The Digital World

         Over the ages the digital world has been apart of our lives and has only improved and become more and more prominent over the past decade.  Technology is like a tsunami wave consuming everything it comes in contact with.  The wave does not always destroy what it hits but can overwhelm the people or bodies around it.  Technology is an amazing invention and can be used to better the future of our world and Lord know we need all the help we can get, so what better way to utilize this digital awakening then by showing our students how to manage, manipulate, and make for themselves a new and brighter future.  With the help of teachers around the world who are dedicated to knowledge we can incorporate technology in the classroom with things such as United Streaming which makes videos, blogs, movies, slide shows, and speeches accessible to students to use and learn from.  There are also digital devices that have been around doing their job for quite sometime such as Safari Montage.  The educational content chapter from this device is amazing and has been around for a very long time.  As a child I remember watching such shows on the television like Reading Rainbow, Magic School Bus, School House Rock, and the list goes on and on.  If you think about it technology and education have gone hand in hand for quite some time.  They take the technology out there and put it together with education to make instructional shows for children across the world.  Teachers also have to be aware that technology can be a trap and unsafe as I stated earlier it is like a tsunami so be careful in your teachings and demonstrations as too not bring to much attention to the unsecure sites and information.
