The article I read discussed the importance of technological use in the classroom, and allowing students to communicate on various networking sites as a way to express themselves, and explore their interests in an educational way. Will Richardson quotes, "These are allowing us not only to mine the wisdom and experiences of the more than one billion people now online but also to connect with them to further our understanding of the global experience and do good work together." I think this quote really reflects how important it is, and how effective it could be if more technology and social media sites were used in the classroom. They allow students to be able to work together, give each other feedback, comments, etc. and communicate while at the same time exploring their interests and learning new things.
I was surprised at the intensity and passion that came through in this piece, Richardson clearly strongly believes that technology and social sites should be a part of the school system, and that they're the most effective way for students to express themselves, and explore their passions. I think this could be useful in our class, as we use blogger already to express ourselves and at the same time, learn about cinematography. The idea also relates to our Youtube sharing, which gives us a chance to share our work with the outside world, and get feedback from people other than our teacher and peers.
I'm interested in exploring different kinds of cinematography, and how to edit videos to make them really high quality, and nice to watch. My favorite kinds of videos are videos that are high quality, nicely edited and overall professional looking, so I think it'd be interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes of impressive videos like that, and maybe make one.
