Wednesday October 13, 2010 I though the video was very enlightening.

Thursday, October 14, 2010 Yes, because Tommy is reading a book about school and teachers that are people. Margie is interested in this book because they go to school in their homes and they're taught by robots and technology. While Tommy is reading this book, Margie keeps asking questions. She doubts the fact that humans were teachers and states that humans are not as smart as the robots they have for teachers now. As margie was learning with her robot teacher, she kept thinking about what school used to be like in the old days and how they must have loved it. Group Banana: Traditional Classroom 1.) You can ask questions to help you understand. 2.) You can communicate face to face. 3.) You're getting your information from a reliable source.

Internet 1.) There's a lot of information. 2.) You can learn outside of class. 3.) You can meet other students out of your school.

October 15, 2010 Critical thinking: When you really have to use your brain to come up with more answers than just the obvious ones. 1.) So we can learn to solve problems in a smart way. 2.) You can use the internet to find the answer to a problem, or just get information.

October 20, 2010 The internet has greatly reduced the amount of work we have to do and the amount of stress that work puts on us. But some people spend more time and money on technology. Some kids spend more time playing on the internet instead of doing the work their supposed to be doing. I can say from experience that I would play games on the computer during school instead of listening to my teacher and doing my work. Another reason why the internet is not as great at people make it out to be is that it gives kids a reason not to use their brains. For example, most kids get calculators now so they don't add, subtract, divide, and multiply the old fashioned way. Technology has been a big help with research papers, but we can also get most of the information we get from the internet from books.
