really touched on it. it will get so much more advanced then it is. which means it will become harder to understand. but in a way we dont want it to become more advanced cause then we wouldnt be doing any thing and become lazy and fat
