= = =Welcome T2T Interns to our Wiki Space!!  = = = =(Thank you for the welcome) =

=However , I plan on stealing this platform for my own personal use... mu ha ha =


 * Are you kidding me??!! Did someone really make us scroll down all of the way to the bottom??!! To answer the question of what would I do if my students did something like that... maybe I wouldn't give them permission to edit this intro page!! Too much power & definitely too much of a pain to read through!! Thanks for the TIP!!! **

Ok I won't steal it completely.... I'll just make you scroll down alot....

and look at all those ads on the right hand side

Well i guess they don't live this far down.

but we're not to the bottom of this yet....

but seriously folks

what

if

your

'little angel'

students

did

something

like

this

to

your

shared

workspace?

What would you do? =(Ah....Clearly one of my "little angel" students did do this. Soooooooo, what do you suggest that I do to the culprit who tried to steal the space? Actually, in a typical classroom, you would need to set parameters and guidelines for the online spaces you use just as you do for the physical spaces.)=

Ok, here's the rest of it....

==Please add your voice to the dialogue (does that mean here?) as you discover resources, encounter questions or challenges, and gain insights about how we can use the emerging technologies of the 21st century to engage our students -- and ourselves -- in learning.==

One place to begin our discussion is with Michael Wesch's YouTube video "A Portal to Media Literacy" at [].

(Are there any other places to begin this discussion?)

I'm still pondering the implications of the trends he discusses -- trends toward ubiquitous networks ubiquitous computing ubiquitous information at unlimited speed about everything everywhere from anywhere on all kinds of devices... What does that mean for __me__ as a teacher educator?  (it will mean something, but I want a job first, and then work myself to death on making sure that I have quality curriculum prior to throwing new technology into the mix)  What does it mean for __you__ as a new teacher working with students who live in a world that is becoming less of a "download world" and more of an "upload world"?

Go to the Discussion Tab at the top. Click and post a response to the video. Do Wesch's comments excite you? Scare you?  Intrigue you? What do you think the trends might mean for you in your classroom? How might you //leverage// (a word that Wesch uses often) these trends to engage your students and help them equip themselves for the world outside the traditional classroom? Share your thoughts.
