It is interesting to see the different types of technology that are now available to teachers and their students. Thinking back, at least from what I heard, even having the internet was such a jump from living back in the early 1900's when not even computers were around. I often wonder...
(Q1) "How would it be to live back in the early 1900's, when such technology was not available"?
(A1)Well I guess one makes use of what they have available, and such expectations of students were not required so long ago. That's when you hear the people talk of how things 'have changed'. but I personally live my life around new technology, as I am sure many others would say the same. Computers and Internet are a part of my everyday routine, as with my education. Therefore, I feel lucky to have such access.
In the article "Chatting It Up Online", Livingston discusses how author chats are available to anyone with Internet access. I see it as an amazing opportunity to be able to discuss a favorite interest with the creator of that particular interest.
(Q2) "If given the opportunity, would I take advantage of this chat to discuss interests with either my favorite author or creator? if so who would it be?"
(A2) I definitely feel that I would like to talk with someone such as Shel Silverstein, whom I've admired since I was a little girl. He is a wonderful poet who wrote many books such as "Where the Sidewalk Ends", "a Light In The Attic" and "The Giving Tree" (Just a few of my favorites). Such simple poetry with such an impact, that could be questioned and analyzed every time you read one of his pieces.
With such great opportunities and advances in technology, one must definitely wonder what the future holds!
