Video

I loved this video. He is completely right. The teachers don't care about teaching and education. They really care about facts. Dan is so right about so many things especially about the internet. There is so much out there that is free, why do we worry. For instance when he talks about the institution revolution, if it refuses to adapt it will die and that is true. I also agree with the value with information. If you want to know something you find it out in no time. Where back then hardly anyone knew informtion, and information was very valuable where today nothing is valuable. I also liked his point about buying books. Why buy books we don't use them, and only open then once or twice and pay so much for them. Video was very good and informative.

Tiny

I actually enjoyed using the Tiny site. I set up an account and it was easy to use. Somethings haven't been so easy this semester to catch onto, but this was pretty nice. I liked the site, and found it easy to use, and understand.

Map

http://www.batchgeo.com/map/05a6d6fb41c257d9596ad45d8ee8ae51

I didn't mind this activity. I just don't like how you have to resize it every time to see the whole map.
I would use this in my classroom to show the students how to find out where things are in the world, at home or other countries. You can see everything very well, and it would be nice when your talking about paris, jsut to pull this up, time in an address of where your talking about and show the students where it is. I know we have those maps to pull down that use to hang on the chalk board, but how much cooler is it this way. you can even let the students experiment with the site, to locate other things. Great way to add technology into the classroom.
