iPhone

I think that the iPhone is really cool for most people! For me personally though the iPhone would be a total waste of money! My phone can text, make calls, and take pictures and that is more then enough for me! I think it's great for business people so they can keep track of everything and have the internet and everything else but for everyone else I think it's just excessive! I feel the same way about Blackberrys. My bestfriend just got a blackberry pearl and has to pay for the datapackage and she doesn't even use the internet on it!

Including Audio and Video into Teaching

Today in class we learned about including audio and video into our teaching curriculum. I think this is an excellent idea! I always learn better when I can see the proper way of doing something. With videos, teachers can pause the tape and point out certain things that the students should pay close attention to and then resume the tape so they can see for themselves. This is also an excellent thing for students who are visual or auditory learners because they can see and hear what is going on. Also, this is good for students who may have a hearing disability. I think videos are an excellent way to help students understand the concepts we are teaching!!
