I enjoyed looking at everyone's Online Presentations - they were educational but still fun to review. I think kids would love putting digital posters together, and filming themselves would probably be an exciting change to the day-to-day grind of classroom assignments.
Melissa's poster about Speak Up made reference through text and video clips to the fact that students were surveyed in regards to their school's level of competence in providing technology to the students they serve. Unfortunately, not many schools would receive high scores for their efforts. Also, Mr. Obama, I hope you are listening to the suggestions from the students - they are the future of our nation!
Katie's video spoke about using Assistive Technology to work with students with disabilities. I have had the opportunity to work with some of these systems (communication boards) and they help to keep students in line with their peers and provide a level of success for children that would not be able to be accomplished without technology.
While reading Lisa's glog I learned that China has a strong long distance learning program that serves college students and also millions of farmers. This is not information that I would have ever discovered on my own, and who would have ever guessed that this combination of groups would be using technology in China - college students and farmers??!
