I listened to a Ed Tech Weekly podcast from the Ed Tech Talk website this week. You can find the podcast here.
This week they talked about connectivism. Connectivism is basically the design and delivery of using social networking in learning. The talked about the pros and cons of connectivism and how it works in the classroom. They also talked about pros and cons of getting an LMS for their school district, and how some teachers are not willing to fully commit to the aspect of this online learning. I think it is a highly debatable topic.
They also talked about how Journalism is affected with the addition of new technology. I think this is an important topic, because I'm going to be a Journalism Teacher. I think that teachers need to learn technology and understand how technology is going to work in the journalism field in the future. A lot of journalism online is replacing paper journalism, and the future of journalism is kind of up in the air.
Overall, I think it is important to incorporate technology into the classroom, but I'm not sure how far the incorporation should go.
