People can always say that there is more to life then just technology. If you haven't noticed, technology is the world today and keeps continually keep growing everyday no matter what anybody says or does about it. I honestly believe that if it wasn't for me being so visually hands on when I was younger, I probably would still be where I was back in the future. Technology is one of those powerful tools that you can never live without because if you even try to get away from technology, well then... Technology has a way of hunting people down whether it wants you to or not.
I believe that the impact on the learning process could only improve from here on. The learning process is one thing that you don't want to mess with because of the fact that it can be the way that someone or something has there own ways of doing things and you don't think people do. Visualizing with Technology has actually increased the lives of others that have come before me. And I definitely believe that Technology will be staying around for quite some time.
As Always,

Podcasting!
Podcasting is one of those things that not very many people do, nor watch either. I also learned that you can watch podcasts on you iPod and or MP3's. But podcasting is also one of those hidden things that I didn't know that you could use as a teacher for like lectures. Podcasting is somewhat of a hidden secret that most people don't use because of YouTube now and days.
There are some similarities of some Web 2.0 applications and podcasting. Like, let's say that blogs are similar to podcasting because both can present information and you can present your own thoughts on the subject at hand. As well as the fact that other people can respond to what you're saying.
I own a lot of electronics in this day of age. Yes, I do own an iPod and in middle school I use to own an MP3 as well. I mainly use my iPod for music because of the fact that I have a nano, so it's kind of hard to watch a podcast on it. I would definitely use podcasting in my classroom because if I couldn't finish the lecture for that day, my students can just watch my podcast to get the rest of the notes fcor that class. Sometimes I think that the disadvantages and or advantages of online communication tools can sometimes make everything confusing, especially for those people that aren't computer savy but overall I believe that the online communications is a better way of life.

Web 2.0 Tools!
Well there are a lot of things that Web 2.0 Tools can help you with on a regular and daily basis but i believe that the Web 2.0 Tools are used way more in a teachers classroom today. To me, Web 2.0 Tools are basically a way to integrate all of the different types of social medias together, so that it makes it easier for people to find and figure out how to use technology in this day and age because of the fact that technology has gotten extremely more complicated as time keeps going on.
In today's day an age in education, Web 2.0 Tools have the ability to combine technology with many collaborations in the social networks. Then is using technology which is most of the student's use on a regular daily basis like Facebook, Myspace, Google, Wikipedia, and even Flickr, but it's also an avenue to talk to professionals and ask student's for there opinions. Web 2.0 Tools will get students writing and thinking, it gives the students an authentic audience to write to, it helps student's to communicate and collaborate in Web 2.0 Tools, and it will eliminate the walls in schools. And Web 2.0 Tools will allow collaboration with anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
